What is Wildlife Exclusion?

Exclusion is the practice of preventing pests from entering or nesting in buildings and structures. But rather than using specialized products and treatments, exclusion focuses on factors that make the building accessible and attractive to rodents and wildlife in the first place. One example of exclusion is placing wire mesh around entry points to keep wildlife out.

This proactive approach is the best approach in the long run because it reduces the risk of potential damage, health hazards, and other nuisances associated with unwanted wildlife presence.

We Offer Exclusion Services for Rodents and Wildlife

Wildlife and rodents in Central Florida can be brazen with how they try to get inside. Fortunately, with some focus on exclusion, they can be deterred. Pests, wildlife, and rodents always seek the path of least resistance. So once they realize they can’t get into your property or they won’t find what they need, they’ll go somewhere else and try again.

We offer exclusion services for these common Florida nuisance animals (and more):

• Rodents: Mice and rats may seek shelter indoors to escape the cooler temperatures. By implementing rodent exclusion, homeowners can not only prevent property damage but also mitigate health risks associated with rodents. 
• Raccoons: In search of food and shelter, raccoons might venture closer to residential areas during colder weather. They can carry and transmit rabies, making it essential for individuals to exercise caution and avoid direct contact to minimize the risk of infection.
• Squirrels: Squirrel exclusion takes on added importance during winter as these agile rodents may seek warmth and shelter in attics or crawl spaces. 
• Armadillos: Known for their burrowing tendencies, these armored creatures may target crawl spaces or areas around the foundation, posing challenges for homeowners in preventing their entry and potential disruptions to the property.
• Skunks: Skunks may attempt to seek shelter in homes, particularly in attics or crawl spaces. Drawn to the warmth and potential nesting sites, these stinky nocturnal creatures can become unwelcome houseguests. 
• Opossums: Opossum exclusion is particularly crucial in winter when these opportunistic creatures may seek warmth in and around homes. 
• Bats: Bats may venture into Central Florida homes seeking shelter from the colder temperatures. These flying mammals can pose challenges ranging from noise disturbances to potential health risks associated with their droppings.

When Do You Need Exclusion Services?

Exclusion should be part of your ongoing pest control and prevention strategy – you should allocate some time to it every season. But if it’s been a while since you last paid attention to rodent and wildlife exclusion, here are some signs you should call us now:

• If you know you have a problem: Have you seen rodents or wildlife inside? Or have you dealt with one or more issues recently? Our experienced exclusion experts can get to the bottom of the problem, determining why it keeps happening, and making sure it doesn’t again.
• In the fall or winter months: Central Florida has a warm climate, but it does get noticeably cooler in late fall and winter, prompting rodents and wildlife to seek shelter indoors. We deal with an influx of wildlife control requests every winter, but most of them would have been easily prevented with some professional exclusion measures.
• If it’s been a year or more since your last exclusion inspection: The conditions that attract rodents and wildlife can take shape quickly. Mice only need a hole about the size of a dime to squeeze in. So make sure you’re conducting a thorough inspection at least once per year. If it’s been longer than that, a professional exclusion expert can help you spot things you may otherwise miss.
• If you’ve been noticing suspicious signs lately: Have you been hearing unusual sounds such as scratching, scurrying, or chirping? Or seeing droppings, tracks, chewed wires, insulation, damaged furniture, droppings, or urine stains?  If you have any of these, or cracks, gaps, or holes in walls or the foundation, we strongly recommend calling us for exclusion services today.
