Residential Rodent and Wildlife Exclusion

For homeowners, the presence of rodents or wild animals is more than just an inconvenience. It’s a serious concern! These pests are known carriers of dangerous diseases and are capable of causing extensive damage to your home, from chewed wires to destroyed insulation. Once they find a way inside and settle in, removing them becomes much more difficult. That’s why exclusion services from a pest control expert are such a smart investment.

Xceptional Wildlife Removal protects your home using effective exclusion strategies such as the Flexi Armour system, which helps stop wildlife and rodents at the source. Exclusion is the key to long-term pest control. It means locating and sealing every vulnerable point in your home’s exterior so pests can’t return. While catching animals may seem like the solution, the real fix comes from cutting off their access entirely.

Want to know how we do it? Read on to see how our exclusion process works and why it’s so effective.

What Does Pest Exclusion Mean?

Pest exclusion is a proactive way to stop unwanted animals before they become a problem. Here’s how the Xceptional Wildlife Removal team’s process works:

• Inspection: Our process begins with a free inspection to find any vulnerable areas where pests or wildlife could enter.
• Planning: We develop a customized plan based on your home’s layout and specific problem areas.
• Removal: With the plan in place, we safely and humanely remove any wildlife causing issues on your property.
• Exclusion: After removal, we secure your home by sealing entry points using Flexi Armour or other top-tier exclusion materials to prevent future invasions.

Effective Exclusion Solutions from Xceptional Wildlife Removal

You might not realize how vulnerable your home really is until a pest problem begins. Rodents such as rats and mice can squeeze through incredibly small openings, just big enough for their heads to fit. Identifying and sealing these access points is an easy and highly effective way to prevent infestations.

Here are some of the pest exclusion techniques we rely on at Xceptional Wildlife Removal: 

• Door Sweeps: Install durable door sweeps to block gaps at the bottom of exterior doors.
• Weather Stripping: Apply weather stripping around doors and windows to seal out pests and drafts.
• Sealant Application: Use high-quality sealant to close cracks, gaps, and holes around your home’s foundation and siding.
• Vent Covers: Add protective covers to exterior vents to prevent animals from entering ductwork.
• Weep Hole Screens: Screen window weep holes to block pest entry without affecting airflow.
• Pipe Caps: Install plumbing caps on exposed or unused pipes to stop rodents and insects from using them as entryways.
• Chimney Cap: Fit a secure chimney cap to keep birds, squirrels, and other wildlife from nesting inside.

What Is Flexi Armour?

The beauty of Flexi Armour is in its design. It’s a knitted stainless steel mesh, and it’s that combination that makes it so effective. It’s flexible, so it creates a seamless seal in any gap. But it’s also incredibly strong because it’s steel. Pests simply can’t get through.

Stainless Steel Mesh Construction

You need real strength to stop determined pests. Stainless steel provides that. It's a tough, durable material that creates a barrier you can have total confidence in.

This is a solution built to last. It’s designed to handle all kinds of weather, year after year, so you’re not worrying about it next season. You do it once, and you're good.

Humane Protection

It’s about protecting your home in a way you can feel good about. By sealing the entry points, you prevent a problem from ever starting, which is just a cleaner, better way to do things.

Advantages of Rodent and Wildlife Exclusion

Exclusion strategies help stop wildlife and rodents before they ever get inside. Here are just a few reasons why they’re so effective:

• Pest Prevention: Sealing gaps can completely prevent rodent and wildlife access.
• Eco-Friendly: It’s an environmentally safe solution that uses little to no chemicals.
• Long-Lasting: Exclusion materials are durable and provide extended protection over time.
• Weather-Resistant: These treatments hold up well against rain, wind, heat, and other harsh conditions.
• Multi-Pest Shield: This method defends your home from multiple types of pests at once.

What are the Signs of a Rodent Infestation?

Rodents are among the most persistent pests in nature for many reasons. It’s crucial to watch carefully for any signs of infestation, because spotting just one mouse or rat often means many more are hidden nearby.

Here are some of the most common indicators of a rodent problem:

• Droppings: Finding rodent droppings is a clear and reliable indicator that unwanted pests are nearby.
• Gnaw Marks: Rodents constantly chew to keep their teeth from overgrowing and will gnaw on anything from plastic and paper to drywall and electrical wiring.
• Nests: Look for hidden piles of soft materials like cloth, shredded paper, or cardboard in secluded areas such as attics, closets, or other undisturbed spots.
• Scratching Noises: Although rodents try to stay hidden, you may hear scratching or scurrying sounds within walls, especially at night when they’re most active.
• Sightings: Spotting a rodent is an obvious sign of infestation, and because they reproduce quickly, seeing one often means there are many more nearby.
