There are many kinds of animals that want to make your attic and crawl space into their home! Bats, rats, mice, raccoons, opossums, otters, and birds of all kinds are the most common creatures that will try to inhabit your crawl space and attic. We utilize state-of-the-art techniques for pinpointing animal exclusion areas. Animal Exclusion is the process of blocking off entry points that an animal can come through. Proper exclusion will ensure that animals are not able to enter your attic or crawl space.

Points of Exclusion

Gaps, Cracks, Holes, and Vents

There are many ways that an animal can get into your attic. Mice and Bats can enter through holes the size of a dime and rats through the size of a quarter. Birds can also enter through small holes and gaps in your attic. Larger gaps or incorrectly installed ventilation screen can allow larger animals such as otters, raccoons, opossums, and even feral cats to enter the space. To protect your home from unwanted visitors, Your Home Experts professionals will perform a thorough investigation, identifying those areas of concern.

What We Look For

Animals of all types can gain safe entry through cracks or holes, openings in vents, and through an unprotected foundation drain.Your Home Experts professionals will look at electrical and pipe penetrations, the foundation and framing, construction gaps, holes in the exterior of your home, as well as, the integrity of your ventilation screening and crawl space door. If we find places that an animal could enter through, we will seal it with concrete or screen the area with wire mesh.

What’s the Problem with Rodents?

Rodents are more than house-guests who overstay their visit. Many of these critters are carriers of severe diseases and dangerous bacteria. If someone in your family comes in contact with rodent feces, they may develop an infection. Even worse, a single bite may send them to the emergency room for rabies treatment. And once a rodent gets inside, it’s only a matter of time before they breed and wreak havoc on your home.

Every homeowner needs to take rodent control seriously. Although these creatures may look cute on the outside, letting them into your home comes with severe consequences. Removing any pests as soon as you find them is the best way to keep your family safe. That’s why Your Home Experts offers professional pest control services to all our clients.
