Rodent & Wildlife Exclusion

What is Pest Exclusion?

Put simply, pest exclusion is the process of sealing up gaps, cracks, and holes in a building’s defenses to prevent pests from accessing it. Trapping and releasing individual animals can only do so much to solve a pest problem; as long as their access points are still open, pests could easily find their way inside.

Rodents and wildlife are a constant concern for any homeowner. Between the diseases they can carry and the property destruction they can cause, an unwelcome animal guest is never a pleasant surprise. Worse, they can be hard to remove once they establish themselves.

That’s why exclusion services are such a powerful tool in wildlife and rodent control; by preventing pests from entering your home in the first place, you could save a lot of time and trouble.

Here’s how the Schendel Pest Services team’s process works:

Schendel Pest Services Exclusion Solutions

Many people are surprised to learn how many potential vulnerabilities their homes have. For example, mice and rats can squeeze through any opening big enough to fit their heads through. Finding and sealing these tiny gaps is a very simple, cost-effective, and powerful way to keep nuisance wildlife out. Below are just a few of the pest exclusion solutions we use at Schendel Pest Services

  • Door sweep installation
  • Weather stripping installation
  • Sealing entry points with sealant
  • Installing covers on exterior vents
  • Screening weep holes in windows
  • Installing plumbing caps on accessible pipes
  • Installing a chimney cap


It’s an eco-friendly solution that uses minimal chemicals.


Exclusion materials are durable and offer long-lasting performance.


These treatments can withstand harsh weather conditions.


This method protects your home from multiple kinds of pests – all at once!

Signs of a Rodent Infestation

Rodents are one of nature’s most prolific pests for a number of reasons. That’s why it’s so important to keep a close eye out for signs of a potential infestation; once you spot a single mouse or rat, there could already be hundreds more lurking out of sight. 

Some of the most common signs of a rodent infestation include:

Droppings

These are a pretty surefire sign that you have unwanted guests.

Gnaw Marks

Rodents need to chew constantly to make sure their teeth don’t overgrow. They’ll chew anything, from paper and plastic to drywall and wiring.

Nests

You might find piles of soft materials – cloth, paper, shredded cardboard, and more – tucked in hidden corners of your attic or closet, or anywhere else that isn’t frequently disturbed.

Scratching Noises

Rodents prefer to remain out of sight, but that doesn’t mean you won’t hear them! You might hear scratching noises in the walls at night when rodents are most active.

Sightings

This one’s a no-brainer. Rodents breed rapidly; If you spot one, there are probably more where that came from.
