Effective Residential Rodent and Wildlife Exclusion

Rodents and wildlife pose ongoing challenges for homeowners. Beyond the health risks associated with diseases they may carry, these animals can cause significant damage to your property. Once they settle in, removing them becomes difficult. This is why exclusion techniques are essential in controlling wildlife and rodent problems; by blocking their entry points, you can prevent infestations before they start, saving time and effort down the road.  

At Schendel Pest Services, we employ advanced methods, including our innovative Flexi Armour system, to safeguard your home from unwanted animal intrusions. Keep reading to discover how our exclusion approach works!

Understanding Pest Exclusion and Its Importance  

Pest exclusion involves sealing all potential openings—cracks, holes, and gaps—that pests use to gain access to buildings. Simply trapping and relocating animals doesn’t address the root cause; as long as entryways remain open, pests will keep returning.  

Here’s an overview of the Schendel Pest Services team’s step-by-step exclusion process:  

• Inspection: We begin with a complimentary assessment to identify vulnerable areas.  
• Customized Planning: We develop a strategy tailored to your home’s unique structure and pest risks.  
• Animal Removal: Our team then humanely removes any wildlife residing on your property.  
• Exclusion Implementation: Finally, we reinforce your home’s defenses using Flexi Armour and other sealing materials to block future intrusions.

Tailored Exclusion Solutions from Schendel Pest Services  

Many homeowners are surprised at how many small access points animals can exploit. For instance, rodents like mice and rats can slip through surprisingly tiny gaps—just large enough for their heads. Identifying and sealing these weak spots is an affordable and highly effective way to deter nuisance wildlife. Here are some of the exclusion techniques we commonly use at Schendel Pest Services:  

• Installing door sweeps to block under-door entry.  
• Applying weather stripping around windows and doors.  
• Sealing cracks and crevices with specialized sealants.  
• Adding protective covers over exterior vents.  
• Screening weep holes on windows to prevent entry.  
• Capping exposed plumbing pipes.  
• Fitting chimney caps to keep animals out.

Advantages of Rodent and Wildlife Exclusion  

Employing exclusion tactics offers numerous benefits when it comes to wildlife and rodent control:  

• Completely blocks entry points, preventing pest access.  
• Environmentally friendly, minimizing or eliminating chemical use.  
• Durable materials provide long-term protection.  
• Resistant to extreme weather conditions.  
• Offers broad-spectrum defense against multiple pest species simultaneously.

Detecting a Rodent Infestation Early  

Rodents reproduce quickly and can be difficult to spot at first, making early detection critical. If you notice one rodent, it’s likely there are many more hidden nearby. Key indicators of an infestation include:  

• Droppings: A clear sign that rodents have been active in the area.  
• Gnaw Marks: Rodents constantly chew to keep their teeth in check, damaging materials like wiring, drywall, plastic, and paper.  
• Nests: Look for piles of shredded materials such as fabric, paper, or cardboard tucked away in quiet, undisturbed spaces like attics or closets.  
• Scratching Sounds: Noises from within walls or ceilings, especially at night when rodents are most active, can reveal their presence.  
• Visual Sightings: Spotting a rodent suggests a larger population is likely nearby.
