Animal proofing helps stop unwanted wildlife from finding its way back into your home.
Getting an animal out of your attic, crawl space, or walls solves the immediate problem. Without proper animal proofing, another squirrel, bat, raccoon, bird, or other critter may eventually find the same way in. Our approach to animal proofing starts with figuring out where your home is vulnerable. Wildlife can squeeze through surprisingly small gaps, and some entry points aren’t obvious from the ground. We inspect rooflines, vents, soffits, chimneys, crawl spaces, and foundation openings for signs of activity and places animals may be able to enter.
Once we know what we’re dealing with, we can develop an animal proofing plan suited to your property. This may involve sealing openings, reinforcing vulnerable areas, or installing barriers designed to keep animals out. We also pay attention to how the finished work looks. Protecting your home shouldn’t mean leaving it covered in unsightly patches or obvious repairs.
Animal proofing is especially important after you’ve already removed an animal. Wildlife can damage materials while creating or enlarging an entrance, and trapping the animal alone doesn’t close the opening it left behind. Addressing both sides of the problem helps break the cycle of repeated wildlife visits.
You don’t have to wait until you hear scratching overhead to think about prevention, either. Proactive animal proofing can identify potential trouble spots before a critter turns them into an entrance. It’s a practical way to protect your attic, insulation, wiring, vents, and other areas where wildlife can cause expensive problems.
