Rodents and wildlife create serious problems for homeowners. They spread diseases, damage property, and are difficult to deal with once they establish themselves inside a home. Exclusion services address these problems by stopping rodents and wildlife from getting inside in the first place.
Allied Termite & Pest Control technicians use several exclusion methods, including the Flexi Armour system, to keep unwanted animals outside your home. Keep reading to learn how our pest exclusion process works.
Pest exclusion involves finding and sealing gaps, cracks, holes, and other openings that pests use to enter a building. Removing or trapping animals may solve immediate problems, but closing access points prevents new animals from getting inside.
Our Wildlife Exclusion Process
Here’s what the Allied Termite & Pest Control wildlife control team does for every service plan:
- Inspection. We begin with a free inspection to find vulnerable points and potential wildlife entry areas.
- Planning. A member of our team will develop an exclusion plan for you based on your home’s specific needs.
- Removal. We humanely remove any hazardous wildlife currently on the property.
- Exclusion. After the animals are gone, we seal vulnerable areas with Flexi Armour and other professional exclusion materials to prevent them from getting back inside.
Exclusion Services We Offer
Homes have more entry points than homeowners realize. Mice and rats, for example, can squeeze through any openings large enough to fit their heads. Finding and sealing these small gaps is a simple and cost-effective way to make your home less accessible to nuisance wildlife. Some of our exclusion services include:
- Attaching door sweeps.
- Installing weather stripping.
- Sealing entry points with sealant.
- Adding covers to exterior vents.
- Screening window weep holes.
- Installing plumbing caps on accessible pipes.
- Adding chimney caps.

Advantages of Rodent & Wildlife Exclusion
Exclusion blocks out rodents and other wildlife before they can enter your home. Some of the benefits include:
- Sealing gaps prevents rodents and wildlife from accessing your home.
- It’s an eco-friendly approach that doesn’t require many chemicals.
- Exclusion materials are durable and designed for long-term use.
- The materials can stand up to harsh weather conditions.
- One exclusion plan can protect against multiple types of pests at the same time.
What Are The Signs of a Rodent Infestation?
Rodents reproduce quickly, so it’s important to stay ahead of potential issues. An infestation may already be developing in hidden areas of your home, and seeing even one mouse or rat means there could be hundreds more.
Important signs to look out for include:
- Droppings. Rodent droppings are a clear indication that rodents are active in or around your home.
- Gnaw marks. Rodents constantly chew to keep their teeth from becoming overgrown. They may damage paper, plastic, drywall, wiring, and other materials.
- Nests. Rodents use cloth, paper, shredded cardboard, and other soft materials to build nests in quiet areas such as attics, closets, and other hidden spaces.
- Scratching noises. Rodents are most active at night, so scratching or movement inside walls may be easier to hear after dark.
- Sightings. Rodents reproduce rapidly. If you see one mouse or rat, there are likely others that you haven’t seen.
