For homeowners, rodents and wildlife represent a persistent challenge. Beyond the health risks they pose and the damage they can inflict on property, these uninvited animals can be notoriously difficult to evict once they gain entry. This is why exclusion strategies are essential in managing wildlife and rodent problems: by barring pests before they infiltrate your living space, you avoid prolonged complications and expenses.

Our team at Suburban Exterminating employs advanced methods to keep rodents and wildlife at bay, including the innovative Flexi Armour system. Continue reading to discover how our exclusion approach safeguards your home!

Understanding Pest Exclusion and Its Importance

In essence, pest exclusion involves closing off all openingsโ€”cracks, holes, and crevicesโ€”that pests might exploit to enter a building. Simply capturing and relocating individual creatures offers only a temporary fix; as long as access points remain, pests will continue to return.

Here is the step-by-step procedure our Suburban Exterminating experts follow:

  • Comprehensive Inspection: We begin with a no-cost evaluation to pinpoint vulnerabilities around your property.
  • Customized Plan: Next, we design a strategy tailored specifically to the unique layout and needs of your home.
  • Humane Removal:ย We then safely and ethically remove any hazardous wildlife inhabiting your premises.
  • Sealing and Protection:ย Finally, we reinforce your homeโ€™s barriers using Flexi Armour and other exclusion materials to prevent re-entry.

Suburban Exterminatingโ€™s Comprehensive Exclusion Techniques

Many homeowners are unaware of how many small openings can serve as entryways for rodents like mice and rats, which can slip through any gap large enough to fit their heads. Identifying and sealing these tiny access points is a straightforward, affordable, and highly effective way to deter unwanted animals. Below are some of the exclusion solutions we implement at Suburban Exterminating:

  • Installing door sweeps to block gaps beneath exterior doors.
  • Applying weather stripping around windows and doors.
  • Sealing cracks and openings with specialized sealants.
  • Fitting protective covers over outdoor vents.
  • Screening weep holes in windows to block smaller pests.
  • Adding caps to exposed plumbing pipes.
  • Mounting chimney caps to prevent animal ingress.

What Is Flexi Armour?

You hear about a lot of different solutions for pest control. Some are overly complex, others are just wishful thinking. Flexi Armour is different. It’s a well-made, intelligently designed material: a knitted stainless steel mesh. And here’s why that’s good: it’s flexible enough to be installed perfectly, creating a seal with no gaps. But it’s also, you know, steel. Pests aren’t getting through it. Itโ€™s a satisfyingly simple and effective concept.

Here are the benefits you get with Flexi Armour:

Rodents and other wildlife are surprisingly powerful. You need something that can stand up to a sustained effort. Stainless steel does that. It's just a superior material for the job.

Advantages of Rodent and Wildlife Exclusion

Using exclusion techniques offers several key benefits for homeowners aiming to keep wildlife out:

  • Completely blocks rodents and wildlife from gaining entrance.
  • Provides an environmentally responsible alternative that minimizes chemical use.
  • Employs durable materials engineered for long-term protection.
  • Designed to endure adverse weather and seasonal changes.
  • Offers broad-spectrum defense against a variety of pest species simultaneously.

Common Indicators of a Rodent Problem

Rodents are among the most prolific and challenging pests to control, making early detection crucial. By the time you see one mouse or rat, there could already be many more hidden nearby. Watch for these typical signs of infestation:

  • Droppings.ย Clear evidence that rodents have been present.
  • Gnaw Marks.ย Rodents constantly chew to keep their teeth from overgrowing, damaging everything from wiring to drywall.
  • Nests.ย Look for collections of shredded paper, fabric, or cardboard in concealed spots such as attics or closets.
  • Scratching Sounds.ย Though rodents tend to stay hidden, you might hear noises inside walls or ceilings, especially at night.
  • Sightings.ย Spotting a rodent usually means there is a larger population nearby, given their rapid breeding cycle.
