My St. Matthews home is historic; how do you handle exclusion?

We specialize in wildlife exclusion for historic properties. We use materials that blend with your home's architecture, such as copper mesh and color-matched flashing, to ensure repairs are discreet and do not damage the aesthetic integrity of your Cape Cod or Bungalow style home.

Do you handle bats in older Cape Cod houses?

Yes. Cape Cod style homes in St. Matthews often have knee-walls and dormer vents that are prime nesting spots for bats. We perform specialized exclusion work to safely remove the colony and seal these specific entry points without altering the roofline.

Are there noise ordinances for wildlife removal in St. Matthews?

We respect local noise ordinances and your neighbors. Our trapping and exclusion work is generally quiet. If structural repairs are needed, we schedule them during approved hours to minimize disturbance to the neighborhood.

Historic Home Experts

However, the very features that make St. Matthews attractive—mature hardwood trees and older, character-rich homes—also make it a hotspot for wildlife activity. Older homes often have settling gaps, dormant chimneys, and architectural vents that modern wildlife have learned to exploit.

Specific Wildlife Challenges in St. Matthews

1. The Cape Cod Conundrum

The Cape Cod style home, ubiquitous in St. Matthews, features knee-walls and dormer windows. These create complex rooflines and void spaces that are difficult to inspect but perfect for bats and squirrels. We specialize in identifying the tiny gaps around dormer flashing where these animals enter.

2. The "Squirrel Highway"

St. Matthews is famous for its canopy of mature oaks and maples. While beautiful, these trees often overhang roofs, creating a direct "highway" for squirrels and raccoons to bypass your yard and jump straight onto your shingles. Once on the roof, they can chew through fascia boards or enter uncapped chimneys.

3. Commercial Pest Birds

With two major malls (Mall St. Matthews and Oxmoor Center) and numerous strip centers, St. Matthews has a high density of commercial property. These structures attract pigeons and sparrows that nest in signage and loading docks. We provide discreet bird control services to keep businesses clean and compliant.

We understand that you don't want ugly wire mesh ruining the curb appeal of your St. Matthews home. Our exclusion team uses:

✓ Color-Matched Materials: We paint vents and flashing to match your trim.
