Professional Wildlife Exclusion
Entry point sealing is the most critical component of wildlife control. Simply removing animals without sealing entry points guarantees they'll return - or new animals will move in. Our professional exclusion services identify and seal every potential entry point using materials wildlife cannot breach, providing permanent protection for your Louisville property.

Professional Exclusion Materials
We use commercial-grade materials specifically designed to withstand wildlife:
Heavy-Gauge Steel Mesh
1/4" or 1/2" galvanized steel mesh that wildlife cannot chew through. Used for vents, soffits, and large openings.
Metal Flashing
Aluminum or steel flashing for roof edges, fascia boards, and areas requiring durable, weather-resistant barriers.
Copper Mesh
Flexible copper mesh for irregular gaps, pipe penetrations, and areas requiring moldable exclusion material.
Concrete & Mortar
For foundation gaps, burrow entrances, and areas requiring permanent, solid barriers.
Chimney Caps
Heavy-duty stainless steel chimney caps with mesh screening preventing raccoon and bird entry.
Vent Covers
Wildlife-proof vent covers maintaining proper airflow while preventing animal entry.
Common Entry Points We Seal
- • Roof Vents: Ridge vents, gable vents, and turbine vents damaged by wildlife
- • Soffits & Fascia: Gaps where soffits meet walls or damaged fascia boards
- • Chimneys: Uncapped chimneys allowing raccoon, bird, and squirrel entry
- • Dryer Vents: Exterior dryer vents without proper wildlife-proof covers
- • Foundation Gaps: Cracks and gaps in foundations allowing rodent entry
- • Utility Penetrations: Gaps around pipes, wires, and cables entering buildings
- • Crawl Space Vents: Damaged or missing crawl space vent covers
- • Roof-Wall Junctions: Gaps where roof meets walls or dormers
Species-Specific Exclusion
Different animals require different exclusion approaches:
Raccoon Exclusion
Requires heavy-duty materials (steel mesh, metal flashing) as raccoons are strong and persistent. Must seal openings 3+ inches.
Squirrel Exclusion
Must seal gaps 1.5+ inches using chew-proof materials. Squirrels gnaw through wood, plastic, and aluminum.
Bat Exclusion
Requires sealing gaps as small as 3/8". Must use one-way devices during exclusion period (August-April).
Rodent Exclusion
Must seal openings 1/4" or larger using steel wool, copper mesh, or concrete. Mice and rats gnaw through most materials.
