Wildlife Exclusion and Repair

Ridge vents provide perfect shelter opportunities for bats that can squeeze through tiny 3/8-inch gaps, as well as determined squirrels and raccoons that will damage materials to gain access. These elevated entry points are particularly attractive to wildlife seeking the warm, protected environment of your attic, where they can nest undisturbed.

Gable vents are irresistible entry points for bats, birds, and squirrels due to their often inadequate screening and accessible location on your home. Larger wildlife like raccoons can easily compromise standard vent coverings, while smaller creatures take advantage of existing openings to establish nesting sites that can lead to significant property damage.

Kitchen, bathroom, and dryer exhaust vents attract birds, mice, and squirrels seeking warm, sheltered spaces to raise their young. Wildlife that nests in these crucial ventilation systems creates serious fire hazards and efficiency problems while potentially introducing disease-carrying parasites like bird mites into your living space.

The gaps created by eave returns, where your soffit meets or returns to a different roofline, give squirrels, raccoons, rats and mice access to your home as they look for shelter. These often-overlooked structural features are gaps left by the builder that wildlife often widen over time, especially when positioned near gutters that wildlife use as convenient pathways to infiltrate your attic space.

Mice, rats, raccoons, and squirrels frequently target soffit vents beneath your eaves because these inconspicuous openings provide direct access to insulation-rich areas perfect for nesting. These vents are particularly vulnerable because they’re rarely inspected by homeowners, often with inadequate screens or cover that are easily compromised by wildlife that can chew through materials or exploit existing gaps in the screening.

Foundation and crawl space vents provide easy access points for snakes, mice, and rats that can squeeze through vent openings. These ground-level access points often go undetected until pests have established substantial populations beneath your home, leading to insulation destruction and creating potential health risks for your family.
