Professional installing vent cover to exclude a home from wildlife.

To keep pests out for good, exclusion is key. This process focuses on sealing up the small gaps and entry points that pests use to get inside. Without closing these openings, removing pests one by one will only provide temporary relief.

Batzner Pest Control offers a range of effective methods, including the Flexi Armour system, to block wildlife and rodents from entering your home. Learn more about how our exclusion services work!

What is Pest Exclusion?

Pest exclusion focuses on sealing potential entry points to stop rodents and wildlife from getting inside. Here’s a breakdown of how Batzner Pest Control keeps pests out:

Inspection: Our team begins with a complimentary inspection to pinpoint areas where pests may be getting in.
Planning: We craft a customized exclusion strategy based on the unique layout and needs of your home.
Removal: With the plan in place, we humanely remove any nuisance wildlife from your property.
Exclusion: Once removal is complete, we seal entry points using Flexi Armour or similar materials to keep pests from coming back.

Batzner Pest Control’s Exclusion Solutions

Homeowners are often shocked at just how many entry points their homes offer to pests. Rodents like mice and rats only need a small opening, just large enough for their heads, to squeeze through. Sealing these small gaps is a smart, affordable way to prevent wildlife from getting inside. At Batzner Pest Control, we use a range of effective exclusion techniques, including the following:

Door Protection: Installing durable door sweeps to block pest entry beneath doors.
Weatherproofing: Applying weather stripping to seal gaps around doors and windows.
Gap Sealing: Using sealant to close cracks, holes, and other entry points in the structure.
Vent Covers: Placing protective covers on exterior vents to keep pests from getting inside.
Weep Hole Screens: Installing mesh screens in window weep holes to allow airflow but stop insects.
Pipe Caps: Capping accessible plumbing lines to eliminate rodent and insect pathways.
Chimney Defense: Fitting a chimney cap to block wildlife access while maintaining airflow.

Benefits of Rodent and Wildlife Exclusion

By sealing off entry points, exclusion methods offer strong protection against unwanted pests. Here are a few reasons they’re so valuable:

Full Protection: Sealing gaps can completely prevent rodent and wildlife access.
Eco-Friendly: It’s a green solution that relies on minimal chemical use.
Long-Lasting: Exclusion materials are tough and built to last.
Weather Resistant: These treatments hold up against harsh outdoor elements.
Broad Coverage: This method guards against multiple types of pests at once.

Signs of a Rodent Infestation

Rodents are notoriously persistent and reproduce quickly, making them one of the most troublesome pests homeowners can face. That’s why early detection is critical. Seeing even one mouse or rat could mean many more are hidden nearby. Watch for these common indicators of an infestation:

Scratching Noises: Even though rodents try to stay hidden, they often give themselves away with sound. You might hear faint scratching or rustling in the walls or ceiling, especially during the night when they’re most active.
Gnaw Marks: To keep their ever-growing teeth in check, rodents chew constantly. Their bite marks can show up on anything from baseboards and wiring to plastic containers and insulation.
Droppings: Small, dark pellets found near food sources, along walls, or in cabinets are a strong indicator of rodent activity.
Nests: Rodents build nests out of shredded materials like fabric, paper, or cardboard. You may find these tucked away in secluded spots such as behind appliances or in attic corners.
Sightings: Spotting a mouse or rat out in the open is a clear warning. Since they multiply quickly, seeing one usually means others are nearby.
