Wildlife Exclusion Services That Keep Animals From Coming Back
Once an animal finds a way in, it will use that same entry point again and again. That is where wildlife exclusion comes in. Rather than just removing what is there now, Petti Pest Control seals the gaps, cracks, and openings that gave wildlife access in the first place. It is the part of wildlife control that actually makes the difference long-term.
Built for Older Construction and Properties With Outbuildings
Homes and barns in the Valley tend to have more entry points than most people realize. Gaps around rooflines, deteriorating wood framing, vents without proper covers, spaces where utilities enter the foundation. These are exactly the kind of vulnerabilities that squirrels, bats, snakes, and other animals take advantage of. Petti technicians know what to look for because they work on these properties every day.
The exclusion process starts with a thorough inspection, inside and out. From there, we identify every potential entry point and seal it using materials that hold up against the conditions here. That means the crawlspace, the barn, the shop, and anywhere else animals have been getting through. Once the work is done, animals cannot get back in the way they came, which means you are not dealing with the same problem six months from now.
Wildlife control done right is not just about removal. It is about making sure the problem does not come back. That is what exclusion is for, and it is what Petti delivers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can wildlife damage my attic insulation?
Yes, and it's one of the most common and costly consequences of a wildlife intrusion. Animals nesting in attics contaminate and compress insulation with droppings and urine, significantly reducing its effectiveness. We offer TAP® insulation installation as an option for attics where the existing insulation has been damaged or compromised.
Do you use humane wildlife removal methods?
Yes. We use humane methods and organic products throughout our wildlife control process.
How do I know if wildlife has gotten into my attic or walls?
Common signs include scratching, scurrying, or thumping sounds inside your walls or ceiling, often most noticeable at night. Other indicators include a strong ammonia smell from accumulated droppings and urine, visible entry points or damage around your roofline, soffit, or foundation, nesting material appearing in unexpected places, and unexplained damage to wiring or insulation.
What diseases can wildlife carry into my home?
Bats are associated with rabies and histoplasmosis. Birds carry salmonella and can harbor mites and ticks. Rodent-like wildlife such as squirrels can transmit similar illnesses to mice and rats. Snakes themselves rarely carry disease, but can bring mites and ticks indoors. Proper removal, exclusion, and sanitization are all important for eliminating these risks, not just the animal itself.
What wildlife do you remove?
We handle a wide range of wildlife that can invade homes and properties, including bats, birds, snakes, and squirrels, among many others.
Do you handle snake removal on rural properties?
Yes. Snakes are a common concern on Valley properties, particularly near fields, woodlines, and outbuildings. We identify the species, remove it safely, and assess the property for conditions that may be attracting them.
