Having wildlife living in your yard, or worse, your walls, can be a stressful and frightening experience. Especially in the months before the temperatures start to drop, we all have to take precautions to ensure that our homes aren’t overrun with uninvited animals. If you’re looking for help keeping wildlife off of your property, look no further than the wildlife exclusion experts at Florida Pest Control.
Our wildlife exclusion service includes inspection, removal, and prevention—the perfect package to remove wildlife pests from your property and keep them out for good!
Understanding Wildlife Exclusion
Wild animals might look cute, but they can cause big problems if they get into your home. Raccoons in the attic, squirrels in the soffit, or skunks under the crawlspace can damage your house and create health risks.
Our wildlife control services use safe and humane methods to block entry points, keeping nuisance wildlife outside where they belong.
What is Wildlife Exclusion?
In our eyes, wildlife exclusion is the complete process of removing all wildlife from a property and ensuring that they won’t come back. This endeavor could entail the use of many strategies, including wildlife netting, trapping, baiting, and more. The techniques used vary depending on the animals involved—we will remove all of these kinds of wildlife in Florida:
Importance of Exclusion in Wildlife Control
Wild animals can cause serious damage to your home. Rodents, squirrels, and raccoons chew through insulation, wires, and wood, which can lead to expensive repairs and even fire risks. Bats, moles, and chipmunks leave behind waste that can spread disease.
Our wildlife control experts check your home for weak spots, like loose attic vents, open eaves, or gaps in the walls. We don’t just remove pests—we also block entry points to keep new ones out.
With our safe and humane pest control services, including wildlife trapping and wildlife removal, you can enjoy a home free of unwanted critters.
Florida Pest Control proudly serves your local area – and we’re ready to help keep wild animals outside – where they belong.

Wild animals can find small openings around your home and use them to get inside. Once they move in, they can cause damage, spread germs, and create safety hazards. Knowing where they enter can help you protect your home.
Here are the most common places critters sneak in:
Roof and Attic Openings
Squirrels, raccoons, and bats often get inside through damaged roofs, loose shingles, or small gaps in the attic. Soffits, gable vents, and attic vents also make it easy for them to enter.
Once they’re inside, these animals can chew on electrical wires, tear up insulation for nests, and leave droppings that can be dangerous to your health. If they’re not removed, they can multiply and cause even more damage over time.
Cracks in Siding and Foundations
Rodents, chipmunks, and groundhogs can fit through surprisingly small cracks in your home’s siding or foundation. Even a tiny hole can let mice or rats inside, leading to a big infestation.
Once they’re inside, they make nests, chew on wood and wires, and could even spread diseases.
Cracks near the bottom of your house can also let bigger animals, like groundhogs, dig under your foundation.
Vents, Chimneys, and Utility Openings
Open chimneys, dryer vents, and gaps around pipes or cables can be easy ways for wildlife to get inside. Birds, bats, and squirrels often build nests in these spaces, while rats and mice can get in through even the tiniest holes.
If these openings aren’t blocked with the right screens or chimney caps, animals can easily get in and settle down inside your walls or attic.
Under Decks and Porches
Skunks, opossums, and woodchucks love the quiet, sheltered space under decks, porches, and sheds. These areas protect them from predators and bad weather, making them ideal nesting spots.
Once they move in, they might dig tunnels that can weaken the ground under your home. If they feel scared, they could also spray bad smells. If not removed, they may stay for a long time and cause even more problems.
Our Comprehensive Exclusion Process
At Florida Pest, we work hard to keep your home safe from unwanted animals. Our process focuses on finding and sealing any places where animals could get in, stopping them from coming inside, and making sure they don’t return.
We use humane methods and continue to monitor your property to keep it protected. Here’s how we do it:
Detailed Property Inspection
We start by thoroughly inspecting your property to find any signs of pests or entry points. Our team looks at both the inside and outside of your home, including your attic, roof, walls, and foundation.
This helps us find hidden areas where animals might be getting in, such as cracks, gaps, or damaged parts of your home.
Identification of Vulnerable Areas
Once the inspection is complete, we identify the spots that are most vulnerable to pests. These could include areas like open chimneys, dryer vents, small holes in your roof, or gaps around pipes and cables.
We also check your attic and any other places where animals might try to nest or enter your home.
Implementation of Physical Barriers and Repairs
After we’ve found these easy-to-enter areas, we take action by sealing them up with physical barriers or making necessary repairs. This might involve installing chimney caps, covering vents with screens, repairing holes in the siding, or fixing cracks in the foundation.
These repairs prevent animals from getting inside and causing damage.
Use of Humane Deterrents and Repellents
To keep the pests away, we use safe deterrents and repellents that won’t harm animals but will make your property less inviting.
This depends on the pest and how bad your infestation is – we might use natural scents or devices that emit sounds or vibrations to discourage pests from entering or nesting near your home.
Follow-Up and Monitoring Services
Once all the repairs and deterrents are in place, we don’t stop there. We continue to monitor your property to ensure pests don’t return.
Our team provides regular follow-up visits to check for new signs of entry or damage, and we’ll make any additional repairs if necessary to keep your home safe from any nuisance wildlife.
