Asheville Wildlife Exclusion

Intruding wildlife can make your home feel more like a nature preserve than a residence. While a nature reserve may be fun to visit, they’re not nearly as enjoyable when you have to live with the constant intrusions and challenges presented by cohabitating wildlife.

Signs You Have a Wildlife Infestation

Content V7 Alt Content

Wildlife is an important part of our environment. Our ecosystem is constantly in a delicate balance, and removing wildlife for good can cause some serious issues. With that being said, you can keep your property eco-friendly while also protecting your home and your family from the potential hazards that wildlife can provide. If you suspect wildlife may have found its way into your home, then it’s important to call for help right away. While you may not see a rat, raccoon, or other type of wildlife, there are ways to know if your home may have been infiltrated.

Some common signs of wildlife infestations include:

• Holes in your roof
• Damaged or eaten insulation
• Damaged siding, screens, and windows
• Urine stains on your walls and floors
• Unexplained sounds in your attic or walls
• Small feces on your floors or windowsills
• Nests or messy piles on your attic floor
• Dead rodents and birds (often appearing as though they have been eaten)

All of these are characteristic signs that wildlife has not only found its way into your home, but has taken up residence and built a home of its own. Our wildlife exclusion services can help you get rid of these intruders for good.

Exclusion Methods

When it comes to wildlife exclusion, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. At Summit Pest Solutions, we take the time to understand your specific problem and tailor our exclusion methods to your home and situation. We do this by both eliminating your current problem and placing an added focus on wildlife exclusion.

As the name implies, exclusion simply means proactively keeping wildlife out of your home by making it impossible for them to get back in. Exclusion methods can vary from home to home, however there are a few general strategies that we tend to utilize for most properties.

• Sealing entrances: The first step to any exclusion method is to seal off any potential entrances wildlife used to get in in the first place. That means finding gaps in your exterior envelope and filling them appropriately, closing off any holes, and placing appropriate screens or barriers over openings that are necessary.
• Eliminating enticements: Removing factors that brought in wildlife in the first place is also important to preventing wildlife from coming back. Putting lids on indoor trash cans, cleaning up messes, and eliminating standing food or water sources all remove the appeal of your home in the eyes of wildlife.
• Pest control: A number of different wildlife species are attracted to areas with high pest populations. Eliminating insects and other pests can also remove the attraction your property has to some species of wildlife.
