How Nuisance Wildlife Control Excludes Animals from Your Home: A Step-by-Step Breakdown

When wildlife makes its way into your home, each species brings its own unique problems—and requires a customized solution. At Nuisance Wildlife Control, we’ve perfected a strategic exclusion process to safely and effectively remove animals and prevent them from coming back. Here’s how we do it—step by step, with a different animal to show what each stage of the process looks like.

Step 1: Inspection & Assessment

🦝 Raccoon

We start by performing a full inspection of the home—roofline, attic, vents, crawlspaces, and foundation. Raccoons are large and strong, often tearing into soffits or pushing open attic vents. We look for tracks, droppings, fur, and structural damage to locate entry points and nesting areas.

Step 2: Identifying Entry Points

🐿️ Squirrel

Squirrels are notorious for chewing their way in through small gaps in the roofline, fascia, or attic corners. Once inside, they gnaw on wires, wood, and insulation. We document and mark every potential and active entry point to ensure no area is overlooked during exclusion.

Step 3: Installing One-Way Doors

🦇 Bat

When dealing with bats, we use specialized bat valves or one-way doors that allow them to exit but not re-enter. This is essential because bats are protected in many areas, and humane exclusion is required. Timing is also critical—no exclusions during baby season.

Step 4: Sealing Entry Points with Custom Metal

🪶 Bird

Birds often nest in vents, chimneys, and gaps behind siding or trim. After they’re safely removed, we seal the entry points using custom-fabricated metal or vent covers to prevent re-entry. All materials are weather-resistant and color-matched when possible.

Step 5: Habitat Clean-Up & Sanitization

🐀 Rat

Rodents leave behind urine, droppings, and nesting debris that pose serious health risks. Once entry points are sealed, we clean out contaminated areas—especially attics and crawlspaces—and apply disinfectants and deodorizers to neutralize odors and pathogens.

Step 6: Monitoring & Prevention

🦨 Skunk

For ground-dwelling animals like skunks, we monitor the site after exclusion and install dig defense barriers around decks, porches, and sheds. These are buried metal screens that stop future digging and burrowing.
