When you have wild animals in your home, you might experience a wide range of emotions. First, you might be scared and stressed about your family being harmed by the animals. You might also experience panic regarding how to get the animals out safely.
Thankfully, companies like Nuisance Wildlife Rangers can come in, use live traps to contain the animals, and relocate them back into the wild. While pest control companies tend only to provide removal services, we offer something known as “wildlife exclusion.”
Wildlife exclusion includes more than simply removing the animal from your home. After we trap and relocate the wildlife, we will take measures to prevent animals from entering your home again in the future. For example, wildlife exclusion involves sealing entry points, getting rid of attractants, and modifying the habitat to ensure animals stay away.
What is Wildlife Exclusion?
Wildlife exclusion involves removing animals from the home, sealing up entry points, and habitat modification. This type of wildlife removal service encompasses more support than a typical pest control company provides.
Wildlife exclusion services include:
- Animal Removal– We will trap, remove, and relocate animals from your home. Whether you are dealing with insects, reptiles, mammals, or rodents like rats and mice, we can ensure the wildlife is removed from your home without harming the local ecosystem.
- Sealing Entry Points- Animals enter your home from existing entry points like cracks in walls, foundations, chimneys, and vents or holes they create to come inside. During wildlife exclusion, we seal off these entry points to prevent other animals from coming into your house.
- Habitat Modification- Animals are attracted to your home because they are in search of food, water, and shelter. During one of these services, we will remove any food and water sources while making areas where animals might shelter less attractive to them.
- Cleaning and Repairing Damage- Animals might leave behind droppings and urine, which can be a biohazard. Additionally, they might damage things like walls, insulation, and electrical wiring. During animal exclusion, we offer cleanup and damage repair.
As you can see, wildlife exclusion is the more efficient approach to pest control. This method prevents future infestations from occurring, which means you won’t have to worry about becoming best friends with a pest control company.
What is the Cost of Wildlife Exclusion?
The cost of wildlife exclusion can vary depending on the type and size of the infestation you are dealing with. You also have to cover the costs of sealing entry points, repairing damage caused by the animals, and more.
Some of the factors that play a role in the cost of wildlife exclusion include:
Type of Animal
The type of animal you are dealing with can play a role in the cost of exclusion.
For example, insects like termites, bees, ants, or roaches can multiply rather quickly. They are also harder to locate than a single raccoon or a family of squirrels. Additionally, animals like rattlesnakes might cost more to remove because there is a level of danger associated with removing them.
Size of Infestation
The cost of animal exclusion can depend on the size of the infestation you are dealing with. If you have multiple bee hives in your attic or a family of raccoons living in your crawl space, you might have a higher price to cover than if there was one animal present.
Number of Entry Points
When an animal smells a food source coming from your home, they might create an entry point to get inside. There could also be existing entry points in your walls, foundations, or chimneys that you are not aware of. The cost of exclusion can depend on how many entry points there are, especially because it takes more time to repair multiple spots.
Amount of Damage Repaired
Animals like rodents can damage walls, eat through insulation, and chew electrical wires. All of these types of damage need to be repaired. If your wildlife exclusion company is providing you with cleaning and repair, you might be looking at a higher overall cost.
Cleanup Services
When animals are living in your home, there are likely to be nesting materials, animal feces, and urine stains in the location they are living. Because droppings and urine can be a health risk, the animal exclusion company will offer cleanup services to keep you and your family safe. The more cleanup that is required, the higher the cost will be.
