CHIMNEY

If you’re looking for a way to keep animals out of your chimney, chimney caps and screens can be a great solution. These simple devices can prevent animals from falling into your chimney and nesting inside, which can save you from all kinds of headaches and potential hazards.

Chimney caps are typically made of metal and sit on top of your chimney. They have a mesh screen around the sides to allow smoke to escape while keeping animals out. They’re designed to fit snugly over the top of your chimney and can be easily installed by a professional.

PLUMBING VENTS

Plumbing vents are an essential component of any plumbing system. They allow air to flow in and out of the system, which helps prevent sewer gases from entering your home. However, these vents can also be an entry point for animals looking for shelter.

Properly excluding plumbing vents can prevent animals from seeking shelter and becoming stuck in plumbing pipes. This can help prevent costly damage to your plumbing system and your home.

Excluding plumbing vents involves covering them with a cap or screen to prevent animals from entering. The cap or screen should be made of a durable material that can withstand the elements and prevent animals from chewing through it. The cap or screen should also be installed securely to prevent it from becoming dislodged or blown off in high winds.

ROOF & FASCIA SPACES

It’s important to seal any entry points between the roof and fascia. These spaces can be an easy entry point for animals such as squirrels, raccoons, and birds.

Roof and fascia spaces are typically found where the roof meets the walls of your home. These spaces can be created by a variety of factors, including improper installation or wear and tear over time. Animals can use these spaces to gain access to your home and cause damage to your property.

Sealing entry points between the roof and fascia is an effective way to discourage animal entry. This involves sealing any gaps or holes with a durable material, such as caulking or foam insulation. The sealant should be applied tightly and evenly to prevent animals from being able to chew through it.

ROOF VENTS

By replacing lightweight, flimsy roof vents with heavy, secure ones, you can prevent animals from entering your attic and causing damage to your roof. This can help you avoid costly repairs and protect your home from potential health hazards associated with animal infestations.

Replacing lightweight, flimsy roof vents with heavy, secure roof vents is an effective way to prevent animal entry and protect your home’s roof. Heavy roof vents are made of durable materials, such as metal or heavy-duty plastic, that can withstand harsh weather conditions and prevent animals from breaking through.

OVEN & BATHROOM EXHAUST VENTS

Oven and bathroom exhaust vents are essential for removing heat, moisture, and odors from your home. However, these vents can also be an entry point for animals such as birds, rodents, and insects.

Adding vent covers to your oven and bathroom exhaust vents is an effective way to keep animals out and prevent them from entering your home. Vent covers are typically made of durable materials such as metal or plastic and can be easily installed over the vent openings.

Vent covers should be designed to fit the specific size and shape of your vent openings to ensure a tight and secure fit. They should also be made of materials that can withstand exposure to the elements and prevent animals from chewing through them.

ROOF/SOFFIT INTERSECTION

The roof/soffit intersection is a common entry point for animals such as squirrels, raccoons, and birds. This area is where the roof meets the overhanging eaves, or soffits, of your home. Gaps and openings between the roof and soffit can provide an easy access point for animals to enter your attic or crawlspace.

Sealing the roof/soffit intersection is an effective way to prevent animal entry and protect your home. This involves filling any gaps or openings between the roof and soffit with a durable material, such as caulking or foam insulation. The sealant should be applied tightly and evenly to prevent animals from being able to chew through it.

HOLES IN SIDING

Holes in siding can provide an easy entry point for animals such as rodents, birds, and insects to enter your home. These holes can occur due to weather damage, aging, or animal activity. Repairing and reinforcing holes in siding is an effective way to prevent animal infestations and protect your home.

If you’re unsure whether your siding has any holes or damage, it’s important to have a professional inspect your home. They can identify any areas that need to be repaired and recommend the best course of action to prevent animal infestations. With proper repairs and reinforcement, you can protect your home and your family from unwanted animal intruders.

PORCH & DECK

Porches and decks are popular areas for animals such as rats, squirrels, and raccoons to hide, nest, and enter your home. Installing durable rat walls around the base of your porch or deck is an effective way to prevent animal entry and protect your home.

Rat walls are barriers made of durable materials such as concrete, metal, or wire mesh that are installed around the perimeter of your porch or deck. They should extend at least 2 feet below ground level to prevent animals from digging underneath them.

If you’re unsure whether your porch or deck is properly secured, it’s important to have a professional inspect your home. They can identify any areas that need to be reinforced and recommend the best type of rat wall for your specific needs. With proper installation of rat walls, you can protect your home and your family from unwanted animal intruders.

TREES & LANDSCAPING

Trees and landscaping can provide a natural habitat for animals such as squirrels, birds, and raccoons, and can also serve as a pathway for animal entry into your home. Removing overhanging tree limbs and encroaching vegetation is an effective way to deny easy access to your home and prevent animal intrusions.

Overhanging tree limbs should be trimmed to ensure they are at least 6-8 feet away from your roofline, walls, and any other access points to your home. This will prevent animals from using the limbs to gain entry to your home or accessing your roof.

Encroaching vegetation, such as shrubs or vines, should be trimmed away from your home’s exterior walls and foundation. This will prevent animals from using the vegetation as a pathway to climb onto your home and access your attic or crawlspace.

Regularly maintaining your trees and landscaping can help prevent animal intrusions and protect your home. It’s also important to remove any dead or decaying trees or branches, as these can attract insects and other animals to your property.
