Capelouto Termite & Pest Control’s Exclusion Service

When squirrels and other wildlife invade your home, they are more than an inconvenience. These pests chew through wires, eat drywall, tear insulation, and leave droppings behind.

If you experience recurring problems at your Tallahassee home with mice, gray squirrels, flying squirrels, bats, other wildlife or bugs getting into your house, a permanent (and highly recommended) solution is available from Capelouto Termite & Pest Control. Since rodents and other pests can squeeze into the tiniest of places, older home structures often have many gaps that pests find very attractive, and this is how they enter your home. Sometimes the entry points can be hard to find. This is where our experts step in.

Our expert exterminators take care of:

• Bees
• Bats
• Ants
• Rodents
• Flies
• Spiders
• Squirrels
• And more!
  

What is Pest Exclusion?

Pest exclusion is a method of identifying and sealing off entry points that pests use to gain access to buildings. It’s a proactive and environmentally friendly approach to pest management, focusing on keeping pests out of your home or business before they become a problem. 

By keeping pests out, Tallahassee property owners can avoid the costly repairs associated with the destruction caused by rodents and other wildlife, such as gnawed electrical wires, damaged insulation, and contaminated areas from droppings. Additionally, pest exclusion contributes to a healthier indoor environment by reducing the risk of diseases that pests can carry into your home or business. 

Although it’s similar to pest proofing, proofing often involves general measures to deter pests – such as keeping areas clean and reducing moisture.

Our Exclusion Program Works in Three Easy Steps

1. Our pest experts will perform a thorough inspection to identify the rodent issues at your home, and we will create a customized plan to remove them and keep them out.
2. We will begin trapping to remove the existing pests. This process involves a series of return visits to check the traps and adjust tactics as needed.
3. We will secure your home against future pest activity. These methods involve sealing, capping, and metal flashing installations on the roof and in the crawlspace. Wire mesh installation in low-lying areas and additional sealing of gaps in the foundation will be performed.

What Parts of Your Home Can We Secure Against Rodents and Wildlife?

• Attic, turbine, and gable vents
• Roof returns and plumbing vents
• Gaps between exterior walls and roofing fascia
• Dryer and oven vents
• Foundation grates and pipe openings
• Garage door openings
  

Bat Exclusion

While bats might not be the culprits behind physical damage to your property, the real concern lies in the diseases they can carry. This isn’t just about nuisance, it’s about the health and safety of everyone inside your home or business. But here’s the catch – bats are protected animals and require specialized removal. The Capelouto Termite & Pest Control team is trained in these types of sensitive animal removals, and is more than happy to help you.
