Nothing is more disturbing than discovering that our home or place of business has been broken into. It destroys our sense of security, leaves us feeling violated and vulnerable, and the anxiety and uneasiness often linger long after the event. To ward against invasion, we go to great extremes to protect ourselves, installing expensive locks and alarms and engaging the help of professional security services to ensure our safety and preserve our well-being. But the truth is, a lock or alarm system won't stop some home invasions. Unwanted visitors are finding their way into our homes and offices every day, and we aren't talking about thieves or a loathsome relative dropping by unannounced. We're talking about nuisance animals.
Wildlife Invasion Happens
Nuisance wildlife, from rodents, coyotes, squirrels, and bats, to raccoons and more, are perpetually attracted to human dwellings, seeking the same necessities we want, food, water, warmth, and shelter. They are more than willing to take up residence alongside us, repulsing and frightening us, damaging and destroying our property, and jeopardizing our health by exposing us to the infectious viruses, bacteria, and parasites they carry.
No matter how solidly built your home or place of business is, these creatures get in. Just a small crack, a tiny hole, a loose bit of siding, material that can be chewed through, an exposed pipe, or a similar point of vulnerability, and before you know it, you have an unpleasant infestation to deal with. A mouse can fit through a hole as small as a dime, and a rat the size of a quarter. Snakes as long as six feet are slithering their way into homes through the toilet, and bats will squeeze through a gap just 3/8" wide.
A Solution We Can Rely On: Exclusion
We could easily go on and on about these scenarios like a bad horror flick, but let's skip the part where the chainsaw comes out and jump straight to the happy ending. There is a viable solution that can stop infestations. It's called exclusion. Wildlife control experts have learned that the best way to deal with invasions is to prevent access, which is at the heart of exclusion. Exclusion is a modern-day technique developed by professionals that systematically identifies and seals up potential access points to your home or business, removes attractants, and inhibits the animal's ability and desire to get in. It can be applied to specific, targeted areas or entire buildings and homes and is an effective, reliable, and efficient pest control method.
Protecting your home or business is essential, and exclusion is an incredibly smart and affordable investment that can give you invaluable peace of mind. There's no need to wait until you are already dealing with a problem; exclusion can be employed anytime, even during a new home's construction.
