Continued Atlanta Wildlife Control: Animal Exclusion

Removal is only the first step in Atlanta wildlife control. For on-going protection against intruding wildlife, you need a thorough approach to wildlife exclusion. All too often, a homeowner or Atlanta wildlife removal service will handle only the immediate problem of removing the problem animal without addressing the larger problem. A better and more cost-effective solution is to prevent animals from entering in the first place.

There are several common entry points that must be taken into consideration in a comprehensive wildlife-proofing plan. By systematically addressing each point, you can keep animals and avoid the stressful ordeal of wildlife removal in Atlanta.

  • Stove and Bathroom Exhaust Vents
    If unsecured, these make ideal nesting sites for birds and sometimes squirrels. This results in noticeable sounds, odors and insects.
  • Roof Vents
    Constructed of lightweight aluminum or plastic, they are no obstacle for animals seeking entry into attics.
  • Roof - Soffit Intersection
    If left unscreened, they can easily be manipulated by an animal from the outside in order to establish a den site inside the attic space.
  • Roof and Fascia Spaces
    If not properly constructed, or due to deterioration, they offer an opportunity for wildlife to chew on the free edge of the wood and gain entry into the attic.
  • Chimney
    If not screened properly, they make suitable living quarters for raccoons and squirrels. Birds often fall into open chimneys and become stuck at the bottom. Sometimes these animals even enter the "living space" of the home.
  • Plumbing Vent Pipes
    If left unprotected, they are an invitation to animals seeking den sites inside the house. Once inside the pipe, animals often become stuck and obstruct the normal function of the building's plumbing system.
