Seal out bugs and rodents at every point of entry
Pest exclusion is the process of sealing cracks, holes, and gaps in a home’s eaves, easement, roof, around windows, and any other point of entry to prevent bug and rodent infestations. Commercial properties, stores, and restaurants also benefit from professional pest exclusion sealing to prevent termites, cockroaches, rats, ants, and other pests from entering. Any gaps around windows are sealed, and rubber seals under the garage door and entry doors are inspected and if needed, replaced.
Our professional pest management technicians thoroughly scour every inch of the exterior to find and seal crevices, blocking bugs and critters to prevent infestations. Once the property or home sealing is complete, we’ll monitor activity to ensure the exclusion is effective there are no breaches. Then all you have to do is enjoy your Life After Bugs.
What does pest exclusion cost?
Every home is different, so the cost of exclusion work depends on a handful of factors. The big one is how many entry points there are. A home with multiple roof pitches and triangular structures above the windows has far more gaps to inspect and seal than a one-story ranch-style home, and that drives the work up or down.
Access matters too. Sealing around exterior high-rise windows or hard-to-reach rooflines requires specialized equipment and safety gear, which adds to the job. The type of construction, the materials needed, and how widespread the activity is all factor in. The honest answer is that we cannot quote exclusion sight unseen, so we walk the property, find the gaps, and give you a clear price for your specific home.

How do technicians pest proof homes & buildings?
The pest exclusion process to bug proof or rodent proof a facility or home involves four steps.
Step 1
Pests are exterminated or trapped and removed
If you have a rodent infestation or other furry friends they are trapped and removed before any sealing ensues.
Step 2
Technician inspects exterior, roof, windows, etc. for gaps and pathways
Pest control technicians inspect every inch of a home's exterior, noting any holes, cracks, gaps, or seal breaches.
Step 3
Holes, cracks, crevices area sealed and pathways eliminated
Window frames are checked for gaps and filled with silicone, acrylic, or rubber caulk sealant as needed.
Step 4
Pest activity monitored to ensure effective pest prevention
Once the home sealing is complete, we'll monitor activity to ensure the exclusion is effective and there are no breaches.
Licensed pest control technicians have unique expertise allowing them to pinpoint the most common entry points quickly but also the sneaky ones specific to each critter. If you have a rodent infestation or other furry friends they are trapped and removed before any sealing ensues. Then pest control technicians inspect every inch of a home’s exterior, noting any holes, cracks, gaps, or seal breaches. Window frames are checked for gaps and filled with silicone, acrylic, or rubber caulk sealant as needed.
Any tree branches, plants, or other outdoor items creating a critter highway to and from you home are noted so technicians can move or trim as needed. Garage door seals are checked and replaced if cracked or broken. Eaves and overhangs are checked for signs of separation and filled if present.
