What is Exclusion?
Exclusion techniques seal off openings and possible entry points to prevent pests from entering a home, business, or other structure. Installing caps, screens, and sealants like foam or silicone caulk are all options for exclusion. Likewise, Ideal Pest’s three exclusion systems provide a permanent barrier to protect specific zones of buildings.
Rodent Exclusion
Rodent control begins with removing rodents, fecal matter, and debris left behind by the critter(s). Then, the contaminated space is sanitized. Exclusion is the step necessary to prevent these pests from returning. Rodents can squeeze into tiny openings as small as the width of a dime or quarter.
Rodent exclusion seals off or adds physical barriers to ensure rodents are unable to get inside treated areas.
