Home Rodent and Wildlife Exclusion

Serving Long Island | Nassau County | Suffolk County

Rodents and wildlife pose ongoing challenges for homeowners everywhere. Beyond the health risks and potential damage they bring, these unwanted visitors can be tough to evict once they settle in. Thatโ€™s why rodent and wildlife exclusion is such an essential approach in pest management. By proactively blocking entry points, you reduce the chance of infestations before they begin โ€” saving significant hassle and expense.

At Arrow Exterminating, we deploy advanced exclusion techniques, including our proprietary Flexi Armour system, to create effective barriers that keep pests out. Read on to discover how our exclusion services protect your home from unwanted wildlife and rodents.

Understanding Pest Exclusion

In essence, pest exclusion involves identifying and sealing any openings or vulnerabilities in your homeโ€™s structure that pests might exploit. While trapping or removing individual animals offers temporary relief, it doesnโ€™t solve the root problem if access routes remain open.

Hereโ€™s a breakdown of how the Arrow Exterminating team approaches exclusion:

  • Assessment.ย We conduct a comprehensive, no-cost inspection to find potential entry points.
  • Customized Planning.ย Based on the inspection, we develop a tailored exclusion plan suited to your propertyโ€™s specific needs.
  • Pest Removal. We begin by humanely extracting any existing wildlife from your premises.
  • Barrier Installation.ย Finally, we reinforce your home with durable materials like Flexi Armour to prevent wildlife and rodents from returning.

Trust Flexi Armour for Pest and Wildlife Exclusion and Total Home Protection

The goal of pest and wildlife exclusion isnโ€™t just to solve a problem for now โ€” itโ€™s to solve it for good. Here in Long Island, weโ€™ve seen what works and what doesnโ€™t. That is why we confidently use Flexi Armour. Itโ€™s an engineered solution that provides a truly permanent barrier, ensuring your home is protected from pests without requiring future intervention.

What Is Flexi Armour?

Flexi Armour is a knitted stainless steel mesh construction, which provides the flexibility needed to create the ideal custom seal in any gap or crevice. At the same time, its stainless steel composition offers a level of strength that pests simply cannot defeat. Weโ€™ve seen rodents chew through wood, plastic, and even softer metals. They cannot get through this.

Benefits of Using the Flexi Armour System:

A rodentโ€™s teeth can exert incredible pressure, but the hardness of stainless steel is beyond their physical capabilities. This isn’t just a deterrent; it’s an impenetrable material from a pest’s standpoint.

Weather and temperature resistance

In our climate, materials are constantly tested by moisture and temperature changes. Flexi Armour is corrosion-resistant and stable, meaning the seal we create today will not degrade or fail due to sun, rain, or ice.

How Does Flexi Armour Work?

It starts with a comprehensive inspection where our trained technicians evaluate your space, examining your home for every conceivable entry point โ€” some just the size of a dime. We identify and map these vulnerabilities.

The installation itself is a precise craft. We use Flexi Armour to create a permanent, custom-fitted seal over every opening. Because the material is so durable and is installed correctly, we can ensure that once a vulnerability is sealed, it stays sealed. This systematic approach is how you achieve long-term control and the true peace of mind that comes from knowing your home is secure.

Arrow Exterminatingโ€™s Comprehensive Exclusion Services

Many homeowners are surprised at the number of tiny gaps and vulnerabilities their homes haveโ€”some barely larger than a pencil tipโ€”that rodents can exploit. Addressing these entryways is a straightforward, cost-effective way to keep nuisance animals outside. Some of the exclusion solutions we offer include:

  • Installing door sweeps to block gaps under exterior doors.
  • Applying weather stripping to seal window and door edges.
  • Filling cracks and holes with high-grade sealants.
  • Adding protective covers to exterior vents.
  • Screening weep holes in window frames to prevent entry.
  • Installing caps on accessible plumbing pipes.
  • Placing chimney caps to block animal access.

Advantages of Rodent and Wildlife Exclusion

Exclusion is one of the most effective long-term strategies for keeping pests away from your home. The benefits include:

  • Complete prevention by closing off all potential rodent and wildlife entry points.
  • An environmentally responsible method that minimizes reliance on pesticides.
  • Use of resilient materials that provide lasting protection.
  • Solutions designed to withstand the effects of adverse weather.
  • Protection against a wide variety of pest species simultaneously.

Detecting Rodent Infestations Early

Rodents reproduce rapidly and can quickly multiply if left unchecked, so early detection is critical. Spotting one mouse or rat often indicates a larger infestation hiding out of view.

Common warning signs include:

  • Droppings.ย Clear evidence of rodent activity in your home.
  • Chew marks. Rodents gnaw relentlessly to keep their teeth trimmed, damaging everything from wires to wood.
  • Nests.ย Collections of shredded materials like cloth and paper in hidden areas such as attics or closets.
  • Noises.ย Scratching or scampering sounds, especially at night when rodents are most active.
  • Sightings.ย Seeing a rodent should raise immediate concern, as there are likely more nearby.
