Wildlife may belong in nature, but when animals invade homes and businesses, they cause costly damage and create unsafe living conditions. Many species—including raccoons, squirrels, bats, and rodents—are highly adaptable and persistent, finding ways to exploit weaknesses in a structure to gain access. If an animal has entered your property once, it is likely to return unless the access points are identified and sealed. At Star City Pest Control, our wildlife exclusion services provide a long-term solution to keep nuisance animals from re-entering, protecting your home or business from recurring infestations.
Exclusion is a proactive defense that stops wildlife from accessing your property before they become a problem. Unlike reactive solutions that focus only on removing animals, exclusion prevents them from getting inside in the first place. Our team specializes in sealing entry points, reinforcing vulnerable areas, and installing protective barriers that ensure wildlife stays outside where it belongs. By addressing the root cause of infestations, we provide lasting protection and peace of mind for property owners.
How Wildlife Entry Becomes A Bigger Problem
Once an animal finds a way inside, it often returns to the same location repeatedly, either to nest, find shelter, or search for food. Many species are incredibly persistent and will claw, chew, or squeeze their way back into spaces they have used before. Small gaps in roofing, vents, siding, chimneys, or foundations serve as easy access points, and without proper exclusion measures, wildlife will continue to exploit these openings.
Beyond simply re-entering, animals that gain access to buildings often create structural problems. Squirrels and raccoons tear through insulation and chew on wiring, creating fire hazards and energy inefficiencies. Bats and rodents leave behind waste that can harbor harmful bacteria, leading to contamination and foul odors. Left unaddressed, a single entry point can lead to widespread damage and repeated infestations, costing homeowners and businesses thousands in repairs.
Our exclusion process at Star City Pest Control stops this cycle by securing all potential entry points. By reinforcing weak spots and sealing openings, we prevent wildlife from accessing your attic, crawl spaces, or other vulnerable areas. This not only protects your property but also eliminates the need for constant wildlife removal.
Our Proven Wildlife Exclusion Process
At Star City Pest Control, we don’t just remove animals—we make sure they can’t come back. Our wildlife exclusion process begins with a comprehensive inspection to identify every potential access point on your property. Animals often find entry through damaged vents, loose siding, gaps in roofing, or holes near the foundation. Our trained experts assess these vulnerabilities and develop a customized exclusion plan tailored to your home or business.
Once problem areas are identified, we implement exclusion strategies using high-quality materials designed to withstand animal attempts to regain entry. This may include installing heavy-duty vent covers, sealing cracks with industrial-grade materials, reinforcing roof edges with steel flashing, or placing one-way doors that allow wildlife to leave but not return. Every solution is tailored to the type of animal causing the problem, ensuring the most effective and humane approach.
Unlike temporary fixes or DIY methods, our exclusion services are designed for long-term effectiveness. Many nuisance animals will repeatedly attempt to return to a nesting site, but our reinforced barriers ensure they are permanently kept out. Additionally, we provide recommendations for habitat modifications, such as trimming tree branches that provide easy roof access, securing food sources like garbage bins, and addressing other environmental factors that may attract wildlife.
Protecting Your Property In The Future
Effective wildlife exclusion does more than solve an immediate problem—it protects your home or business from future infestations. A single unsealed entry point can allow multiple animals to invade over time, leading to repeated damages, ongoing cleanup, and escalating costs. Without proper exclusion, the problem is never truly resolved.
For homeowners, a wildlife intrusion can mean sleepless nights, property damage, and concerns about health risks. Scratching sounds in the attic, droppings in the basement, or unexpected encounters in your yard can disrupt your daily life. For business owners, wildlife infestations can jeopardize safety regulations, harm reputations, and create liabilities for employees and customers. Investing in exclusion services eliminates these risks and provides long-term security for your property.
At Star City Pest Control, we take a strategic approach to wildlife exclusion. Instead of simply reacting to each infestation, we implement preventive measures that ensure your property remains secure year-round. Our exclusion services are built to last, offering a reliable and effective solution that protects against repeated wildlife problems.

Frequently Asked Questions About Wildlife Exclusion
Q1. How is wildlife exclusion different from wildlife removal?
A1. Wildlife removal focuses on addressing an immediate problem by safely relocating animals that have entered your home or business. While removal is necessary to eliminate an active infestation, it doesn’t stop new animals from coming back. Wildlife exclusion, on the other hand, is a long-term solution that prevents animals from re-entering by sealing entry points, reinforcing vulnerable areas, and installing barriers. At Star City Pest Control, we don’t just remove unwanted animals—we ensure they can’t return, giving you lasting protection from future infestations.
Q2. What types of animals can be kept out with exclusion services?
A2. Wildlife exclusion is highly effective for a variety of animals, including raccoons, squirrels, bats, rodents, opossums, and birds. Each species has its own behaviors and preferred entry points, so exclusion methods must be tailored accordingly. For example, bats often enter through roof gaps and vents, while squirrels chew through weak areas in siding and fascia boards. At Star City Pest Control, we design custom exclusion plans based on the specific wildlife issues affecting your property, ensuring that every potential entry point is secured.
Q3. Will wildlife exclusion affect the look or function of my home or business?
A3. No—our exclusion techniques are designed to be both effective and discreet. We use high-quality materials that blend seamlessly with your home’s exterior, reinforcing entry points without altering its appearance. Vent covers, metal flashing, and sealing materials are carefully installed to maintain both function and aesthetics. In fact, exclusion often improves a building’s integrity by preventing structural damage caused by wildlife activity. Star City Pest Control ensures that your property is protected without compromising its visual appeal or functionality.
