Spring is in full bloom, and animal activity typically spikes this time of year. With more critters out and about, it’s a good time to consider protecting your home or business from wildlife with effective construction sealing.
About Construction Sealing
Animals such as raccoons, squirrels and bats can cause structural damage by gnawing on wood or insulation and carry diseases that can affect humans and pets. Moreover, wildlife can create noise disturbances, leading to sleepless nights and increased stress.
Reduce the risk with preventive measures to protect your home, family, business and customers from wildlife intrusion. Construction sealing is one way to protect your property from unwanted wildlife.
Seal gaps, cracks and openings to deter animals, improve energy efficiency and reduce pest infestations. Enhance the overall integrity of your home or business with effective construction sealing.
Common Entry Points for Wildlife
Wildlife often accesses buildings through common entry points such as gaps around windows and doors, vents, attics, basements and chimneys. Identifying these vulnerable areas is the first step in wildlife prevention.
After contacting a professional wildlife removal service like Pesty Critters, an extensive inspection of accessible areas will be conducted to check for signs of wildlife activity. Our expert team will seal any entry points from the foundation to the roof.
What We Seal
We can seal various construction elements, including roof peaks and valleys, ridge vents, fascia flashing, chimneys, plumbing, HVAC units, gutters and more. Different materials are used to seal common entry points.
We fabricate and install metal flashing in the roof’s peaks and valleys, for example. We use a pestblock foam sealer to seal gaps around light fixtures, holes inside cabinets and other plumbing areas.
Another example of effective construction sealing to help prevent wildlife from entering your home is sealing any possible entry points or roosting areas around the chimney stack and installing a quarter-inch screen around the chimney hood.
Summary
Regular inspections and maintenance of these areas are essential to preventing wildlife invasions. Remember to ask us how often a routine inspection is needed after we seal your home or business. We’ll be happy to put yours on the calendar now!
