First, what is “wildlife exclusion?” This is a strategy in which you close off potential entry points into your Orlando home to prevent rats, squirrels, possums, raccoons, bats and more from getting inside. Said another way, exclusion is a wild life prevention strategy. Once animals get inside—seeking food, water, shelter, and a place to reproduce—they need to be removed rather than excluded.
It’s possible to need a combination of removal and exclusion services. When there are already critters inside the home, you’ll first need professional wildlife removal in Orlando, FL—and our trained technicians can help—and then you focus on fortifying your home to keep them out.
So, what are the benefits of wildlife exclusion? One way to look at it: consider the problems that wild animals can cause when they get into your house—and wild life prevention eliminates those concerns.
Challenges faced will vary by species. Looking first at the raccoon, they can seriously damage attics and roofs. On the roof, they tear up shingles and soffits, and can break attic vents. Inside the home, they gnaw through insulation to build nests and otherwise wreak havoc in the space.
Here’s a second problem with raccoons: they can carry and transmit dangerous diseases. They are, in fact, one of the most common carriers of rabies, a disease that they can spread through their scratches and bites. Infected animals also spread other viruses along with bacteria and parasites. This can happen directly—or indirectly through their waste. So, when trapping raccoons, you won’t know what diseases they’re carrying (although, with rabies, the animal may appear quite ill). Plus, when cornered, raccoons can get aggressive.
Squirrels, meanwhile, can chew on siding, insulation, cables, and wires with the last situation having the potential to start a fire. This animal can also carry unwanted diseases: ringworm, tularemia, typhus, the plague, and more. If trapping squirrels, the same caution applies as with raccoons. You don’t know what diseases they may be carrying. So, it makes sense to contact us and request the professional services of our trained squirrel trappers.
As a third example, when bats get into your home, they can carry and transmit rabies as well as histoplasmosis. The latter disease can be spread to people when they breathe in spores from the droppings and urine of infected bats. These feces and urine can leak through drywall, damage ceilings, and destroy insulation.
Bats can bring along additional pests: bat mites, bat bugs, and fleas. They aren’t the only wildlife species that can add to the pest problem in your home, either.
