Wildlife Damage Repairs

Critter Control of Seattle employs professional technicians that have experience and are knowledgable about repairing damages. For example, raccoons are strong animals that can tear through almost any building materials, and are persistent pests that are able to tear up an entire yard in a short amount of time. Whatever, wherever, your critter issue, we've got a solution. 206.431.6833

Eaves

On homes or other buildings, eaves are one of the most common places for birds to roost or for any animal to take shelter. Eventually, the animals will make their way inside. If the eaves are not blocked off it can cause trouble if the critter makes it into your home.  Our inspectors will take the time to analyze your home or building to ensure areas like this do not become problems.  206.431.6833

Bird Netting Work

To the left is an example of our repairs in a home entrance performed by our technicians, to prevent birds or other critters from nesting or perching. Birds perching outside of buildings will make a mess of droppings and feathers. Acids contained in bird droppings will erode the paint off of buildings, creating even more damage. Many birds are also capable of destroying entire fields of crops or vegetation. 206.431.6833

Soffit Gap Repair with Deco mesh

Rodents will pull insulation and chew electrical wires creating extensive damages and quite the electrical fire hazard. Flushing the soffit gap to prevent rodent entry is something that is recommended. Critter Control of Seattle technicians will repair damage caused by wildlife, including soffit gap repair, to prevent rodent entry and damages the rats, mice, and squirrels can create. The deco mesh does come in 3 different colors, which will make it easy for you to choose a color that will match your home. 206.431.6833

Foundation Vents

Foundation vents are a very common entry point for wildlife animals. When a foundation vent is compromised it can lead to opossums, rats, skunks, raccoons and more animals to start nesting in your crawlspace. This can cause damaged and soiled insulation, as well as damaged pipes or wiring. Some of these animals are known for chewing relentlessly. That's why sealing off foundation vents can prevent critters from entering your home.  206.431.6833

Caulking/Foaming

Caulking/Foaming areas with gaps can prevent critters from getting through them. Mice can climb, but they also can fit through small gaps/holes. Bats are known to fit through 1/8th of inch gaps, this means that although a slight gap that looks like nothing, could potentially be an access point for an animal. 206.431.6833

Fascia Gap

Entry points blocked, and fascia has been reinforced with L-flashing. When critters gain access to your attic or crawlspace through your fascia, it will cause you hundreds of dollars worth of damage to your fascia, and damage your gutter system. Squirrels, rats, mice, bats, and even an occasional raccoon may find it's way into your home to nest through these areas. 206.431.6833

Roof Vent Guard

Roof vent guards need reinforcement to keep birds and other pesky critters from gaining access to your home. Birds such as starlings are known to nest inside these vents and lay their eggs. which causes a huge mess. Birds are not the only critter that can get inside these vents. Squirrels, rats, mice, and numerous other critters can find their way into your home without the proper preventative measures. 206.431.6833

Foundation Gaps

Foundation gaps are one of the most common spots for little critters such as mice and rats to gain access into your home. With keen eyes, our inspectors will find each gap that can pose a potential problem, or that is being used as an entry/access point. 206.431.6833

Prevention

Preventing animals from entering your home is a lot easier than trying to remove them. Critter Control of Seattle is a team of wildlife management experts trained to exclude and prevent wildlife threats. After a thorough inspection of your home and property, you will be provided a prevention action proposal. We will help you to identify the problem areas in the structure of your home and point out anything in or around your home that may be attracting common nuisance critters.

Habitat Modification

Habitat modification is a tool we use to make sure wildlife animals do not return to your home or property. Habitat modification may be limiting access to food, water, or shelter. By doing this the critters will see no need to come back because they do not have access anymore. 

Animal Exclusion Points:

Excluding a critter may be creating a barrier to allow exit but to prevent entry. We also install vent screens, chimney caps, gutter guards, and more. Keeping animals out for good and repairing the damage they caused is our specialty. 

• Chimney – Adding chimney caps and screening can prevent animals from falling in or nesting
• Plumbing Vents – Animals seeking shelter can become stuck in plumbing pipes
• Roof & Fascia Spaces – Poorly sealed points between roof & fascia invite animal entry
• Roof Vents – Brittle vents should be replaced with heavy secure roof vents or covered with roof vent guards
• Oven & Bathroom Exhaust Vents – Adding screening to vents helps keep animals out
• Roof/Soffit Intersection – Securing gaps will help prevent animal chewing and entry
• Holes in Siding – Repairing & reinforcing holes will discourage animal infestation
• Porch & Deck – Durable screening around base prevents nesting animals
• Trees & Landscaping – Removal of overhanging tree limbs and encroaching vegetation

Excluding wild animals from your property and homestead will also exclude potential health risks. To protect yourself and your family, call the trained professionals at Critter Control of Seattle to inspect all wildlife issues. 206.431.6833
