Complete Home Protection

We offer home services and preventative maintenance that protect your entire property, starting at the foundation and reaching all the way to the roof. Hereโ€™s what we provide:

Rodent Exclusion

We donโ€™t just remove rodents, we prevent them from coming back. Through precise trapping and exclusion, we protect your home from rats, mice, and other unwanted intruders.

Moisture Control

Excess moisture can compromise your homeโ€™s structure and invite pests. Our crawl space solutions manage humidity and help safeguard against long-term damage.

Gutter Protection

Gutters that clog can become breeding grounds for pests. Our system keeps them flowing freely while reducing the risk of infestations and water damage.

Wildlife Exclusion

Once wildlife is removed, we take extra steps to seal off access points using proven methods, making sure animals stay out for good.

From Pest Control to Total Home Care

Since 1963, Bug Out has been a trusted name in the community, known for dependable service and proven results. Our experience has shown that the best way to protect your home is by stopping pest problems before they begin. That belief inspired us to grow beyond traditional pest control, offering comprehensive home care solutions that support both your comfort and your homeโ€™s structure.

Designed to perform as effectively as conventional insulation, our cellulose option also helps reduce sound, improve energy efficiency, and close ceiling cracks. Its biggest advantage? It keeps pests out.

Formulated with pest-resistant components, our insulation stops insects and rodents at the source. Itโ€™s a smart, protective barrier that adds another level of security. Hereโ€™s what makes attic insulation an important part of home protection:

  • Energy Savings: Improves your home’s overall energy efficiency, helping you maintain a consistent, comfortable indoor temperature throughout the seasons.
  • Pest Management: Effectively targets common household pests. The insulation contains a borate additive that eliminates insects on contact, stopping infestations before they can spread.
  • Eco-Responsible: Constructed with a minimum of 85% recycled newspaper, this insulation is a long-lasting, sustainable choice for environmentally conscious homeowners.
  • Sound Absorbing: Helps block outside noise and reduces sound transfer between rooms, creating a quieter and more peaceful indoor environment.
  • Lifetime Guarantee: Comes with a Limited Lifetime Warranty from the manufacturer, offering reliable, long-term protection you can count on.

Moisture from the soil evaporates and settles as condensation on the materials beneath your home, which if ignored, can lead to structural damage, poor air quality, and increased pest problems.

Our moisture control options, featuring encapsulation, ventilation, and vapor barriers, help manage humidity and keep your crawl space dry. Hereโ€™s how these solutions defend your home:

  • Eliminates Mold and Mildew: Reduces health hazards and improves the quality of the air inside your home.
  • Prevents Structural Damage: Stops decay and foundation issues that can lead to expensive repairs.
  • Deters Pests: Keeps moisture-loving pests like termites, ants, and rodents away from your property.
  • Protects Stored Items: Prevents moisture-related damage to your valuables and stored belongings.
  • Increases Home Value: A dry, well-maintained crawl space enhances your homeโ€™s market appeal.

Even the smallest holes, cracks, and gaps can be entry points for rodents and wildlife. Once inside, they may damage your roof, walls, insulation, wiring, and more. Their droppings and urine carry harmful pathogens, and their gnawing can compromise your home’s structural integrity.


Protect your home from costly damage by relying on expert rodent and wildlife exclusion services. Wondering how exclusion works? Here are the main advantages:

  • Thorough Inspection: We evaluate the entire scope of the issue and craft a customized plan tailored to your home’s needs.
  • Secure the Exterior: Using Flexi Amour and other eco-friendly materials, we seal entry points to keep rodents, wildlife, and pests out for good.
  • Habitat Modification: We remove environmental conditions that attract rodents, lowering the likelihood of them entering your home.
  • Ongoing Support: If pests come back, we’ll provide additional treatments at no cost, no excuses, just a commitment to protect your home like it’s our own.

Gutters are essential for protecting your home from rainwater damage by directing water away from the roof and foundation. Our gutter protection system promotes efficient water flow and requires less maintenance than standard gutters.

By minimizing areas with standing water and debris, you help keep pests such as rodents, ants, mosquitoes, and cockroaches away from your gutters and home, safeguarding your property and improving your familyโ€™s health.

Why invest in gutter protection for your home?

  • Tailored to your property: We design a gutter protection system that fits your homeโ€™s specific layout and challenges.
  • Keeps water flowing safely: Directs rainwater away from your foundation to help avoid damage and improve performance over open gutters.
  • Blocks clogs and pests: Our sealed end caps help stop buildup while keeping out rodents and other unwanted guests.
  • Reduces overflow risks: Fewer leaves and less debris mean less overflow, stagnant water, and pest-attracting moisture near your home.
