Dealing with rodents and wildlife is a common challenge for homeowners everywhere. These animals can carry diseases and cause significant damage to your property, making their presence unwelcome. Even worse, once they settle in, getting rid of them can be quite difficult. This is where wildlife and rodent exclusion becomes an invaluable approach: by blocking pests from entering your living space initially, you reduce hassle and protect your home effectively.
At Bug Out, we implement several advanced methods to safeguard your home against these intruders, including the innovative Flexi Armour system. Keep reading to discover how our exclusion process works!
Understanding Pest Exclusion
Simply put, pest exclusion involves closing off openings, cracks, and holes in your homeโs exterior to stop pests from gaining entry. While trapping and relocating animals can offer temporary relief, it wonโt resolve the problem if entry points remain accessible.
Hereโs an overview of how Bug Out handles pest exclusion:
- Inspection:ย We begin with a complimentary assessment to locate potential weak spots.
- Customized Planning:ย Based on our findings, we develop a tailored strategy for your home.
- Removal:ย We then humanely remove any wildlife present on your property.
- Exclusion Installation:ย Finally, we secure your homeโs perimeter using materials like Flexi Armour to prevent re-entry.

Advantages of Rodent and Wildlife Exclusion
Choosing exclusion as your pest control method offers several key benefits:
- Effectively blocks rodents and wildlife from gaining access.
- An environmentally friendly alternative that minimizes chemical use.
- Uses tough, long-lasting materials.
- Resistant to extreme weather conditions.
- Provides protection against a variety of pests simultaneously.
How to Recognize a Rodent Problem
Rodents are prolific breeders and can become a significant nuisance quickly. Early detection is critical because spotting one rodent might mean there are many more hidden nearby. Watch for these common indicators of infestation:
- Droppings:ย Clear evidence of rodent presence.
- Gnaw Marks:ย Rodents continually chew to keep their teeth trimmed, damaging materials like paper, plastics, drywall, and wiring.
- Nests:ย Look for collections of soft debris like shredded paper, cloth, or cardboard hidden in quiet, undisturbed areas such as attics or closets.
- Scratching Sounds:ย Although rodents avoid being seen, you may hear scratching inside walls or ceilings, especially during nighttime.
- Visual Encounters:ย Seeing one rodent often signals a larger population nearby.
