Wildlife Control Supplies: Not Just Pesticides

As homeowners, we invest in locks, sensors, and security systems to keep out thieves and burglars. But wildlife can also threaten our homes and gardens. From raccoons to rodents, keeping critters out requires more than just pesticides. In this post, we explore proven wildlife control products that protect your home, improve safety, and prevent costly damage.

Cellulose Insulation

Wildlife often sneaks into nooks, crannies, and cracks. Cellulose insulation can close off these access points while also offering fire retardant protection. It’s eco-friendly, energy-efficient, and helps block rodents and insects from entering living spaces.

Hardware Cloth

Wire mesh is one of the most effective ways to keep pests out. Depending on the animal, use different gauges:

• 1/4-inch mesh for mice
• 1/2-inch mesh for rats
• 19-gauge mesh for larger rodents

These barriers can be installed around decks, crawlspaces, gardens, and vents to block entry.

Flashing

Flashing products seal gaps between roofs and chimneys, keeping raccoons, squirrels, and bats from nesting. Galvanized steel or aluminum flashing provides a durable barrier that is weather-resistant and rodent-proof.

Chimney Caps

Chimneys are an easy entry point for wildlife. Installing a chimney cap prevents birds, raccoons, and squirrels from invading your home. Many caps are designed with weather protection and spark arrestors for added safety.

Thresholds

Gaps under doors invite pests inside. Threshold seals and sweeps close off even the smallest spaces, blocking rodents, snakes, and insects while improving home energy efficiency.

Animal-Resistant Trash Cans

Wildlife loves trash. Invest in animal-resistant trash cans with reinforced lids and steel construction to keep out raccoons, bears, and rodents. These prevent food sources that attract wildlife to your property.
