What Does “Animal Proofing” Include?

Animal proofing (also called wildlife exclusion) focuses on sealing every gap, opening, or weak spot in the structure so animals can’t get inside. This often includes:

• Sealing roofline gaps and soffit returns
• Installing wildlife-proof vents or vent covers over attic vents
• Reinforcing soffits and fascia
• Repairing chew damage
• Installing chimney caps
• Sealing crawlspace vents and foundation gaps
• Closing gaps around plumbing and utility lines
• Installing wildlife barriers around decks, sheds, and additions

At Skunk Bait Wildlife & Pest Control, we design a custom exclusion plan based on your home’s vulnerabilities and the species causing the problem—whether it’s squirrels, skunks, raccoons, mice, rats, birds, or bats.
