Once you have successfully removed wildlife from your home, the next critical step is ensuring that they do not return. Whether it is bats, squirrels, raccoons, or other creatures, sealing entry points is essential for long-term protection. Leaving your home unsealed after wildlife removal can lead to recurring infestations, structural damage, and increased health risks. At Critter One, we offer expert home sealing services to help safeguard your home from future wildlife invasions and ensure a secure, safe environment for your family.
How Critter One’s Home Sealing Services Can Protect Your Property
Critter One’s comprehensive home sealing services are designed to prevent animals from re-entering your home. We focus on key areas where wildlife typically gains access to ensure that every potential entry point is sealed. Here is a breakdown of the areas we inspect and seal:
- Attic and Roof Spaces: Gaps in the roof, vents, and attic openings are common entry points for bats, squirrels, and other wildlife. We thoroughly inspect and seal these areas to prevent access.
- Chimneys and Vents: Chimneys and vents can easily become access points for raccoons, birds, and other animals. We seal these openings properly to prevent wildlife from finding their way back into your home.
- Windows and Doors: Small animals like mice and rats can squeeze through even the tiniest gaps around windows and doors. We check for any gaps and ensure that they are properly sealed to keep these pests outside.
- Basement and Crawl Spaces: Foundation cracks and holes in crawl spaces are often overlooked, but they can provide a direct path for rodents and other animals to enter your home. We inspect these areas and seal any cracks or holes that could be potential entry points.
The Dangers of Leaving Entry Points Unsealed
Failing to seal entry points after wildlife removal can lead to numerous problems. Here is how unsealed openings can harm your home:
- Allow Wildlife to Re-enter: Unsealed entry points provide a clear path for wildlife to return, putting your home at risk for repeat infestations. Animals like bats and raccoons are persistent and will look for ways to return if they can.
- Lead to Further Damage: Gaps and holes in your home expose it to a variety of other threats, including rodents, weather, and structural wear. These openings can allow water to enter, leading to mold, rot, and other long-term damage that could be costly to repair.
- Increase Health Risks: Openings in your home provide an entry point for bacteria, parasites, and diseases. Wildlife, especially bats and raccoons, can carry harmful pathogens that pose serious health risks to humans and pets. Sealing entry points is one of the best ways to minimize these health risks.
- Attract Additional Pests: Unsealed areas in your home can also attract other unwanted pests like insects, rodents, and even larger animals. These pests can exacerbate the problem, leading to more damage and health concerns over time.
Why Professional Home Sealing is Essential
While DIY sealing may seem like a good option, it is important to understand the complexity of properly sealing your home. Wildlife is often more resourceful than we give them credit for, and they can find hidden entry points that may be missed by an untrained eye. Professional home sealing services, like those provided by Critter One, ensure that every potential access point is thoroughly inspected and sealed using high-quality materials. Our experts have the knowledge and tools to effectively seal your home, providing long-term protection against wildlife and pests.
