Understanding Pest Exclusion and Its Importance

In essence, pest exclusion involves fortifying your home by sealing all possible entry points, cracks, gaps, and holes to stop pests from gaining access. Simply trapping and relocating animals offers only a temporary fix; if entryways remain open, pests will inevitably return.

Here’s a breakdown of how the Arrow Environmental Services team approaches pest exclusion:

Thorough Inspection: We begin with a no-cost evaluation to pinpoint vulnerabilities.
Customized Planning: Next, we design a strategy tailored specifically to your property.
Humane Removal: We safely and ethically remove any wildlife currently residing in your home.
Reinforced Exclusion: Finally, we secure your home using Flexi Armour and other top-tier exclusion materials to prevent re-entry.

Arrow Environmental Services’s Comprehensive Wildlife and Rodent Exclusion Techniques

Many homeowners are unaware of just how many small openings can serve as entry points for pests. For instance, rats and mice can fit through surprisingly tiny spaces—often just large enough for their heads. Identifying and sealing these openings is a cost-effective and highly efficient way to keep unwanted wildlife out. Some of the exclusion measures we implement include:

Installing door sweeps to block gaps beneath doors.
Applying weather stripping to seal window and door frames.
Using sealants to close off potential entry holes.
Fitting vent covers to secure exterior air vents.
Screening weep holes in windows to prevent pest access.
Capping exposed plumbing pipes to eliminate access routes.
Adding chimney caps to deter animals from nesting or entering.

What Is Flexi Armour?

Flexi Armour is made from knitted stainless steel mesh. Simply put, it’s the perfect material for the job: flexible enough to install anywhere but tough enough to stop any pest from breaking through. Animals can bite and claw as much as they want to try to find a weak spot. They won’t. Flexi Armour is built to last and built to work, period.

Why It Works – Benefits of Flexi Armour

Stainless steel mesh construction

Rodents and wildlife are persistent, and they can chew through flimsy barriers. Flexi Armour is tougher. Its stainless steel construction isn't a temporary patch; it's a structural solution.

Unrivaled versatility

A good solution has to work everywhere it's needed. Flexi Armour can be used to seal any vulnerability — gaps around doors, cracks in the foundation, and other hard-to-reach areas.

Proven against all manner of pests

The results are clear. This solution is proven effective at stopping pests of all kinds, including mice, rats, raccoons, squirrels, opossums, and skunks.

How Does Flexi Armour Work?

We start with a plan. Our technicians conduct a comprehensive, top-to-bottom inspection of your structure to identify every single vulnerability that pests can use to get inside. We find the cracks, gaps, and holes in your walls, doors, and foundation. Then, we get to work sealing those entry points with Flexi Armour, fundamentally securing your home’s perimeter.

The material is simply too strong for any pest to compromise. Even the sharpest claws and teeth can’t get through it. That means your home stays secure through every season, year after year. This isn’t just about temporary relief; it’s about providing a lasting solution that gives you genuine peace of mind.

Re-Treat Guarantee

The Re-Treat Guarantee means that if rodents and wildlife come back, so do we – at no additional cost. No excuses, just a commitment to care for your home like it’s our own with protection you can trust.

Advantages of Implementing Rodent and Wildlife Exclusion

Using exclusion as a pest management strategy offers numerous benefits, including:

Completely blocking rodents and wildlife from entering your home.
Providing an environmentally responsible alternative that minimizes chemical use.
Utilizing materials engineered for durability and longevity.
Offering protection that stands up to extreme weather conditions.
Defending your property simultaneously against a variety of pest species.

Key Indicators of a Rodent Infestation

Rodents reproduce rapidly and are highly resourceful, making early detection vital. Spotting one mouse or rat often signals a larger population nearby. Be alert for these common signs of infestation:

Droppings: Clear evidence that rodents have been active.
Gnawing Damage: Rodents constantly chew to maintain their teeth, often damaging wiring, drywall, plastic, and paper.
Nests: Look for hidden piles of soft materials like shredded paper, fabric, or cardboard in secluded areas such as attics or closets.
Scratching Sounds: Rodents tend to be nocturnal and may produce scratching noises inside walls during nighttime hours.
Visual Sightings: Seeing a rodent usually means there are more nearby, as they breed quickly.
