Animal Proofing
Shamrock Wildlife Services provides painless and affordable animal proofing. We will do our best to prevent any animals from accessing your home. Animal trapping and removal methods can be sufficient, but animal proofing can prevent anything that could happen in the future. Many businesses and homeowners prefer this over trapping!

How do we animal proof a home?
Animal proofing a home can mean many different things depending on the animal we are dealing with. Many times this includes closing off vents on your roof or siding, but we do find animals entering in all kinds of strange areas. First we identify all potential entry points, then we provide a plan to close everything up. We make sure to still allow things to act as needed on your house, for example your attic vents get covered with a coated wire mesh but are still allowed to vent. Other areas such as a deck or shed, we can block off the bottom with a wire mesh that gets dug into the ground to provide a dig proof barrier to the structure. We have many tools at our disposal and any hole or entry point from an animal can be covered permanently in some way or another.

Once all attractants have been removed, we check the entire building for any other animals that have made it inside. They will be humanely removed if found. After all the animals are out, we will start to seal the building. We seal any small crack through which an animal can fit, from your roof to your foundation. We use various methods to seal small spaces, such as our outdoor caulk, Solar Seal #900. This caulk/adhesive will harden up after being exposed to the sun for a couple of weeks, because of this it provides a great seal against animals. We could also be installing some steel sheeting to your soffit to prevent chewing or entry from anything as well. We use a paintable metal that can fit perfectly to your soffit.
Trying to animal-proof on your own can be dangerous and ineffective without the correct knowledge. Though Shamrock Wildlife Services offers many different benefits, we highly recommend you take advantage of our animal proofing. Animals can expose you or your family to many different health hazards.

Decks are great for our recreation, but they’re also a tempting home to many small- to medium-sized animals. Wooden decks often become homes to these animals because they’re accessible. Most animals can find a way in through small holes that they may create or by digging under whatever guard you may have to stop them. Animals such as raccoons, possums, skunks, squirrels, and chipmunks are most likely to make a home under your deck.
Be sure not to try to remove the animals yourself. Without the professional equipment and knowledge, removing critters could be hazardous. Burrowing animals can become defensive if their burrows are upset, for example. These animals can be quite a nuisance, but lucky for you, Shamrock Wildlife Services is here to solve your deck infestation.
