Wildlife Exclusion Services for the Albuquerque and Rio Rancho Metro
Removing a wild animal is only half the job. If the entry points are not sealed, new animals will move in and the problem will return. Wildlife exclusion is the process of sealing the gaps, vents, and openings that animals use to get into your home.
Manzano Pest Management provides professional wildlife exclusion for homes and businesses across the Albuquerque and Rio Rancho metro. Our approach focuses on sealing entry points and preventing future wildlife problems. For removal services, see our wildlife removal page.
Why Wildlife Exclusion Matters
Wildlife removal without exclusion is a temporary fix. Animals that are removed leave behind entry points, and new animals will find them. Exclusion prevents this cycle and protects your home from:
Common Entry Points
-
Roof vents and soffits
-
Chimneys and flues
-
Foundation cracks and gaps
-
Utility penetrations
-
Gaps under doors and siding
-
Attic vents and gable vents
Why DIY Exclusion Often Fails
Sealing entry points requires a thorough inspection and the right materials. DIY exclusion can trap animals inside, causing more damage and health risks. Professional exclusion uses proven methods and materials to seal entry points safely.
What Our Wildlife Exclusion Service Includes
Thorough Inspection
We inspect your property to identify all potential entry points. This includes the roofline, attic, foundation, vents, and exterior walls.
Entry Point Sealing
We seal entry points using materials designed to withstand wildlife. This may include metal flashing, hardware cloth, sealant, and vent covers.
Removal Coordination
If animals are still present, we coordinate removal before sealing entry points. See our wildlife removal page for more.
Follow-Up
We schedule follow-ups to confirm entry points are sealed and to recommend any additional repairs.
How to Prepare for a Wildlife Exclusion Service
-
Clear access to the attic, roofline, and foundation.
-
Note where you have seen or heard wildlife activity.
-
Do not seal any entry points yourself.
-
Follow all instructions provided by your technician before the visit.
