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.

  • Follow all instructions provided by your technician before the visit.
