Properly sealing your home is the best long-term solution because it eliminates the entry points that wildlife depend on to gain access. Animals like squirrels, raccoons, and bats only need small gaps or weak spots to get inside, and once they do, they often cause costly damage while nesting. Trapping or removing animals without sealing simply invites new ones to take their place, creating an endless cycle of problems. By closing off cracks, vents, gaps around the roofline, and other vulnerable areas with durable materials, you protect your home year-round and reduce the likelihood of repeated infestations.
