The Process of Wildlife-Proofing Your Attic
The process of wildlife-proofing typically involves several steps. Initially, a professional will conduct a comprehensive inspection of your attic and the exterior of your home to identify entry points and assess any existing damage. Common entry points include gaps in roofing, vents, and chimneys. Once identified, these areas are sealed using durable materials such as metal flashing or heavy-duty mesh.
In addition to sealing entry points, professionals may also install one-way doors or exclusion devices. These allow animals to exit your attic but prevent them from re-entering. This is particularly useful if wildlife is currently residing in your attic. Finally, professionals will often clean and sanitize the affected areas to remove any droppings or nesting materials, reducing the risk of disease transmission.
