Prevent wildlife in your Central Florida home - Heron Home & Outdoor

Dealing with rodents and wildlife is a common challenge for homeowners everywhere. These critters not only pose health risks due to the diseases they carry but can also cause significant damage to your property. Once they settle in, getting rid of them can be a frustrating ordeal. That’s why exclusion, blocking animals from entering your home, is such a valuable approach. Preventing pests from gaining entry in the first place saves you headaches down the road.

At Heron Home And Outdoor, we employ advanced techniques to keep both rodents and wildlife at bay, including our innovative Flexi Armour system. Keep reading to discover how our exclusion services work!

Understanding Pest Exclusion and How It Works

In essence, pest exclusion involves closing off any gaps, cracks, or openings in your home’s exterior that animals could sneak through. Simply catching and removing animals isn’t enough if their access points remain unsealed—they’ll just come back.

Here’s the step-by-step approach our Heron Home And Outdoor experts use:

Inspection: We begin with a complimentary walkthrough to spot any vulnerable areas.

Tailored Planning: Next, we design a strategy specific to your home’s layout and problem spots.

Safe Removal: We then humanely remove any wildlife currently living on your property.

Sealing and Protection: Finally, we secure your home’s perimeter using Flexi Armour and other proven exclusion materials to prevent re-entry.

Heron Home And Outdoor’s Proven Exclusion Techniques

Many homeowners don’t realize how many tiny entryways their homes have. Rodents, for example, can squeeze through holes barely larger than the size of their heads. Identifying and closing these openings is a simple yet highly effective way to protect your property. Here are just a few of the exclusion methods we use at Heron Home And Outdoor:

Installing door sweeps to block gaps under doors.
Adding weather stripping around windows and doors.
Sealing cracks and holes with specialized sealants.
Covering exterior vents with protective screens.
Screening window weep holes to block tiny openings.
Placing caps on accessible plumbing pipes.
Fitting chimney caps to prevent wildlife entry.

What Is Flexi Armour?

Flexi Armour is a precisely constructed material, made from a knitted mesh of stainless steel. Its design serves two essential functions: it is pliable enough to allow for a perfect, seamless installation in any structural gap, yet its steel composition provides an uncompromising barrier. It is a material that pests simply cannot defeat through force.

Key Advantages of the Flexi Armour System:

How to Identify a Rodent Infestation Early

Rodents are prolific breeders and can quickly multiply, making early detection critical. Spotting one mouse or rat often means many others are nearby. Watch for these common indicators of rodent presence:

Droppings. Fresh droppings are a clear sign of rodent activity.
Chew marks. Rodents constantly gnaw to keep their teeth sharp—look for damage on wires, drywall, packaging, or furniture.
Nests. Soft piles of fabric, paper, or shredded cardboard hidden in quiet places like attics or closets.
Scratching sounds. Noises within walls or ceilings, especially at night when rodents are most active.
Sightings.Seeing a rodent is a strong warning that more are around.
