WILDLIFE PREVENTION AND DAMAGE CONTROL- OAKLAND COUNTY, MI

Wildlife prevention is good to keep nuisance animals and attic pest out of your home. Wildlife proofing your home is essential when dealing with unwanted pest. Most wild animals are very territorial and will often come back to a home if the repairs are not done right. We offer all types of repairs. Chimney caps, eves, gable vents, ridge vents, bathroom vent covers, caulking, screening, flashing, deck screening and more. We use caulking and roof sealant on all repairs. We never use spray foam for repairs! It looks awful and never lasts. The absolute only time for spray foam use is when controlling air flow and insulation purposes. Always used from inside out, never outside in.

Wildlife Control Repairs Situations

Chimney Caps

Chimney Cap Installs

Chimney caps ensure there will be no more raccoon's, birds, or bats living in your fireplace. Typically a cap will not keep bats out, so we recommend installing a 1/2" hardware cloth underneath the cap to keep the bats out. If the fireplace is natural gas a 1/4" hardware cloth can be used to ensure no bats will gain entry. There are many types of chimney caps for ever flue size. We can choose the cap that best fits your chimney stack.

Eave Repair

Roof Line Gap Repairs

Often times squirrels, birds or bats will enter your house through an eave area. Eaves are areas where one roof line meets another roof line, creating a construction gap. Squirrels will get up under the gap and chew their way in. A bat will fold its body up and slide right in. Birds can make a nest inside the soffit, blocking ventilation and also creating airborne bacteria. Repairs can be made with flashing or hardware cloth.

Gable Vents

Gable Vent Screens

Gable vents are vents that sit on the side of your house and provide ventilation. We often need to screen the top of these vents with galvanized hardware cloth. Screens from the inside will not keep animals or birds from roosting or nesting under the louvers. Screens typically blend in with shadows making it less noticeable. Bats, birds, and squirrels are the most common animals entering these areas.

Ridge Vent Guard to Protect Your Home From Wildlife

Ridge Vents

Ridge Wrap Screen

Ridge vents are vents that sit on top of the peak of your house allowing ventilation. Even if there is a fiberglass screen underneath, the bats will still sit under the vent cap causing the screen to deteriorate. Ridge vent cap should be nailed down tight to the roof line. Some metal caps have a rubber insert in the end of them. Sometimes these fall out or roofers forget to put them in. Replacing the rubber insert or filling it in with hardware cloth and roof sealant will get the job done and keep critters out. Good good roofing product like ridge-wrap can help solve your ridge vent problem as well.

Bathroom Vent Covers

Bird Vent Guards

Cages over dryer vents and bathroom vents can prevent birds from roosting in your flex pipe causing your exhaust systems not to work. It's important to remove all of the debris from within the flex pipe. Sometimes this requires going into the attic to remove the flex pipe from the exhaust. Once removed you can clean out the pipe and reattach it to the exhaust. Using hardware cloth instead of the vent cap, can clog up sometimes. We don't recommend this method.

Attic Vent Cages

Can Vent Covers

Cages over your attic and canned vents can prevent squirrels and raccoon''s from chewing through into your attic. This is also a good technique to keep birds out from underneath the vent as well. Screens from the attic will prevent wild animals or birds from entering your attic, but will not prevent nesting under the vent. Birds and squirrels will gather nesting material and make homes underneath the vent top. Raccoon's have often torn these vent tops off to make way into your attic. Applying these cages over your vents are sure to keep nuisance wildlife out of your attic. Cage covers typically come in a galvanized metal or stainless steel, depending on your liking.
