Rodent and Wildlife Exclusion Services
Serving Atlanta Metro | Columbus | Augusta | Savannah

Dealing with rodents and wildlife is a common challenge for homeowners. These unwelcome visitors not only pose health risks due to the diseases they may carry but also can cause significant damage to your property. Once these pests settle in, getting rid of them becomes a difficult and often costly endeavor. That’s why rodent and wildlife exclusion is such a valuable approach—it focuses on preventing these animals from entering your home in the first place, saving you time, effort, and expense.
At Active Pest Control, we employ proven methods, including the innovative Flexi Armour system, to safeguard your home from these intruders. Continue reading to discover how our exclusion process can protect your property effectively.
Understanding Pest Exclusion: What It Means and How It Works
Simply put, pest exclusion involves identifying and sealing all entry points—such as cracks, holes, and gaps—that allow pests to access a building. While trapping and relocating animals can help temporarily, it won’t solve the problem if their access routes remain open.
Here’s a breakdown of the approach Active Pest Control takes:
- Thorough Inspection: We begin with a complimentary evaluation to pinpoint vulnerabilities around your home.
- Customized Planning: Next, we develop a strategy tailored to your property’s unique needs.
- Removal: We then humanely remove any hazardous wildlife present on your site.
- Reinforced Exclusion: Finally, we secure your home using materials like Flexi Armour to block any chance of re-entry.

Active Pest Control’s Comprehensive Wildlife and Rodent Exclusion Techniques
Many homeowners underestimate how many potential entry points their houses have. For instance, rats and mice can slip through surprisingly small spaces—sometimes as tiny as the size of a coin. Sealing these gaps is a simple, affordable, and highly effective way to keep pests at bay. Here are just some of the exclusion solutions we implement at Active Pest Control:
- Installing door sweeps to close gaps beneath exterior doors.
- Applying weather stripping around windows and doors.
- Sealing cracks and openings with durable sealants.
- Covering vents on the outside of your home.
- Screening window weep holes to prevent entry.
- Capping accessible pipes to block access.
- Installing chimney caps to deter wildlife.

Advantages of Using Rodent and Wildlife Exclusion
Exclusion is among the most efficient methods for keeping unwanted animals out of your living spaces. Consider these benefits:
- Complete blockage of rodent and wildlife entry points.
- Environmentally responsible approach with minimal reliance on chemicals.
- Long-lasting materials that stand up to weather and wear.
- Protects against a variety of pests simultaneously.
- Reduces the need for ongoing pest control interventions.
Recognizing the Warning Signs of a Rodent Infestation
Rodents reproduce quickly and can cause substantial problems if left unchecked. Detecting them early is key to preventing serious infestations. Watch for these common indicators:
- Droppings. Clear evidence that rodents have been present.
- Chew marks. Rodents gnaw to keep their teeth manageable, damaging materials like wiring, drywall, and plastics.
- Nesting materials. Piles of shredded paper, cloth, or cardboard tucked away in secluded areas like attics or closets.
- Scratching sounds. Noises inside walls or ceilings, especially during nighttime when rodents are most active.
- Visual sightings. Spotting one rodent often means there are many more nearby.
