Animal Exclusion Services in San Jose

In order to effectively prevent wildlife animals from getting into your home and onto your property, the professionals at Critter Control of San Jose may implement multiple methods of modification to complete the animal prevention services.

Habitat Modification

Habitat modification refers to the process of identifying and limiting wildlife animals’ access to water, food, and shelter. Common techniques of exclusion can include sealing possible points of entry, screen venting, and other barriers to prevent wildlife intrusions.

Different types of exclusion techniques tend to be more effective than others, for numerous reasons. For example, how effective a technique is can depend on the intelligence of the animal species and their preferred habits.

Incorrect wildlife control techniques can actually cause an undesirable outcome, including animals learning to avoid traps and bait.

Wildlife Exclusion

Keeping wildlife out of certain areas of your home, or exclusion can be one of the most effective methods of long-term control, especially if your property has been damaged by said animals.

Identifying Entry Points

Trapping of the nuisance animal will help resolve your current animal issues, but it does not address returning animals or future wildlife issues. Locating animal entry points and implementing wildlife repairs and exclusion methods can all greatly reduce the chance of future animal infestations.
