Frequently asked questions

What is pest exclusion?

Exclusion is sealing the physical gaps pests use to enter — foundation cracks, utility penetrations, gaps under doors and around vents — so they are kept out rather than treated after they get in.

Which gaps matter most on a Joliet home?

Gaps under doors, around utility and pipe penetrations, at the foundation line and at roof-soffit junctions matter most, since those are the routes rodents and fall invaders use.

Does exclusion replace treatment?

Exclusion and treatment work together. Sealing keeps new pests out while treatment clears what is already inside, which is why the most durable results pair the two.
