Wildlife Exclusion
Sealing entry points to keep wildlife out of your home or business — for good. Removal is only half the job; exclusion is what prevents the problem from coming back.
What Is Exclusion
What Wildlife Exclusion Means
Wildlife exclusion is the process of sealing the entry points that animals use to get into your home or building — gaps in soffits, roof vents, chimney openings, foundation cracks, loose siding, and other structural openings.
Without exclusion, removing an animal is a temporary fix. Another animal — sometimes the same species, sometimes a different one — will find the same opening and move right back in. Exclusion is what makes the solution last.
Why It Matters
Why Exclusion Matters
Wildlife in the GTA has learned that attics, soffits, chimneys, and crawl spaces offer safe, warm shelter. Once an animal finds a way in, the opening doesn't go away on its own. If you remove the animal but don't seal the entry point, the problem repeats — often within weeks.
Exclusion also prevents new problems before they start. If an opening exists, it's only a matter of time before something finds it. Sealing vulnerable areas proactively is often less expensive than dealing with an established wildlife problem.
What Marsh Does
Full Inspection
We inspect your roof, attic, soffits, foundation, and exterior to identify every potential entry point — not just the one the animal is currently using.
Animal Removal
If wildlife is currently inside, we remove it humanely using one-way doors or live trapping before sealing the entry points.
Sealing & Repair
We seal entry points with wildlife-proof materials — heavy-gauge screening, metal flashing, and other durable solutions that animals can't chew or push through.
Verification
We verify that all entry points are sealed and that no animals are trapped inside before considering the job complete.
What to Expect
What You Can Expect
Exclusion work is customized to your property. The materials and approach depend on the type of wildlife, the location of the entry points, and the construction of your building. We use durable, wildlife-proof materials designed to last.
If animals are currently inside, we make sure they're out before sealing — no animal should be trapped inside a sealed building.
