When targeted exclusion fits
Single high-leverage failures—a chewed vent, a garage corner, a failed sweep—often deserve scoped work. Widespread failure belongs inpest proofing.
Roof and vent routes
Squirrels and raccoons defeat plastic covers. Metal mesh, caps, and flashing details are specified for species risk.
Garage and foundation
Mice and rats use threshold gaps and vents—mechanical barriers sized to opening, not caulk theater.
Verify occupancy
Sound, fresh sign, and timing matter before permanent seal. Active wildlife routes to appropriate control pages first.
Hand off to broader proofing
Photo documentation supports GC and insurer conversations when multiple points fail.
