What Is Pest Exclusion?

Pest Exclusion is the process of preventing pests from entering your property by identifying, sealing off access points and eliminating/reducing harbourage and nesting spots. Orkin Canada provide various pest exclusion services.

How Do Orkin Canada’s Exclusion Services Keep Your Vancouver Property Protected Against Pests?

With over 120 years of experience in pest control, Orkin Canada offers the expertise you need to protect your home or business from the unique pest challenges in Vancouver. Our trained professionals conduct a comprehensive ground and rooftop level inspection of your property and implement customised exclusion solutions tailored to your specific needs. From rodents to wildlife, we know how to prevent pests from infesting your property.

Pest-Resistant Sealants

Vancouver’s wet climate means that pests are often seeking dry, warm spaces. Using weather/pest-resistant sealants not only prevent pests from entering but also withstand the elements, ensuring long-lasting protection.

Rodent-Resistant Mesh and Barriers

We use durable materials like steel mesh to cover vents, pipes, and other openings that rats and mice could use to get inside. This prevents rodents from chewing through softer materials like wood or plastic.

Door Sweeps and Vinyl Strip Doors

Rodents and other pests often enter properties through gaps around and under doorways, especially in storage spaces, patios, decks and balconies. Door sweeps and vinyl strip doors are effective in sealing off these gaps while allowing you to move in and out easily.

Benefits of Orkin Canada’s Vancouver Exclusion Services

Preventing Structural Damage

Rodents and wildlife can cause significant structural damage to buildings. Rats and mice gnaw through insulation, wood, and wiring, while raccoons and squirrels can damage rooftops or vents while seeking shelter. Electrical wire damage can cause fire. Exclusion protects your property from these pests, saving you from expensive repairs.

Reducing Health Risks

Rodents and wildlife can be carriers of diseases and ectoparasites that can pose serious health risks. Effective pest exclusion eliminates the likelihood of introducing pathogens and parasites into your environment, ensuring that your home or business maintains a pest excluded, free environment.

Improving Energy Efficiency

In addition to keeping pests out, exclusion services also help seal gaps and cracks that could be leaking air, improving your building’s insulation and energy efficiency. This is especially important in Vancouver, where fluctuating temperatures can put a strain on HVAC systems.

Common Entry Points for Pests in Vancouver

Pests are always in search of food water and shelter, making homes and businesses vulnerable to potential pest infestations. Pests such as rodents and wildlife are incredibly resourceful and need only a small opening to make their way inside. Some of the most common entry points that your Orkin Pro will inspect for include:

• Cracks and crevices in the foundation – Gaps and cracks as tiny as a quarter can allow mice or rats to squeeze into your building.
• Unsealed doors and windows – Doors and windows that don’t close properly or may have broken screens can be entry points for pests.
• Deck, balcony, balcony railings and backyard sliding doors– common access points for rodents, wildlife, and bird roosting.
• Vents and chimneys – Openings in vents or chimneys offer easy access for birds, squirrels, and other wildlife to nest and harbour.
• Attic and rooftops such as overhang, eaves, and HVAC systems – Squirrels, raccoons, and birds often look for elevated spaces to build nests or seek shelter making attics and roof spaces ideal harbourage areas.
• Openings around utility pipes and ducts
• Flat ledges on building such as window ledges and rafters – birds use such surfaces for roosting and nesting.
• Other pest harbourage sites and attractants on the property and landscape.

At Orkin Canada, we inspect your entire building, from the foundation to the roof, from the outside to the inside to identify any vulnerabilities and apply the appropriate exclusion techniques.
