🚨 A small roof gap can become a costly wildlife problem. Every day it remains open gives rodents more time to enter, chew through building materials, and create additional access points.
🐀 Rats, mice, and squirrels can damage fascia, shingles, soffits, insulation, wiring, and structural materials once they reach your attic.
🪹 During a recent inspection, we found a rat nest on a customer’s roof made from insulation, leaves, and debris. Beneath it was a chewed opening in the fascia at the roof return—an entry point that could have gone unnoticed while allowing continued access to the home.
📸 We photographed the damage and showed the homeowner exactly how the rats were getting inside. Clear documentation made it easier to understand the problem and choose the right solution.
🛠️ Quick fixes like rags, steel wool, copper mesh, and aluminum foil often fail when they aren’t properly secured. Rodents can pull them out, chew through them, or create another way in.
🔍 Effective wildlife exclusion requires a thorough inspection. We find all potential entry points—not just the obvious gap—and seal them correctly to help prevent repeat infestations and further damage.
🦨 Wildlife can also threaten your property from the ground. Armadillos and skunks dig through yards and burrow around foundations, logs, and heavy structures, damaging landscaping and creating additional risks.
🏠 At The Critter Crew, we inspect, document, and explain what we find so you know exactly what’s happening—and how to fix it properly.
Don’t wait for a small opening to become a major repair.
