Wildlife Exclusion & Entry Prevention in North Alabama
Professional Wildlife Exclusion
Roberts Wildlife seals the gaps that let animals into your home - roof lines, soffits, vents, chimneys, and foundation openings - so wildlife cannot get back in. Removing an animal only solves today's problem; exclusion solves it for good. Every job is backed by a one-year guarantee on the areas we touch, with a 5-year warranty available on squirrel, raccoon, and bat exclusion.
Most wildlife calls end the same way: the animal is out, but the hole it used is still wide open. Within a few weeks something else moves in. Exclusion is the part of the job that actually keeps your attic empty - finding every entry point, sealing it with materials animals can't chew through, and repairing the damage they left behind.
Common Entry Points We Seal
- Roof & Soffit Gaps – the gap where the roof line meets the soffit is the single most common way squirrels and raccoons get into an attic.
- Gable & Ridge Vents – loose, torn, or uncovered vents are an open door for bats, birds, and rodents.
- Uncapped Chimneys – raccoons and birds drop straight down an open flue to nest.
- Plumbing & Utility Penetrations – gaps around pipes, wiring, and HVAC lines let mice and rats slip inside.
- Foundation & Crawl Space Openings – broken vents and gaps along the foundation invite skunks, opossums, and rodents underneath the home.
Our Exclusion Process
- Full Inspection – We walk the entire structure, roof to foundation, and document every active and potential entry point.
- One-Way Exclusion – Where animals are still inside, we install one-way devices that let them leave but not return.
- Permanent Sealing – We close each opening with steel, hardware cloth, and sealants chosen so animals cannot chew or pull them loose.
- Damage Repair – We repair soffits, vents, and screens the wildlife damaged. (Add't fees may apply.)
- Warranty – A one-year guarantee on the areas we touch, with a 5-year warranty available on squirrel, raccoon, and bat exclusion.
Tired of trapping the same problem twice? Call (256) 535-3401 to seal the entry points for good.
Why Exclusion Beats Removal Alone
Trapping handles the animal in front of you. Exclusion handles the reason it was there:
- It Stops the Cycle – an open entry point will be found again; sealing it ends the repeat visits.
- It Protects the Structure – wildlife chews wiring, soaks insulation, and tears ductwork; closing the access stops new damage.
- It Lowers Long-Term Cost – one thorough exclusion is cheaper than repeated removals season after season.
- It Comes With a Warranty – because the work is permanent, we can stand behind it for up to five years on squirrel, raccoon, and bat exclusion.

Frequently Asked Questions: Wildlife Exclusion in North Alabama
What is wildlife exclusion?
Wildlife exclusion is the process of sealing every gap an animal could use to enter a building - roof lines, soffits, gable and ridge vents, chimneys, and foundation gaps - using materials animals cannot chew or pull loose. Done right, it keeps wildlife out for good rather than removing one animal and waiting for the next.
How is exclusion different from just trapping the animal?
Trapping removes the animal that is already inside; exclusion fixes the reason it got in. If you only trap, another squirrel, raccoon, or bat usually finds the same open soffit or vent within weeks. Roberts Wildlife combines one-way exclusion devices with permanent sealing so the problem ends instead of repeating.
What entry points do animals use to get into a house?
The most common entry points are gaps where the roof meets the soffit, loose or open gable and ridge vents, uncapped chimneys, gaps around plumbing and utility penetrations, and openings along the foundation or crawl space. We inspect all of them and seal each one as part of a full-property exclusion.
Do you guarantee your exclusion work?
Yes. Every job carries a one-year guarantee on the areas we touch, and a 5-year warranty is available on squirrel, raccoon, and bat exclusion work.
