Oviedo homes need two kinds of exclusion
Most cities need roof work. Oviedo needs roof work and ground work, because armadillos, opossums and snakes come in low from the woods while squirrels, rats and bats come in high from the trees.
Wildlife exclusion in Oviedo’s wooded neighborhoods
A big share of Oviedo’s homes back onto something wild: a retention pond, a greenbelt, a conservation strip, the Econlockhatchee River corridor or the wetlands along Lake Jesup. Little Big Econ State Forest and the Black Hammock Wilderness Area sit just outside the neighborhoods. All of that keeps a steady stream of animals moving past your fence. Exclusion doesn’t change that, but it makes your house a dead end.
Housing age plays in too. Neighborhoods built from the mid 1980s through the 1990s now have roof lines that have been through decades of storms, and newer communities with tile roofs and big screened lanais have their own weak spots. Our Oviedo wildlife control page explains more about how the land around town shapes animal activity.

Craig from critter guys was absolutely wonderful!!! He was so kind and most important very honest about what he found and DIDN’T FIND in our attic. He took pictures to show trouble areas that should be addressed to prevent any future problems and didn’t try to sell us on a bunch of stuff that didn’t need to be done by his company. THANK YOU CRAIG FOR BEING A HONEST and REPUTABLE COMPANY!!! ❤️

Dion is doing a great job responding to our needs and flexible to our schedule since there is not always access to the house. He explains what we need, points out trouble spots and fixes some of them when possible. Thanks Dion! …

Why prevention beats repeat removal
We’ve seen it many times: a homeowner gets a raccoon trapped, the hole stays open, and three months later there’s a different raccoon in the same spot. In Oviedo, with this much habitat close by, that cycle can go on for years. Exclusion stops it. Once the entry points are sealed and reinforced, the next animal that wanders through has no way in.
It also saves money. Chewed wiring, soiled insulation and damaged ducts cost more to fix than a few sealed gaps. That’s why our first recommendation is always full prevention, ideally the first time you hear or notice something. For how we approach this across the metro, see our Orlando wildlife exclusion page.
Armadillo barriers
Armadillos burrow under slab edges, walkways and pool decks, and they can undermine the soil. After removal, we can close the burrow and block that edge so a new armadillo doesn’t take over.
How an Oviedo exclusion job runs
Exclusion is careful work. Here’s the sequence.
Inspect high and low
We check the roof line and attic, then the foundation, deck, lanai and yard. Every gap gets documented, used or not.
Clear out current residents
If something is living in the house, it comes out first, through trapping or one-way doors. Our Oviedo raccoon removal is a common first step.
Seal and reinforce
Hardware cloth, metal flashing, vent guards and quality sealant close the openings. Damaged fascia, soffit and screens are repaired.
Walk through the results
We go over what was done and point out yard changes that help, like trimming limbs and securing trash and feed.
Quick patch vs. real exclusion
Not all sealing is equal.
| Quick patch | Critter Guys exclusion |
|---|---|
| Spray foam in one hole | Chew-proof materials at every gap |
| Animal may still be inside | Animals removed before sealing |
| Ignores decks and slabs | Roof line and ground level both covered |
| Scent left behind | Scent trails treated |

Oviedo wildlife exclusion questions, answered
Still wondering about something? Call or text (321) 203-6963.
How much does wildlife exclusion cost in Oviedo?
The quote depends on how many entry points the house has, roof type and height, whether decks or slab edges need work and how much damage needs repair. Either way, you get a firm number before we seal anything.
My Oviedo home is fairly new. Does it still need exclusion?
Often, yes. Newer homes have tighter construction, but tile roof ends, AC penetrations, vent screens and gaps under lanais and decks still let animals in. Homes next to preserves get tested more often.
Can you keep armadillos out of my yard entirely?
Keeping them out of a whole yard is tough, but we can stop them from burrowing under slabs, walkways and pool decks. After removal, we close and block the burrows they used.
Do you exclude bats as part of this?
Yes, outside of Florida’s maternity season, April 15 to August 14. Bats leave through one-way devices and then the gaps are sealed. Our bat removal page explains the timing.
How long does exclusion last?
Properly sealed, the work lasts a long time. Storms, roof work and new landscaping can open new gaps, so it’s smart to walk the house after a big storm or have us take a look.
