Quick answer. Critter Guys provides wildlife exclusion in Pinellas Park, FL for site-built homes, manufactured homes and commercial buildings. After an inspection, we seal the openings raccoons, opossums, rats, squirrels, armadillos and bats use, from skirting and crawl access panels to vents, soffits and roof returns, using heavy hardware cloth, flashing and screens. Any animals inside are removed humanely first. Call or text (321) 203-6963.
Ground-level gaps we seal in Pinellas Park
In a flat, low-lying city full of manufactured homes and sheds, a lot of exclusion work happens close to the ground.
- Mobile home skirting, reattached and backed with buried hardware cloth where animals dig.
- Crawl access panels and doors, secured so they can’t be pushed open.
- Shed and screen room bases, with gaps under doors and floors closed.
- Gaps around plumbing and duct openings through the floor.
- Spaces under steps, porches and decks where opossums den.
- Slab edges and walkways where armadillos have started burrowing.
What wildlife exclusion means and why it comes first
Exclusion is the work of finding every opening an animal could use and closing it with something the animal can’t chew, pull or dig through. Removal handles the animal you have today. Exclusion handles the next one, which in Pinellas Park is usually already on its way down the drainage channel.
That’s why we recommend prevention first, every time. Sealing the property before anything moves in costs less than removal, cleanup and repair after, and it’s the most humane approach because no animal gets trapped inside to begin with.
When to schedule it
Good times are right after an animal is removed, after a big storm, when you buy a home, or the moment you notice a loose skirting panel or a chewed vent. For bats, exclusion is done between August 15 and April 14, outside the maternity season. Our Pinellas Park bat removal page explains that timing.

Building types and wildlife pressure in Pinellas Park
Pinellas Park grew fast after World War II on land that was once farm fields and wet muck. Today it’s a mix of concrete block ranch homes, manufactured home communities, townhomes and commercial buildings, spread across flat ground laced with drainage channels. Joe’s Creek winds through Lealman just to the south, and Sawgrass Lake Park’s wetlands sit just outside the city limits.
That combination puts pressure on a house from both directions: raccoons, opossums and armadillos at ground level, and roof rats and squirrels overhead. So a good exclusion job here covers the whole structure, not one side. See our Pinellas Park wildlife control page for the animals behind it.

How a wildlife exclusion job runs
Order matters. Sealing too early traps animals inside; sealing too little lets them back in.
Inspect from roof to ground
We look at the roof line, vents, soffits, attic, skirting, crawl spaces, sheds and yard. Then we walk you through each opening.
Remove animals first
If anything is living inside or under the home, we get it out humanely with traps or one-way doors, under FWC rules. Raccoon jobs are covered on our Pinellas Park raccoon removal page.
Seal with durable materials
Hardware cloth, metal flashing, heavy vent screen and secured panels close each opening. Damaged wood or skirting is repaired as part of our animal damage repair.
Final check
We confirm nothing is trapped inside and show you what we sealed, plus anything to keep an eye on, like trees or fences touching the roof.

Nelson from CritterGuys provided great service today! He was professional, and explained everything very well and helped us and the neighbor with a rat problem on the patio. He also inspected the attic, roof and exterior of the house, sealed a space on the roof, and added bait station boxes. Great service! Highly recommended!

One sealed home helps the whole row
In manufactured home communities and townhome rows, animals move from unit to unit. We work with HOAs and property managers to seal several homes at once, so the problem doesn’t simply shift next door.

Wildlife Exclusion in Pinellas Park: quick answers
Have a question that isn’t here? Call or text (321) 203-6963 and we’ll help.
How much does wildlife exclusion cost in Pinellas Park?
We quote after an inspection. Price depends on the number and type of openings, whether it’s a site-built or manufactured home, how much skirting or wood needs repair, and the roof’s height and pitch.
Can you animal-proof mobile home skirting?
Yes. We reattach and reinforce skirting, secure access panels, and add buried hardware cloth along the base where animals tend to dig under. That stops raccoons, opossums and armadillos from getting under the home.
Is it worth sealing my Pinellas Park house before anything gets in?
Yes, and that’s when it saves the most. Our approach is prevention first: closing gaps before anything moves in costs less than removal, cleanup and repair, and no animal ends up trapped inside.
Can you keep armadillos from burrowing beside my shed or walkway?
Yes. We trap armadillos humanely and install barriers along vulnerable slab edges, walkways and sheds so they can’t burrow underneath.
Do you seal commercial buildings and HOA properties?
Yes. We work with property managers, HOAs, townhome and manufactured home communities, and businesses. Larger jobs are planned around access and tenants.
