Wildlife exclusion in Largo, FL
Wildlife exclusion in Largo, FL looks different depending on your house. On a manufactured home it’s mostly about the skirting and the floor. On a block home it’s the roof line. Critter Guys seals both kinds so animals stay out.

Quick answer. Critter Guys does wildlife exclusion in Largo, FL by sealing and reinforcing the places animals get in: skirting, underbelly gaps and pipe penetrations on manufactured homes, and soffits, roof vents and roof returns on block homes. We remove any animals first, then close every opening with chew-resistant materials. We’ll look your Largo house over and quote the job. Call or text (321) 203-6963.
Why we lead with wildlife exclusion in Largo
Our standing advice is prevention first. Removing an animal fixes today’s problem. Sealing the house fixes next year’s. During the inspection we look at every likely way in, including the ones nothing is using yet, and we’ll tell you honestly which openings matter most. It’s the same thinking behind our Orlando wildlife exclusion work.
Largo’s mix of housing makes this especially important. In a single manufactured home park or a street of older block homes, the same weak spots tend to repeat from house to house. Once we’ve found them on one home, we know what to check on the next.
Weak spots by house type
Largo has a lot of both, and each has its own set of trouble spots.
| Manufactured home | Block and stucco home |
|---|---|
| Loose or cracked skirting panels | Sagging or cracked soffit |
| Torn underbelly fabric | Chewed fascia corners |
| Pipe and duct gaps through the floor | Roof vents and gable screens |
| Seams where carports and porches attach | Roof returns over the garage |
| Gaps at the roof edge and vent stacks | AC line and plumbing penetrations |
Out in the field
Largo’s parks, ponds and the animals next door
Largo sits between a lot of natural ground. Largo Central Park Nature Preserve, John S. Taylor Park, the Florida Botanical Gardens and Heritage Village, and Walsingham Park just to the southwest all hold raccoons, opossums, squirrels and rats. McKay Creek, drainage ditches and the Pinellas Trail link them together like hallways.
That doesn’t mean every home near a park will have problems. It means the animals are already close by, and the house with a loose skirting panel or an open roof vent is the one they’ll pick. Exclusion makes your home the hard target on the block. Our Largo wildlife removal page goes over which animals we see most here.

Our Largo exclusion process
Sealing only works if it’s done in the right order and covers the whole home.
Walk the whole property
We check the roof edge, attic or roof cavity, skirting, foundation, sheds and carports, and mark every gap.
Remove anything living inside
Animals already in the home get removed humanely or let out through one-way doors first, so nothing is sealed in. That might mean raccoon removal or getting rats out of the attic before we close things up.
Seal, reinforce and repair
We close gaps with heavy screen, metal and chew-resistant materials, refasten and reinforce skirting at the ground line, and repair damaged soffit and fascia.
Show you the finished work
We walk you through what was sealed and point out things to keep an eye on, like a tree limb to trim or skirting to check after a storm.

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!

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! …

Animals exclusion keeps out of Largo homes
One good seal job stops a long list of animals.
- Raccoons and opossums looking for a den under the floor or in the attic
- Roof rats and Norway rats, which fit through surprisingly small gaps
- Gray squirrels chewing at the roof edge
- Bats roosting behind trim or tile, sealed out after the maternity season
- Armadillos digging in along skirting and slab edges
- Snakes following rodents into garages and under homes
After a storm, check the skirting and roof
High winds loosen skirting, lift shingles and tear vent screens. If your Largo home took a hit in a storm, it’s worth an inspection even if nothing has moved in yet.

Wildlife Exclusion in Largo: quick answers
Don’t see your question? Call or text (321) 203-6963 and ask a real person.
What does wildlife exclusion include for a manufactured home?
It usually covers securing and reinforcing the skirting at the ground line, sealing pipe and duct penetrations through the floor, repairing torn underbelly fabric and closing gaps at the roof edge and where carports or porches attach. Every home is a little different, so the inspection sets the list.
How much does wildlife exclusion cost in Largo?
It depends on the type and size of the home, how many openings need sealing and how much repair is needed. A manufactured home with loose skirting is a different job than a block home with several roof gaps. Your Largo quote lists exactly what we’ll seal and repair.
Should I do exclusion if I don’t have animals yet?
Yes, that’s the best time. Sealing a home before anything moves in costs less than removal, cleanup and repair later. It’s our standard recommendation.
Can I just nail the skirting back on myself?
You can, but loose skirting usually needs more than nails. Raccoons and armadillos push and dig at the bottom edge, so we reinforce the ground line so it can’t be lifted or tunneled under. Patches with foam or thin screen tend to fail fast.
Do you seal homes for HOAs and park managers in Largo?
Yes. We work with HOAs, 55+ communities, townhome associations and property managers. When the same weak spots repeat across many homes, a community plan saves time and keeps animals from simply moving next door.
Will exclusion trap an animal inside my home?
Not when it’s done right. We confirm nothing is inside before sealing, and use one-way doors where needed so animals leave on their own first.
