Wildlife exclusion in Spring Hill, FL

Patching one hole vs. full wildlife exclusion
The difference shows up a few months later.
| Patching the active hole | Sealing the whole house |
|---|---|
| Fixes the spot you can see | Finds the five spots you can’t |
| Often done with foam or screen | Done with metal, mesh and hardware cloth |
| The animal chews a new hole nearby | No weak spots left to test |
| Usually done while animals are still inside | Done after removal, with one-way doors where needed |
From recent jobs
Two generations of Spring Hill houses
The original Spring Hill neighborhoods, west of the Suncoast Parkway and off Mariner Boulevard and Deltona Boulevard, are full of block homes with wood fascia and older soffits. After years of Gulf storms and summer heat, those edges loosen up, and that’s where most exclusion work on the older side of town happens. Lots of these homes back onto wooded parcels, so animals are always close by.
The newer subdivisions, mostly farther east toward the Parkway and beyond, have their own weak spots. Builders leave small gaps at roof returns, around the garage door and where the AC lines go in, and animals find them. A newer roof isn’t automatically a sealed roof.

How we do wildlife exclusion in Spring Hill
Exclusion has to happen in the right order, or you end up sealing animals in.
Inspect every inch
We check the roof line, attic, walls and foundation, and mark every gap, even the small ones that aren’t in use yet.
Get the animals out first
If something is living inside, we remove it before sealing. That might mean one-way doors for squirrels, traps for rats, or a careful plan for a raccoon family.
Seal with the right material
We use galvanized mesh, hardware cloth, metal flashing and sealant matched to each opening. Animals can’t chew through it.
Reinforce weak areas
Soft fascia, sagging soffits and damaged vents get repaired or reinforced so they hold up.

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!!! ❤️

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! …

Check the roof line after every big storm
Strong wind off the Gulf lifts shingles, tears vent screens and pops soffit panels loose. A quick inspection after a storm catches new openings before an animal does.
Why we recommend prevention first
Our philosophy is simple: it’s better to have someone look at the house when you first hear or notice something than when there’s already damage. Exclusion costs less than repeated removals, chewed wiring and soaked insulation. That’s why we recommend it on almost every job, and why it’s a good idea even if nothing has gotten in yet.
If animals have already been living in the attic, sealing is usually followed by cleanup. We handle that too, but sealing comes first so the attic stays clean once it’s done.

Questions about wildlife exclusion in Spring Hill
Have a question that isn’t here? Call or text (321) 203-6963 and we’ll help.
How much does wildlife exclusion cost in Spring Hill?
The cost depends on the size of the house, how many openings it has, and what condition the roof line is in. We inspect first and give you a quote that lists what we’ll seal.
Can you seal my Spring Hill house while animals are still inside?
No, and you shouldn’t try either. Sealing animals in leads to chewing, new holes and sometimes a dead animal in the wall. We remove them first, often with one-way doors, then seal.
My Spring Hill house is brand new. Does it need exclusion?
It might. New homes often have small gaps at roof returns, around garage doors and where utility lines enter. An inspection will tell you if anything needs to be closed up.
What material do you use to seal entry points on Spring Hill homes?
We use galvanized mesh, hardware cloth, metal flashing and sealants that animals can’t chew through. Foam and window screen alone don’t hold up to squirrels or rats.
Will exclusion keep snakes out of my Spring Hill garage?
Sealing gaps at the garage door corners and along the foundation helps a lot. Snakes usually come in following rodents, so closing those gaps and dealing with any rats cuts down on snake visits too.
How long does a typical exclusion job take on a Spring Hill house?
Most homes take a day or two once any animals are out. Bigger houses or roof lines with a lot of damage can take longer, and we’ll let you know after the inspection.
