Custom Barriers That Keep Wildlife Out for Good
Wild animals like raccoons, squirrels, skunks, and rodents can exploit even the smallest openings to enter your home. Once inside, they damage insulation, wiring, and structural elements, creating health and safety hazards. Exclusion is the only way to stop future invasions — and it requires more than just sealing a hole.
USX Pest installs professional wildlife exclusion systems designed to fortify your home from top to bottom. We begin with a full inspection to identify current and potential entry points, including soffits, crawl space vents, attic gaps, roof returns, and foundation cracks. Then we build custom-fit barriers using chew-proof materials that blend into your home’s exterior.
From vent guards and chimney caps to underground barriers that stop digging pests and rodent-proof screening, every exclusion system is tailored to your structure and wildlife risk level. Our work is backed by a warranty and built to last through all seasons.

Three Exclusion Systems: Total Protection for Homes, Businesses and Other Buildings
USX Pest offers comprehensive protection with three distinct rodent and wildlife exclusion systems to secure homes and buildings from the highest point of the roof to the lowest part of the structure. Our three systems can be used alone or in tandem to guarantee that nuisance rodents and wildlife are permanently excluded. Because every structure is unique, USX Pest customizes each exclusion system to best meet the building’s needs.
Upper Level
The Upper Level Exclusion System protects the home or building from the roof’s peak down to the upper part of the windows on the first floor. This exclusion system protects the structure from raccoons, squirrels, bats, birds, rats, and mice.
Lower Level
Protect your home, business, or other structure from the ground-level up to the first-floor windows with the Lower Level Exclusion System. This option is ideal for keeping rodents, chipmunks, squirrels, skunks, snakes, and possums.
Trench-Guard Level
Low-clearance areas like decks, sheds, and basements need protection too. This exclusion system protects these structures from rats, mice, skunks, woodchucks, and more

Signs You Need an Exclusion System
Even if animals haven’t entered yet, these signs suggest your home is at risk.
Missing or Damaged Vent Covers
Unprotected vents are easy entry points for squirrels, mice, and birds seeking shelter inside walls or attics.
Gaps Along Roof or Fascia
Spaces along the roofline are often used by raccoons, bats, and squirrels to access attic spaces.
Burrows Near the Foundation
Skunks and rodents dig tunnels under porches, decks, or HVAC units to nest close to the home.
Chewed Trim or Siding
Bite marks or peeled siding often indicate that an animal has attempted or succeeded in entering.
Recurring Wildlife Activity
Seeing the same animals in your yard over and over is a sign they’re looking for shelter — or already found it.
Previous Infestation or Entry
If your home has had wildlife in the past, those access points must be sealed to stop repeat invasions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an exclusion system?
An exclusion system is a set of materials and techniques used to physically seal a structure against wildlife and rodents. It creates a permanent barrier to entry for pests looking to nest or seek shelter.
Do I need exclusion if I don’t have animals inside?
Yes. Exclusion is most effective as a preventive measure. It stops wildlife before they enter, reducing damage, stress, and cleanup costs later.
What materials are used for exclusion?
We use galvanized steel mesh, concrete-backed flashing, chew-proof sealants, vent screens, chimney caps, and custom-fabricated barriers tailored to your home.
Will the barriers change how my house looks?
No. Our work is designed to blend into your home’s exterior and maintain curb appeal. All materials are low-profile and color-matched when possible.
How long does installation take?
Most exclusion systems are installed in one to two days depending on the size of the property and number of access points.
Is your exclusion work guaranteed?
Yes. Our exclusion systems include a warranty that covers re-entry through sealed areas. If animals return, We’ll re-secure the site at no additional cost during the coverage period.
