Animal & Wildlife Proofing Experts
Are you tired of dealing with unwanted critters in your Florida home? Dr. Critter offers expert animal and wildlife proofing services to protect your property and prevent future infestations. Our experienced technicians can identify and seal entry points to ensure your home is safe from pests.
What does animal proofing actually seal?
A proofing job closes the ways into the building rather than treating the animal that used them. On a Central Florida roof that means screening the attic vents and gable louvers with hardware cloth, repairing chewed or rotted soffit and fascia, closing the gap where the fascia board meets the roof deck, sealing roof-to-wall junctions and dormer flashing, and capping the chimney. Every opening we find is sealed, not just the one the animal was using, because a second gap becomes the next entry point. The sealed entry points carry a lifetime warranty.
Which entry points do raccoons and squirrels use?
Raccoons pull back soffit panels and roof vents; squirrels chew through soffit, fascia and roof-edge flashing and get through gaps far smaller than they look. Our species guides to raccoons and squirrels cover the signs each one leaves at the roofline.
How long does proofing last?
The sealed entry points are warranted for life: if an animal gets back in through work we did, we return and fix it at no charge, so the answer is as long as you own the building. Beyond simple animal removal, effective wildlife control requires proactive measures to prevent future problems. Our comprehensive proofing services include:
The Dr. Critter Difference
Effective proofing starts with identifying what's getting in. See our bird control and exclusion guide, along with our guides to bats and squirrels — the species that most often exploit roof gaps, vents, and soffit returns.
Proofing work also varies by where you are. The lake-edge lots and newer stucco construction that Clermont animal control deals with fail at different points than the mature tree canopy behind most Orange County wildlife calls, where the usual way in is a branch resting on the roof.
