Wildlife Exclusion & Animal Proofing in Raleigh, NC
Ridge-Guard installation, chimney caps, vent screening, and fascia repair with a limited lifetime warranty.
Professional Wildlife Exclusion & Animal Proofing in the Triangle
Exclusion is the part of the job that determines whether the animals come back. Removal without exclusion is a temporary result, and it is the main reason homeowners call a second company after a cheap trapping job.
Raleigh Animal Removal is the largest Ridge-Guard installer on the East Coast, and our technicians are Ridge-Guard Certified and trained in metal fabrication so exclusion components are formed to fit the actual roof line rather than approximated with foam and caulk.
A complete animal proofing package covers the ridge, gable and soffit vents, roof returns, fascia gaps, chimney, crawl space vents, and utility penetrations. Work we perform carries a limited lifetime warranty.

- An open or damaged ridge vent along the roof line

Wildlife Exclusion & Animal Proofing FAQs
What is Ridge-Guard?
Ridge-Guard is a professional exclusion product installed along the ridge vent, the single most common high entry point for bats, flying squirrels, and gray squirrels. We install more of it than any other company on the East Coast.
Can I use foam or caulk instead?
Foam and caulk are chewed through in days by squirrels and rodents. Exclusion has to be metal or mesh at any point an animal can reach.
Does exclusion have to happen after removal?
Yes. Sealing an occupied structure traps animals inside and causes odor and damage as they try to escape.
What does the warranty cover?
A limited lifetime warranty applies to the areas we seal. If wildlife re-enters through our work, we come back.
