Keep Pests Out

What Is Exclusion?

Exclusion pest control in Salt Lake City, UT is often overlooked but it is critical for successful long term pest prevention.

It is one of the key foundational principles of pest management. We should make structures as difficult as possible to enter instead of simply trying to control the pests once they enter. This can be done in a variety of ways from proper door sweeps, to sealants, stainless steel mesh, escutcheon plates, and various other materials and methods.

Thorn’s Exclusion Process Inspect, assess, discuss, install and follow-up.

Thorn’s exclusion process starts with a detailed inspection. After the inspection, we will assess and discuss the best exclusion methods and the best materials to use. Then, we will install these materials and devices. We will follow-up on the work done and continuously monitor to ensure the devices are working properly and that all possible entry points stay closed.

1. Detailed Inspection

First step to exclusion is a detailed inspection. We need to identify any potential entry points for rodents and other pests. Usual pest vulnerable areas like doors, windows, utility penetrations, and where the exterior walls meet eaves must be examined carefully.

2. Assess and Discuss

Once we have identified the potential pest entry points we need to assess and decide what options are best for exclusion. Each situation may require a little bit different approach and solution and thought needs to be put into what will be best for each. Good materials applied in the wrong situations will lead to poor results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Pricing for pest exclusion varies by the type of infestation. Pest proofing doors start at $125, and small exclusion jobs are even less expensive, priced as low as $10 when combined with other services. Exclusion to prevent pests from entering a home or building is usually the least expensive pest solution, so if you need help, contact us for pricing today.

Exclusion refers to the process of sealing up pest entry points. By blocking entry points and sealing cracks, pests are less likely to enter a home or building.

Pricing for preventative pest control is highly variable and depends on what type of pest issues need to be controlled. Pest exclusion is often a starting point, and is almost always a cost effective solution. Exclusion gets the best results over any other treatment strategy, and it works over time unlike sprays and other deterrents that are topical and need to be reapplied.

Rodent exclusion specifically refers to sealing up a structure so that rodents cannot enter. This is critical when trying to control rodents like mice and rats. Trapping is a solution for getting rodents that have already entered a space, but if you fail to block their entryways, you’ll trap them endlessly.

Rodent activity begets rodent activity, because they often urinate when entering a structure which informs other rodents on safe entry points. Our team of experts are trained to identify and block entry points to mitigate an infestation, and can help prevent pests from returning.

Exclusion strategies start with a detailed assessment of pest entry points. Mice and rats can enter through some of the smallest gaps, even those measuring ¼-inch to ½-inch. The skilled and knowledgeable pest control specialists at Thorn understand the most effective methods for exclusion, and can make recommendations for the best materials to seal gaps so that your solutions are rodent proof, and won’t rust or degrade over time.

    We love Thorn and our technician today was David. We can’t recommend them enough. They spray our full exterior and interior and check all the sneaky places like window wells and up in the eaves where wasps like to hide. This is the best pest company we have ever used.
  • Mike Hamideh
    Working with Thorn Pest Solutions has been a great experience from the very beginning. The initial assessment was thorough, and everything was explained in clear, easy-to-understand terms. Their pricing was very reasonable, and the results have exceeded my expectations. One of the things I appreciate most about this company is their excellent communication. Before each visit, they always reach out to confirm and check in. For example, today I received a call from their technician, Bayron Villareal, prior to his arrival. He asked if there were any specific issues I wanted him to address. I mentioned that we had started seeing wasps near our back patio, and he assured me he would pay special attention to that area. That kind of personalized service really stands out and makes a difference.
