Rodent, Bat & Wildlife Exclusion

Find the gaps Seal them shut

Mice, bats, squirrels and other wildlife get in through gaps you'd never spot. Our exclusion team finds them and seals them shut.

How do you keep mice, bats, squirrels and other wildlife out of your house? Find the gaps and seal them shut. Our exclusion team inspects the roofline, attic, vents and foundation, seals entry points with durable materials, bait or trap mice where needed, and comes back to check the work.

Rodent exclusion

Exclusion, not just traps

Trapping without sealing means the next mouse walks right back in. We fix the why, not just the what.

Inspection

We find where mice, rats, and other wildlife are actually getting in: gaps, vents, soffits, and foundation cracks

Exterior sealing

We close the access points with rodent-proof materials so new pests can't follow the old ones in

Baiting & trapping

We knock down what's already inside with targeted baiting and trapping

Ongoing monitoring

We keep an eye on activity with scheduled follow-ups so we catch any return visitors early

Signs of rodents

  • Droppings in cabinets, basements, or along walls
  • Scratching or gnawing sounds, especially at night
  • Chewed wires, packaging, or furniture
  • Greasy rub marks along baseboards and gaps

Signs of bats

  • Noises at dusk or dawn in the attic or roofline
  • Guano accumulating near entry points
  • Ammonia odor from accumulated waste
  • Stains near rooflines and vents
See bat exclusion

Signs of squirrels

  • Scratching or running sounds in the attic in early morning and late afternoon
  • Chewed holes at roof edges, soffits, fascia, and vents
  • Nesting material gathered in the attic
  • Chewed wires or torn insulation

Signs of wildlife

  • Torn vents or soffits and damaged screens

Why humane bat exclusion matters

Bats are a protected species in Minnesota, so removal can't be a free-for-all. We inspect the attic and roofline, install one-way exits timed to the season so bats can leave but not get back in, then seal every entry point. It's the legal, humane, and lasting way to handle it.

Wildlife exclusion

Squirrels and wildlife in the attic?

As Minnesota cools off in fall and winter, squirrels and other animals look for warm, dry shelter. They can chew wiring and tear insulation.

How Brothers handles it

  • We inspect the roofline, attic, vents, soffits, chimney, and foundation to find every entry point
  • We seal and reinforce openings with durable materials like metal flashing, hardware cloth, and vent covers
  • Where needed, we use one-way exits so animals can leave before the final seal
  • We come back to check the work and make sure nothing has returned

Every wildlife job starts with an inspection, and the office confirms the right approach for your property

Common questions

Do I have to sign a contract?
No rigid contracts. We handle the inspection, sealing, and follow-up monitoring you need, nothing more, nothing less.
Is bat exclusion safe and legal?
Bats are a protected species in Minnesota, so removal can't be a free-for-all. We inspect the attic and roofline, install one-way exits timed to the season so bats can leave but not get back in, then seal every entry point. It's the legal, humane, and lasting way to handle it.
How many visits does it take?
An inspection first, then sealing and trapping, with monitoring follow-ups to catch any return visitors early. We'll tell you honestly how many visits your situation needs.
What's included?
Mice and rat exclusion, rodent-proofing homes and businesses, squirrel and wildlife entry inspection, sealing and reinforcing roofline, vents, and soffits, one-way bat door installation, and seasonal monitoring
Do I need to be home?
For the inspection, yes, so we can show you what we find. Most sealing and monitoring happens outside and around the structure, so you don't need to be there for every visit.
Do you handle squirrels in the attic?
Yes, through inspection and exclusion. We find the entry points, seal them, install one-way exits where needed so squirrels can leave before the final seal, then come back to check the work.
What other wildlife can you keep out?
Squirrels, raccoons, skunks, and other animals that get into attics, under decks, porches, and sheds. The inspection decides the right plan for your property.
How do squirrels get into a house?
Through gaps at roof edges, soffits, fascia, roof and gable vents, chimneys, and spots where siding or trim has gaps. They can chew to widen small openings, which is why sealing matters.
