Our Exclusion and Repair Services
- Animal Proofing and Exclusion Sealing every gap, crack, and entry point that wildlife and pests use to access your home using professional-grade materials built to withstand re-entry attempts.
- Animal Damage Repair Repairing damage to structures caused by wildlife, including soffits, fascia, roofing, siding, vents, and ductwork that animals have torn apart, chewed through, or crushed.
- Attic Restoration Removing contaminated insulation, deodorizing the space, and restoring your attic after wildlife infestations have left behind droppings, urine, nesting material, and damaged insulation.
- Dead Animal Removal Locating and removing dead animals from walls, crawlspaces, attics, and other areas of your home, plus treatments to eliminate odor and contaminated material.
- Pest-Blok Exclusion material designed specifically for sealing out pests and wildlife in areas where ventilation is required and traditional building materials fall short.
Why Exclusion Matters
Most pest control and wildlife removal companies stop at trapping or treatment. The animal is gone, but the hole it used to get in is still there. The damaged soffit is still hanging open. The contaminated insulation is still in your attic. That leaves your home vulnerable to the next animal that comes along, and in East Tennessee, there's always a next one.
Critter Wranglers is built differently. Our technicians are trained in both wildlife removal and pest control, and they're also skilled in the carpentry, sealing, and restoration work required to finish the job. That means one company handles everything from identifying the animal to removing it, sealing your home, repairing what it damaged, and cleaning up what it left behind.
How Exclusion and Repair Works
Inspection
During every wildlife or pest inspection, we identify not just the animal but every entry point, vulnerable area, and existing damage on your property. This gives you a complete picture before any work begins.
Removal First
In most cases we remove the animal or set traps before beginning exclusion work. Sealing an animal inside your home creates a far worse problem than leaving the entry point open temporarily.
Seal, Repair, and Restore
Once the animal is gone, we seal entry points with professional-grade materials, repair damage, and address any contaminated materials or insulation damage in the affected areas.
Prevention
We'll identify areas of your home that aren't yet compromised but could become entry points in the future, and we'll recommend proactive steps to keep your home sealed long-term.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need exclusion work after wildlife removal?
In almost every case, yes. If an animal got into your home once, another will find the same opening. Exclusion seals those entry points permanently. We include an exclusion assessment with every wildlife removal inspection so you know exactly what's needed.
Can you repair the damage animals caused, or do I need a separate contractor?
In most cases we can handle it. Our team includes skilled technicians who can repair soffits, fascia, roofing, siding, vents, and other elements of the structure that wildlife has damaged. You don't need to coordinate between a wildlife company and a general contractor.
How long does exclusion and repair take?
It depends on the scope. A straightforward entry point seal-up can be completed in a single visit. More extensive work involving multiple repair areas, attic restoration, or whole-home exclusion may take several days. We provide a clear timeline and estimate before any work begins.
Is exclusion included in the cost of wildlife removal?
Exclusion and repair are quoted separately from the trapping and removal work. We provide a detailed estimate for each component so you know exactly what you're paying for and why.
