What is Pest Exclusion?
Pest exclusion is an essential preventive method that focuses on sealing off the vulnerable points pests use to invade your premises. From wall cracks to poorly sealed pipes and outlets, these are the hidden gateways into your business for pests – especially tiny insects like ants.

Choosing pest exclusion or proofing with Terminix Anderson means you’re opting for a structured, effective approach tailored to your specific business needs. Our comprehensive process involves:

Commercial Pest Proofing vs Exclusion
Although both pest proofing and exclusion serve as preemptive strikes against potential infestations, they do have their nuances.
Pest proofing involves broader strategies to keep pests out, such as implementing structural repairs or utilizing chemical barriers. In contrast, exclusion focuses on sealing specific entry points pests might use to infiltrate your premises.
Our seasoned Terminix Anderson specialists come equipped with the knowledge and tools necessary to identify these weak points and seal them up effectively, ensuring that pests don’t find an entryway into your business.
DIY Pest Proofing & Exclusion Strategies
In combination with professional pest control, there are some immediate DIY steps you and your staff can take. Here are some handy tips for a can-do approach to pest exclusion and proofing:
- Grab some caulk and weather-stripping and get sealing. Look for any cracks, gaps, and openings around doors, windows, or where utility lines enter your establishment.
- Make sure all food sources are sealed and garbage is taken out promptly. If you don’t feed them, they might eventually stop coming around.
- Keep up with cleanliness. Regular cleaning schedules can keep pests from getting cozy. Clutter-free spaces also leave fewer spots for critters to hide.
- Fix leaky faucets and pipes. Pests like a good water source as much as anyone, but don’t make it easy for them.
- Trim any bushes or trees that act like bridges to your business. Pests use vegetation to climb and get around where they want to go.
- Secure trash bins with tight-fitting lids. You don’t want your garbage to become a food source.
Executing these tips will bring some temporary relief, but you might miss the nuances that come with years of professional pest control. Terminix Anderson exterminators face pest challenges daily in businesses from various industries.
