A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A WILDLIFE EXCLUSION TECH
As a Wildlife Exclusion Tech, you help Central Florida residents reclaim their homes! When someone calls us in a panic because of a raccoon, squirrel, or rat infestation, you're the person who comes to their rescue! Clients feel reassured as you knowledgeably answer their questions and take control of the situation. As a trained professional, you know exactly what to do: you set strategically placed traps to capture and remove the critters. Employing recommended safety precautions, you humanely transport squirrels and raccoons to an appropriate location and release them back into the wild.
Once the animals have been removed, you move on to the exclusion process. Observant and thorough, you inspect the property to identify active and potential entry points. You leave nothing to chance, carefully examining the building by going on rooftops and crawl spaces. Next, you properly seal any weak spots to protect the residence from future infestations by sealing up the home with sheet metal, concrete and hardware cloth. When necessary, you place rodent monitoring stations on the property to keep the exterior population under control. You great find satisfaction in helping our clients resolve their wildlife issues, and their gratitude is immensely rewarding!
