Removing an animal without addressing the opening can leave the property vulnerable to repeat activity. GEN 126 looks for the construction details, damaged materials, gaps, vents, and accessible pathways that may be contributing
to the problem.
EXCLUSION
& PREVENTION
COMMON WORK AREAS
Exterior vents and vent covers
Soffits and fascia
Roofline and flashing gaps
Siding, trim, and accessible exterior materials
Crawl-space openings
Garage, shed, and storage access
Utility penetrations and other accessible gaps
The objective
Identify practical ways to reduce access while respecting ventilation, drainage, building function, applicable codes, and the possibility of animals still being inside.
GEN 126 may perform light exclusion and repair work within its approved scope. Roofing, structural, electrical, extensive HVAC, or specialty work may require an appropriately licensed contractor.
