What is Pest Exclusion

Pest exclusion is a process of preventing pests from entering your home or business. It involves sealing up any holes, cracks, or gaps that pests could use to get in. Pest exclusion is an important part of any integrated pest management (IPM) program.

Why is pest exclusion important?

Pests can cause a number of problems, including:

• Spreading diseases
• Contaminating food and water
• Damaging property
• Creating a nuisance

Pest exclusion can help to prevent all of these problems. It is also a more environmentally friendly way to control pests than using pesticides.
