Protecting businesses with wildlife & rodent exclusion

Commercial rodent exclusion is a proactive process that seals structural openings to keep pests out of your facility. When rodents or other wildlife enter your building, they can pose significant business risks, including damage to wiring and equipment, contamination of products, and costly operational downtime. Rentokil's commercial wildlife and rodent exclusion services seal both small and large entry points with commercial-grade pest-proofing materials to help prevent pests such as rats, mice, birds, bats, squirrels, and other wildlife from entering your business.

Rentokil’s rodent and wildlife exclusion

A Rentokil expert will inspect your facility to locate vulnerabilities and design a targeted exclusion plan. We use durable pest-proofing products, including our exclusive Flexi Armour™ line and other exclusion materials, to block entry points. Depending on the facility, our solutions include: 

  • Sealing gaps, cracks, and holes the size of a dime or larger 
  • Using door sweeps to close gaps under exterior doors
  • Reviewing loading dock and garage doors to determine the best products for eliminating pest entry points
  • Closing gaps where pipes, cables, and wiring enter the building 
  • Installing vent covers to prevent pest entry through these needed exhaust areas
  • Installing chimney caps or other appropriate covers on chimneys and exhaust pipes to limit potential pest entry
  • Reviewing eaves and gutter lines to seal any potential pest entry points with proper products

What if my business already has a rodent or wildlife problem?

Exclusion is just as valuable when pests are already present. While professional rodent and wildlife control focuses on addressing the active infestation, exclusion helps close off the entry points that allow pests inside. At Rentokil, we can integrate both services into a plan tailored to your facility for more effective wildlife and rodent management.

Flexi Armour™ for pest-proofing your business

As part of our exclusion materials lineup, the Rentokil family of brands is proud to be the exclusive North American provider of Flexi Armour products. The Flexi Armour range consists of various products infused with, or made entirely from, a proprietary knitted steel mesh to create a barrier against rodents, wildlife, and other pests. These products fall into three categories:

Door and loading dock solutions

Doors and loading docks are frequent access points for pests. These solutions help reinforce high-traffic areas and close gaps that could allow rodents and other pests inside.

Building solutions

Flexi Armour building solutions help secure vulnerable openings throughout your facility, including large, irregularly shaped, or hard-to-reach areas.

Multi-purpose solutions

These versatile materials can be used to seal small gaps, reinforce openings, and protect ground or landscaping areas that may allow pests to gain access.

Unlike traditional materials that rodents may chew through or damage, Flexi Armour is designed to resist gnawing while remaining flexible enough to seal a variety of openings.

Weather exposure, structural changes, and everyday wear can affect how long exclusion materials last and how often your facility needs to be reinspected. Your Rentokil technician can recommend how often your facility should be reinspected based on its condition and level of pest activity.
