Exclusion Services in Burlington, VT
Prevent Pests from Entering Your Home or Business
Pests pose a significant risk to both property and health. Rodents alone are responsible for 20-25% of all electrical fires in the U.S., according to PestWorld. In attics, basements, crawl spaces, and other hidden areas, rodents can chew on wires, causing appliances to short-circuit or generate heat where it shouldn’t, creating serious fire hazards. Wildlife activity can also compromise insulation, reducing energy efficiency and creating unsanitary conditions.
At The Eliminator Pest & Property Service, we offer comprehensive exclusion services designed to protect your Burlington, VT property from rodents, bats, and other nuisance wildlife. Our programs are customized to fit the specific needs of your home or business, rather than relying on cookie-cutter solutions.

Attic Exclusion and Remediation in Burlington
A common area for wildlife intrusion is the attic. In one inspection, we found that a Burlington attic had two layers of fiberglass insulation with rodent tunneling and droppings throughout. This compromised the insulation’s R-value, originally R38, well below the R60 recommended for Vermont homes.
Exclusion in this attic involved:
- Removing contaminated insulation and nests
- Disinfecting the attic to eliminate pheromone trails left by rodents and bats
- Air sealing gaps to prevent entry from the exterior or into living spaces
- Rescreening gable vents and sealing gaps around the chimney
- Installing proper baffles to maintain soffit ventilation
- Installing fire-resistant Rockwool insulation around the chimney and building a retaining wall around attic access
These measures prevent rodents and bats from re-entering the attic while restoring energy efficiency. Similar approaches are applied to other areas where wildlife or pests may seek harborage.
Basement and Crawl Space Exclusion
Exclusion services aren’t limited to attics. Basements, crawl spaces, and rim joists are common entry points for rodents. At a Burlington property, we found a lower basement rim joist without insulation, offering easy access for pests and air leaks.
Our services include:
- Vacuuming and disinfecting the area
- Installing foam board and fire- and rodent-resistant Rockwool insulation
- Air sealing gaps, penetrations, and exterior access points
- Encapsulation and installation of dehumidifiers where crawl spaces are prone to moisture
These steps create a strong thermal barrier, help maintain consistent indoor air temperatures, and prevent future wildlife intrusion.
Commercial Exclusion Services
Businesses face unique challenges with pest exclusion, particularly in older structures, warehouses, and multi-unit buildings.
We provide:
- Detailed inspections to identify entry points and vulnerable areas
- Exclusion of rodents, bats, and other nuisance wildlife from basements, attics, and storage areas
- Air sealing and insulation upgrades where needed
- Recommendations for ongoing monitoring and maintenance to protect commercial operations
Our approach minimizes operational disruption while addressing pest and wildlife threats comprehensively.
