What Is Exclusion?
Exclusion is a proactive and humane wildlife control method focused on long-term prevention. Instead of simply removing animals, exclusion targets the cause of the intrusion—by finding and sealing all potential access points. This process blocks wildlife from entering or returning to a structure, eliminating access to shelter, food, or nesting areas.
At Stellar Wildlife Solutions LLC, we use exclusion to provide safe, lasting protection for your property while preventing future wildlife issues before they start.

Custom Metal Fabrications
Not all wildlife problems can be solved with off-the-shelf materials. That’s why Stellar Wildlife Solutions provides custom metal fabrications to seal off complex or vulnerable areas around your home—ensuring a permanent and durable solution.
Why Custom Fabrication Matters:
- Tailored to your home’s structure—perfect for odd angles, rooflines, gaps, or damaged areas.
- Creates long-term protection where animals have chewed, torn, or forced entry.
- Blends seamlessly with existing materials for a clean, professional finish.
- Fabricated using galvanized steel, aluminum, or powder-coated materials depending on the job.
From soffit corners and roof returns to gable peaks and fascia repairs, we craft and install custom-fit solutions that standard hardware can’t match.
Attic Remediation
Wildlife infestations—especially bats, squirrels, and raccoons—often leave behind contaminated droppings (guano), urine, nesting materials, and damaged insulation. After successful exclusion, Stellar Wildlife Solutions offers full attic remediation services to restore your space safely and thoroughly.
What Our Attic Remediation Includes:
- Removal of soiled insulation and contaminated materials.
- Safe guano and feces cleanup using proper PPE and sanitation protocols.
- Odor and bacteria neutralization with approved disinfectants.
- Replacement with clean, high-efficiency insulation to improve energy performance and restore attic health.
We follow state and industry standards to ensure the attic is cleaned, sanitized, and reinsulated—leaving no trace of wildlife activity behind.
Ridge Vent Guard
Ridge vent guard is installed along the peak of your roof and is designed to provide continuous ventilation for your attic space. This system helps release heat and moisture, keeping your home energy-efficient while also preventing mold growth and potential roof damage.
However, most ridge vents are not designed with wildlife exclusion in mind. Over time, exposure to wind, snow, and general wear can loosen the ridge vent or create small gaps along the roofline. These gaps may be just large enough for animals to gain entry into your attic space.
To protect your home, we install high-quality, critter-resistant ridge vent guards that maintain proper airflow while effectively keeping out unwanted wildlife.
- Professionally installed.
- Maintains attic ventilation.
- Helps safeguard your home from unwanted wildlife like bats, rodents, raccoons, birds, and other attic invaders.
Gable Vent Exclusion & Wildlife Prevention
Gable vents are designed to help ventilate your attic by allowing hot, moist air to escape. While they serve an important purpose, they can also become an open invitation for wildlife if left unprotected.
Over time, weather and age can weaken the vent materials—or some vents are never properly screened to begin with. This creates an easy access point for animals looking for shelter. At Stellar Wildlife Solutions, we regularly find gable vents being used by:
Bats – Can squeeze through openings as small as 3/8 inch.
Squirrels—Known to chew through plastic or wood vent covers.
Birds—often nest behind louvers, causing blockages and mess.
Raccoons—strong enough to tear open vents with their paws.
Once inside, these animals can cause damage to insulation, chew wiring, and leave behind hazardous droppings.
