Animal Proofing : Deck, Shed & Foundation Exclusions

Have there been animals digging under your shed or deck lately?

Did you even go so far as to trap them last year and have new ones move back in this year?

If so, you are not alone.

Animals like opossums, skunks, and groundhogs are cavity dwellers.  When around our man-made structures, these animals often make good use of the opportunities we give them.  A groundhog that has a cozy den under your shed is indeed a happy groundhog.

The Ultimate Prevention for Digging Animals

Rather than trap new offenders year after year, we recommend prevention of these diggers through foundation exclusion. Yes, we can animal-proof buildings from digging animals.

Simply put, we place a durable wire mesh down all along the foundation.   An animal may try to dig under the deck or shed, but it soon meets the resistance of the wire, gives up, and moves on.

This method is the gold standard of the prevention of den diggers like groundhogs and skunks.

Below is a slide show which shows a barn exclusion and the skunk which was captured during one of the digging days.  There will be no more animals going under this barn.

Here is a sunroom which had groundhogs calling it home.  A nice lattice attachment once the wire went in really made it “pop”.
