Every pest problem starts the same way: something finds a way in. A gap under a door, a crack around a pipe, an open vent, a loose soffit. Pest exclusion is the fix that lasts — instead of spraying to kill pests after they're inside, we find the openings mice, rats, squirrels, and insects use to get in, and seal them off for good. It's prevention over treatment, which means less need for chemicals and fewer surprises inside your home.
What is pest exclusion?
Exclusion is the practice of sealing a building's entry points so pests and small wildlife can't get inside in the first place. It's the most natural pest control there is, because a sealed home needs far fewer chemical treatments to stay pest-free. Done right — with the right materials — it's also the longest-lasting.
How LockOut exclusion works
We start with a thorough inspection of your home, inside and out, to find both the obvious entry points and the ones most homeowners never spot. Then we seal them with durable, professional-grade copper mesh built to stand up to Alabama weather and determined rodents. When small wildlife is already inside, we get them out the humane way — never poison, never traps. The result is a home that keeps pests where they belong: outside.
Humane, no-kill wildlife exclusion
We don't poison your problem. We show it the door and lock it behind them.
For small wildlife like squirrels, we install one-way exclusion doors that let the animal leave on its own and never get back in. It's the same principle behind everything we do: solve the problem without harming the creatures that keep our world running. Once they're out, we seal the entry for good.
Professional grade materials: chew-proof and chemical-free
Most companies stuff a gap with cheap expanding foam that rodents chew right back through in a season. We don't. LockOut seals with copper mesh, steel and other chew-proof, rust-proof, chemical-free barriers that actually hold. No harsh chemicals, no rusting, no re-entry. It's why we can stand behind our work for years, not weeks.

Two Levels of Protection
Targeted LockOut
Dealing with a specific problem? We'll pinpoint and seal the exact entry point letting pests or wildlife in — a focused, cost-effective fix for the issue at hand. Backed by our 2-year craftsmanship warranty, so the work holds.
Whole Home LockOut
Want the strongest protection we offer? We seal your entire structure top to bottom, closing off every vulnerability we find — not just today's problem, but tomorrow's too. Backed by our 3-year whole-home warranty covering the full structure.
Better together
LockOut works best alongside our ongoing pest prevention. Sealing the entry points keeps new pests out, while our residential pest program protects the perimeter — together, they're the closest thing to a pest-free home you'll find, with the smallest possible chemical footprint.
