At MN Pest Elimination, we’ve been tackling Minnesota’s pest problems since 2025, and our exclusion services are the backbone of keeping homes and businesses pest-free. Pests—mice, ants, squirrels, bats, birds—don’t just wander in for a visit; they exploit every crack, gap, or weak spot to set up shop. In Minnesota, where weather swings from humid summers to icy winters, those entry points widen, making exclusion a must. We’re not here to slap on a quick fix; our goal is to build a lasting barrier that stops pests before they start, saving you the headache of infestations. With no cancellation fees, we’re all about results you can trust.
Exclusion isn’t just a buzzword—it’s pest control’s first line of defense. Traps and treatments knock out active pests, but exclusion keeps new ones from replacing them. Minnesota’s mix of rural woods and urban edges draws a crowd—rodents seeking warmth, insects chasing food, wildlife nesting in attics. Our approach flips the script: instead of reacting, we prevent. Think of it as pest-proofing your property, sealing it tight so you don’t need us as often. That’s the beauty—we do it right, and pests stay out for the long haul.
Why Exclusion Matters
Pests aren’t picky—they’ll take any invite. In Minnesota, our homes and businesses face unique pressures. Freeze-thaw cycles crack foundations, summer rains rot wood, and wind loosens siding—each a pest’s dream doorway. Mice slip through dime-sized holes, ants march through hairline fissures, and bats squeeze into quarter-inch gaps. Once inside, they chew wires, ruin insulation, or leave droppings—costing you repairs or health risks. Exclusion stops that cycle. Here’s why it’s a game-changer:
Cost Savings: Fewer infestations mean less damage and fewer service calls.
Peace of Mind: No more wondering what’s scurrying in your walls.
Eco-Friendly: Less reliance on treatments—it’s prevention over reaction.Our Minnesota team gets these challenges—we’ve seen how pests exploit them, and we’re here to shut them down.
How We Make It Happen
Our exclusion process is no guesswork—it’s a science we’ve honed since day one. We start with a deep inspection, scoping every inch of your property—foundation to roof—for pest entry points. Mice love crawlspaces, birds target vents, wasps hit eaves—we find them all. Then, we customize the fix, using the right materials and methods for your setup. We’re not just sealing; we’re fortifying. If pests are already inside, we pair exclusion with trapping or treatments—DNR-certified for wildlife like squirrels or bats—to clear them out before locking the door. It’s fast, thorough, and built to last through Minnesota’s seasons.
We don’t stop at the fix—prevention’s part of the deal. We’ll point out risks—like branches near roofs for squirrels or standing water for mosquitoes—and suggest easy tweaks. Our plans flex with you—one-time jobs or ongoing checks—with no cancellation fees tying you down. Minnesota pests don’t rest; neither do we. From attics to basements, we’ve got the know-how to keep your space a no-pest zone.
Our Exclusion Toolbox
At MN Pest Elimination, we’ve got a lineup of materials to tackle any pest entry—each picked for Minnesota’s tough conditions. Here’s what we bring to the fight:
Concrete: Cracks in slabs or foundations? We fill them with high-strength sealants or patches, blocking mice, ants, or roaches. It’s tough enough for Minnesota’s freeze-thaw wear, keeping pests out where they’d burrow.
Hardware Cloth: This galvanized steel mesh—quarter-inch or half-inch holes—covers vents, eaves, or soffits. Squirrels can’t chew it, birds can’t peck through, and it resists rust in our snowy winters—a pest-proof wall.
Flashing: Metal strips—aluminum or steel—seal rooflines, siding joints, and corners. Ants, mice, and wasps hit a dead end, and it holds up to Minnesota’s wind and ice, doubling as a weather shield.
Copper Mesh: Flexible and chew-proof, we stuff this into cracks or pipe gaps—mice hate it, roaches can’t pass. Rust-free, it’s perfect for Minnesota’s damp basements or old homes, often paired with sealant for extra punch.
Silicone: This waterproof sealant flows into window frames, door gaps, or foundation cracks—ants and spiders don’t stand a chance. Flexible for Minnesota’s shifting seasons, it’s a subtle, lasting fix.
Wood: Treated lumber patches chewed siding or reinforces decks—carpenter ants and woodpeckers get stopped. It blends with your home and resists Minnesota’s rot-inducing rains, keeping pests at bay.
Each material’s a tool in our kit—chosen for the pest, the spot, and Minnesota’s climate. We don’t mess with one-size-fits-all; our exclusions match your needs, whether it’s a bird in the vent or a mouse in the wall.

The Minnesota Difference
Minnesota’s pests don’t play fair—our exclusion services level the field. From rural cabins to city storefronts, we’ve seen how our state’s seasons and landscapes fuel pest pressures. Summer humidity brings ants and wasps; winter cold drives mice and bats inside. Our exclusions aren’t just fixes—they’re built for that cycle, using materials like concrete or copper mesh to outlast the elements. We know the stakes—a chewed wire’s a fire risk, a bat colony’s a health mess—so we don’t cut corners.
At MN Pest Elimination, we’re here to make your space yours again—no pests invited. Our exclusion services are about more than sealing gaps; they’re about giving you control. With a team that’s lived Minnesota’s pest battles, we bring street-smarts and pro-grade solutions.
