Universal Pest & Termite

Hampton Roads' wildlife & pest exclusion experts

Exclusion sealing is performed in coordination with Universal Pest & Termite β€” our Total Home Health sister company specializing in rodent trapping, wildlife removal, and permanent exclusion across Hampton Roads. We handle the insulation restoration; they handle the animals and the entry points. Together, it's a complete solution from one coordinated team.

Who Handles Wildlife Exclusion?

Wildlife exclusion identifies and closes openings animals use to enter a home. Universal Pest & Termite handles trapping, wildlife removal, and entry-point exclusion. Universal Insulation Doctor does not trap animals or seal entry points; our team can inspect and restore insulation after the pest work is complete.

Entry conditions vary by property. The pest contractor inspects the home, identifies any animal-access concerns, and recommends the appropriate pest-control scope before insulation restoration begins.

Without exclusion, the same animals β€” or new ones β€” will return to the same entry points within weeks of removal. Exclusion is the only permanent solution.

Mice (can enter through gaps as small as ΒΌ inch)
Rats (roof rats and Norway rats are common in Hampton Roads)
Squirrels (frequently enter through damaged soffits and roof edges)
Raccoons (exploit attic vents and uncapped chimneys)
Opossums and other wildlife entering crawl spaces
Birds nesting in vents and eave gaps

Have squirrels in the attic? See our squirrel removal and attic restoration guide.

How Pest Work and Insulation Restoration Are Coordinated

Pest Inspection

Universal Pest & Termite assesses the property and identifies active animal and entry concerns.

Pest-Control Work

The sister pest-control company handles animal removal and entry-point work under its own service scope.

Insulation Restoration

After pest work, Universal Insulation Doctor can inspect affected insulation and discuss removal, cleaning, and replacement.

Insulation Restoration After Pest Work

Universal Insulation Doctor does not provide trapping or entry-point sealing. After the pest-control work is complete, our insulation team can assess affected material and provide a separate scope for insulation removal, cleaning, and replacement where appropriate.

"Called for an attic inspection after noticing our upstairs was always hot in summer. Their technician found the old insulation was way below code and partially wet. They removed it, treated the attic, and re-insulated everything. House feels completely different now."

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Universal Insulation Doctor provide wildlife trapping or exclusion?

No. Trapping, wildlife removal, and entry-point exclusion are handled by our sister company, Universal Pest & Termite. Universal Insulation Doctor handles insulation assessment and restoration after pest work.

What happens after pest-control work is complete?

We can inspect the attic or crawl-space insulation, document damage, and discuss removal, cleaning, or replacement options where appropriate.

Will insulation replacement prevent wildlife from returning?

Insulation work alone does not seal animal entry points. Any trapping and exclusion needs to be handled separately by a qualified pest-control provider before insulation restoration.

Which Hampton Roads areas do you serve for insulation restoration?

We serve Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Hampton, Newport News, and nearby Hampton Roads communities. Contact us to confirm service availability for your address.
