Wildlife intrusion in Cle Elum typically follows the same pattern: an animal finds a gap in the roofline, soffit, or foundation and moves in for shelter. A mix of older wood-frame homes and newer suburban construction, many without air conditioning given the historically mild summers, and prone to moisture issues given the rain. Humane, one-way exclusion is the standard approach so animals can leave but not re-enter.
Our process begins with an inspection to confirm the species — raccoon, squirrel, bat, or bird all require different handling — and to check for young that would need to be accounted for before exclusion. Humane one-way devices are the standard approach, followed by permanent sealing of the entry point once the space is confirmed empty.
