Repairs & Exclusion: The Long-Term Fix for Repeat Pest Problems
Why Tri-Cities homes get re-infestations—and how sealing entry points stops the cycle.



In the Tri-Cities, seasonal changes push pests indoors, and many homes have common vulnerability zones—crawlspace openings, attic vents, siding transitions, and gaps where plumbing and wiring enter the structure. Once pests find a way in, they’ll reuse the same access points again and again.
Exclusion stops the “repeat visit” problem by addressing the source:
Rodent entry points (tiny gaps that lead into crawlspaces, attics, wall voids, and garages)
Vent and utility openings that aren’t properly screened or sealed
Door/threshold gaps that let pests slip in around side doors and garage doors
Foundation and siding cracks that create hidden highways for insects and mice
At Pest Detectives Pest Control, we don’t just point out problems—we help fix them. Our exclusion work is the bridge between “pest control today” and “pest prevention for the long haul.”
Note: Repair and exclusion work is not part of our regular services, so charges may vary depending on the requirements.

Comprehensive Inspection
We perform a detailed inspection of your property, inside and out—foundation line, crawlspace, attic access, vents, and utility penetrations. We document vulnerabilities and identify the most likely pest pathways.
Customized Exclusion Plan
Every home is different. We create a clear scope of work based on the specific access points we find, plus the pest pressure common in your area (Johnson City, Kingsport, Bristol, and nearby communities).
Professional Sealing & Reinforcement Work
We complete exclusion repairs such as sealing gaps, adding screens to vents, reinforcing weak points, and closing off high-risk openings. This is the core of long-term prevention.
Targeted Prevention Recommendations
We’ll explain what to change to reduce attraction—like moisture issues, cluttered storage zones, food storage, and outdoor conditions near the foundation that encourage pests.
Follow-Up & Ongoing Protection
Exclusion is meant to last. If you have questions after service—or notice new activity—we’re here to help and stand behind our work.
