The Home Perimeter Barrier & Exclusion Plan

Exclusion is the only pest control measure that does not wear off, does not need renewing and does not care about resistance. A sealed gap is sealed in ten years.

What's inside

• What fits through what — gap sizes for termites, ants, cockroaches, mice, rats, bats and wasps
• Landscape and grounds: the inspection band, mulch depth, clearances and reservoirs
• Grade and drainage, treated as exclusion work rather than as a separate job
• The wall: clearances, penetrations and joints, sealed in the right order
• Every opening covered — doors, garage, windows, vents, soffits, chimney and utility boxes
• Why you must never seal an active wildlife entry
• The roofline, and the eave gaps visible only from inside the attic
• Materials and where each one belongs, including the three details that decide durability
• A weekend sequence that avoids re-opening finished work
• A materials-versus-contracted budget table
• A printable exclusion checklist

Who it's for

Homeowners who would rather spend a weekend and a few hundred dollars now than a treatment contract later.
