What is foundation and crawl space sealing?
At Nature Shield, we specialize in the control, prevention, and legally compliant removal of pests. Foundation and crawl space sealing is one of several services we offer to protect properties and their owners. The aim is to prevent pests from entering your home via the crawl space and foundations of your building.
There are various elements that make up foundation and crawl space sealing. These include:
Foundation gap sealing: Sealing gaps, cracks, and holes in the foundation to shut off entry and exit points
Vent and lattice sealing: Closing vents and sealing lattice panels to shield against pests and block entry points
Moisture and odor control: Improving moisture regulation and eliminating odors
Wildlife barrier installation: Providing a strong, physical barrier against pests
Insulation and protective sealing: Insulating the space to enhance energy efficiency and reduce heat loss
These steps help to address weaknesses, add strong and robust physical barriers against pests, and create environments that don't cater to the preferences of unwanted intruders, such as rats and insects.
Why is foundation and crawl space sealing important?
Foundation and crawl space sealing is a form of wildlife exclusion. It involves sealing your foundation and crawl space to provide a physical barrier between your home and rodents and other pests.
While crawl spaces may be an area homeowners forget about, they make fantastic nests and bases for pests to thrive. They're moist, dark, and secluded, providing a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle of the heart of the home. If left alone, pest infestations can pose serious risks to your health and increase the risk of damage to your property.
Benefits of foundation and crawl space sealing
Crawl space sealing goes beyond pest prevention. It offers additional benefits for you as a homeowner, including better energy efficiency and moisture regulation. It also gives you something money can't buy - peace of mind that your crawl space isn't offering a golden ticket to a comfy new nest for pests within your home.
There are many reasons to consider rodent-proofing crawl spaces with Nature Shield, including reducing the risk of pest infestations such as rodents and insects, protecting your home from damage caused by pests, and improving moisture control. Sealing gaps and cracks and adding insulation can also increase energy efficiency and enhance air quality within your home. Most importantly, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your property has been protected with a thorough inspection and prevention plan from Nature Shield.
Crawl space pest infestations: Red flags to look out for

If you're anxious or you have any questions or concerns, it's always best to contact pest control professionals as quickly as possible.

What are the risks of foundation and crawl space infestations?
If you have gaps, cracks, or holes in your crawl space, this can make it easy for pests, such as rodents, to access your home. The longer they have free rein to come and go, the higher the risks of damage to your property and negative health effects.
Risks of pest infestations in your home include:
Health issues
Preventing health issues is the most important reason to prevent or tackle pest infestations for most homeowners. It's natural to want to protect your family.
Pest infestations can elevate the risk of diseases carried by pests and make symptoms of existing conditions, such as asthma, worse. Having pests in your home can also put you at risk of problems caused by contamination. If you're preparing food on a contaminated surface, for example, you could contract illnesses due to exposure to harmful viruses or bacteria.
Structural damage
We all want our homes to be safe places where we feel comfortable and relaxed. Pests can be a major risk to our homes in terms of the structural integrity of the building. Infestations can lead to substantial damage, which is not only costly to repair but also impacts safety.
