Exclusion vs. Trapping
Trapping
What's wrong with trapping?
Trapping and relocating wildlife in the state of California is illegal. Any operators who offer trapping services are legally required to euthanize the animal. Often utilizing the most affordable options for euthanizing animals, this process is usually done inhumanely. With practical and humane solutions to evicting wildlife, euthanizing trapped, healthy animals is a needless act.
Remember, trapping and euthanizing an animal is likely only a temporary fix. Leaving areas open and accessible to wildlife will just make room for more wildlife to move in. Sealing off areas correctly and humanely guarantees that your issues will be solved for the long term.
Wildlife plays an extremely important role in the health and wellbeing of our local ecosystems. Often keeping pest populations, such as rats, mice and insects, under control, wildlife can be very beneficial to humans as well. Preventing animals from entering your home through exclusion services is a win, win for both you and wildlife. Excluding them humanely will not only solve your issues with lasting results, but it will keep our natural areas healthy.

Exclusion
Exclusion is the humane and life-oriented approach to pest control. Techniques are applied to remove intrusive animals and prevent future use of your building or home by wildlife. Rather than trap and relocate animals, which is illegal and can expose wildlife to diseases and territorial conflicts, AWES technicians identify how an animal is getting in and seals points of entry without trapping the animal inside.
The solution motivates the animal to leave the property and reduces the likelihood of other animals getting in.
Exclusion is ultimately more effective, more economical, and far more humane than most other services. We focus on the main issues, getting the animal out and sealing of the entry points to keep wildlife from returning.
