No Roof Vent is 100% Animal Proof.

Your roof is supposed to protect you and your family from the weather and, hopefully, unwanted animals in the attic. When you have a leak in your roof or hear loud animal sounds in the attic, you must hire professional roofers or nuisance wildlife control operators to repair the leak or remove the animal as soon as possible. If you do not repair the leak, your home can get damaged. This will make your home more prone to future leaks and rot that turn into easy entry points for nuisance wildlife, leading to more damage inside your roof’s attic space.

Roofers VS Wildlife Control

Roof Repairs & Wildlife Prevention is a significant investment for homeowners. Knowing the difference between a roofer, a contractor, and a wildlife control technician is important before hiring one for your particular situation.

🏠 A roofer installs and repairs roofs, gutters, and downspouts.

🦝 Wildlife control experts may also repair roof damage created by squirrels and raccoons. Still, they are more likely to be involved in installing prevention measures to stop animal damage before it happens.

What’s the best way to decide who to call first, a roofer or wildlife control, if it’s not obvious? You don’t want to pay inspection fees to the wrong company, so it’s best to speak with friends, neighbours, and family members who have had similar roofing or animal issues with a wildlife invasion or roofing issues.

Roof Repair & Wildlife Damage Repairs: Who To Hire First

A Few Scenarios That May Trigger You To Hire Wildlife Control or Pest Control

You find a roof vent on the ground but don’t know if you need a roofer or wildlife control.

Wrong: You hire a roofer because you assume the wind blew off the roof vent, and the roofer will agree and fix or replace the vent. They want to collect their services charge and not waste time, but they’re potentially locking the animal inside the attic.

Right: If you hire wildlife removal experts, they will inform you that vents are designed to withstand strong gusts of wind but not raccoons which is nine times out of 10 the reason vent caps are separated from the base of the vent allowing access to the attic.

If the base & cap of the whole vent are still attached and it’s on the ground, this might result from wind and bad roofing. If the roofers missed a few nails when installing a vent, a gust of wind could lift the base and flip it over. The same thing happens to shingles if the roofers do not peel off the plastic strips on the bottom edge of each shingle before installing them. The top shingle can’t stick to the bottom shingle if the plastic strip is covering the tar. Removing this plastic strip must be an annoying, tedious part of shingling a roof because so many roofs are like this,, and it is the # 1 reason shingles blow off roofs.

• Broken or whole shingles are found on the ground – Bits of broken shingles visible on the roof from the ground result from raccoons. When they target the usual weak spots on a roof, they may not always get inside the attic space, but there will still be damage to repair. If you hire a wildlife control company, they will know if the damaged area is an entry hole that needs a specialized one-way door exit installed before the repair.

• Occasional noise inside or outside the roof – Pest control is usually who to call for occasional noise since raccoons and squirrels are usually consistent with noise and have a routine of coming in and out for food and water. You may call a roofer first or wildlife control for this to check for damage. Since you’ve never had rat or mouse problems inside the living space, you might think it can’t be a pest issue.

Roof Repair From Wildlife Damage Is A Costly Issue For Homeowners.

The cost factors of hiring a wildlife control service to fix and prevent another wildlife problem are:

– Type of material needed to prevent wild animal damage (heavy gauge wire mesh, sheet metal, drip-edge, wire roof vent covers to fit over the top of the existing metal and plastic roof vents, one-way doors for safe removal)

Dead Animals – Animals get stuck inside attics when roofers lock them inside by repairing entry holes without installing one-way doors. You might think you’re saving money by hiring a roofer instead of wildlife control experts. Still, the cost of removing dead animals or repairing more damage could significantly increase if this happens.

Wildlife Removal Roof Repair Timelines

How long does it take for all the animals to leave the attic and for the follow-up visit to fix the damage to the roof?

In many cases, the animals are out within a couple of days and the damaged part of the roof can be fixed quickly. If a roof has an area of missing shingles or a hole in the roof vent, this can be replaced or fixed with a quick patchwork job. However, it may need to be replaced if there is extensive damage to the roof vent from raccoons or squirrels‘ chewing holes.
