Fixing What Wildlife Left Behind

Wildlife damage repair services in the Media, PA area for homeowners dealing with property intrusion.

When animals find their way into your home in Media, Brookhaven, Glenn Mills, or a surrounding area, they often leave behind chewed vents, torn siding, and gaps along the roofline that need more than a quick patch. You may notice daylight showing through where a soffit meets the fascia, or insulation pushed aside in the attic where something nested. Delaware County Animal Control repairs the structural damage caused by wildlife entry and nesting activity so your home is sealed and protected again.


The work includes repairing entry points animals used to access your attic or crawlspace, replacing damaged materials around vents and siding, and closing roof gaps that could allow future access. This service complements wildlife removal and trapping by addressing the physical vulnerabilities animals exploited. The team is familiar with construction styles found throughout Delaware County, including older homes with layered additions and wood trim that animals can easily compromise.

Closing access points animals created or widened

The repair process begins with an assessment of the areas where animals entered or nested, which in Media often includes roof edges, gable vents, and gaps under eaves. You can expect the team to remove damaged materials, clean affected surfaces, and install new components that match the existing structure as closely as possible. Metal flashing, wire mesh, and treated wood are commonly used depending on what the animal damaged.


After the work is done, you will see sealed vents, intact siding, and closed gaps where animals previously had access. The repaired areas should blend with the rest of your home and hold up to weather without creating new openings. This work supports long-term protection of the property by eliminating the vulnerabilities wildlife used to get inside.


The service does not include full exterior renovation or cosmetic upgrades beyond what is needed to secure the home. If animals caused damage in multiple areas, the team will prioritize entry points and structural concerns first, then move to secondary damage if needed. This work naturally pairs with exclusion methods to keep your home secure going forward.

You likely have questions about what gets fixed

Homeowners often want to know what the repair will look like, how long it takes, and whether it will stop animals from coming back, so the following questions address those concerns directly.

What types of damage does this service repair?
The service repairs chewed vents, damaged siding, roof gaps, and other entry points animals created or widened. It also addresses nesting damage in attics and crawlspaces when structural components are affected.
How long does wildlife damage repair take?
Most repairs are completed in a few hours depending on the number of entry points and the materials involved. Larger projects that require custom fabrication or multiple roof access points may take longer.
What materials are used to close entry points?
The team uses metal flashing, galvanized wire mesh, treated wood, and exterior-grade sealants depending on the location and type of damage. Materials are selected to withstand weather and resist future animal activity.
When should I schedule this service?
You should schedule wildlife damage repair after animals have been removed or excluded from your home. Repairing entry points while animals are still inside can trap them or cause them to create new damage trying to escape.
Will the repairs match my home's appearance?
The team matches materials and colors as closely as possible to your existing structure. While the focus is on function and durability, repairs are done with attention to how they blend with the surrounding areas.
