Can sealing my crawlspace keep animals out?

Pest control experts say crawl spaces are inherently attractive to animals because they offer shelter, easy access to water sources (like standing water or leaky pipes), and relatively cozy nesting sites. Additionally, crawl spaces are often poorly ventilated and damp, creating a perfect environment for mold growth, which can attract even more pests like termites and roaches.

So how does sealing your crawl space help? Here are just some benefits of a sealed crawlspace from LiveGreen:

• Moisture Control: A sealed crawl space is a dry crawl space. By eliminating moisture through vapor barriers and encapsulation techniques (which essentially involve lining the crawl space walls and floor with a heavy-duty plastic sheet), you’re making your crawl space a much less hospitable environment for moisture-loving pests.
• Rodent Deterrence: Rodents like mice and rats need to feel safe and secure when building their nests. When LiveGreen seals up any cracks or holes in your crawl space foundation, we eliminate easy access points for pests, and discourages them from making your home theirs.
• Overall Pest Prevention: A sealed crawl space isn’t just about keeping out furry foes. Sealing also helps to prevent insects and other pests from entering and settling up house under your home by eliminating entry points and hiding spots.
