The team came for a deceased skunk removal same day and at a very reasonable price - they were professional and friendly. Highly recommend!
Super pleased with everything related to our insulation session. The communication was great from the start, they helped me understand what was feasible for insulating my ceiling and what wasn't and when they actually started the work they found some issues that others might not have told me about but they were…
If you have a pest problem, look no further. If you need new insulation, look no further. If you want a really really really great customer experience, you guessed it, look no further. Our experience with Damien has been fantastic from the original outreach, our free consultation, to the exclusion work, follow-ups…
I rarely leave reviews and this one is well overdue. (Our project was completed almost a year now.) We had major issues in our attic from VERY old insulation to an old massive mice infestation. And on top of it, our attic is small and uncomfortable. (We don’t even like going up there.) Exclusive Exclusions removed,…
Damien was AMAZING!!!! Phenomenal communication! Informative and patient with all of our questions. Made sure to address all of our concerns. And gave an excellent referral for some other things that needed to be taken care of in our home. I will definitely be referring him to everyone I know!
Damien is very professional and nice person. Before the work started, he is very patiently to answer my questions. He sent me YouTube videos for comparison of the different type insulations. I am so grateful. It only took 4 hours to get the work done. He cleaned up afterwards. My kids came back home without even…

If you have a pest problem, look no further. If you need new insulation, look no further. If you want a really really really great customer experience, you guessed it, look no further. Our experience with Damien has been fantastic from the original outreach, our free consultation, to the exclusion work, follow-ups and eventually our new insulation install. He is communicative, prompt, informative (I know way more about field mice now than ever before), goes above and beyond, fair and just a really great guy. As new homeowners, we had so many questions and he was helpful in answering them and also counseling us in what to prioritize first. His extensive experience makes him uniquely fit for this role and he takes on hard situations with ease. Reach out to Damien - you will NOT regret it!
I rarely leave reviews and this one is well overdue. (Our project was completed almost a year now.) We had major issues in our attic from VERY old insulation to an old massive mice infestation. And on top of it, our attic is small and uncomfortable. (We don’t even like going up there.) Exclusive Exclusions removed, cleaned, sealed and added new insulation and we haven’t had any issues since. So worth it! Damien and his team were super kind and knowledgeable. If you have a lot of questions (as we did), Damien is happy to answer all of them. He has a long history in extermination and it shows. He will also be very attentive to your concerns and needs. Whether you are looking to do a full restoration of your attic (like us) or doing some exclusion work, Damien is your guy!
Thank you for the kind words Amanda!!! 🙂

Damien is very professional and nice person. Before the work started, he is very patiently to answer my questions. He sent me YouTube videos for comparison of the different type insulations. I am so grateful. It only took 4 hours to get the work done. He cleaned up afterwards. My kids came back home without even noticing all the works had been completed until I showed them some clips. Great job!! Highly recommended.
Damian's knowledge of and experience in the pest control industry and more importantly, pest exclusion, is extensive. We just moved into a new home in a wooded area. After hearing about deer mouse issues from neighbors, we contacted Damian and he sealed our new home to keep any critters from getting in. I'm happy to report that no critters were found inside the house although the mice were seen outside the house. EE was on time, did the work as expected, even on a very cold day, was pleasant and informative. We will continue to use EE to keep our home critter-free. Thank you, Damian!
Wonderful and prompt service. Knowledgeable and readily available. Damien and Bob fixed my problem and also are genuinely nice people. Don’t be fooled by first-list google search companies like ABC Humane. They said our entire attic’s insulation needed to be replaced, which was totally unnecessary. Even as naive homeowners we could see that. ABC also started working on my house without my written or verbally consent! They just started drilling holes on my roof! Go with Exclusive Exclusions (they are going to ‘exclude’ the animals from returning to your home, hence the term). You will be glad.
Fantastic work and extremely knowledgeable!
He was very professional. Gave us notice when he and/or his crew would come ahead of time. He seems to be very knowledgeable and the work was very thorough.
