Nick and Sons Critter Control LLC provides non-structural wildlife repair services in Minnesotafocused on preventing animal re-entry, correcting damage caused by wildlife, and reinforcing vulnerable areas after animal removal.

Our non-structural repairs are designed to work alongside wildlife control, animal removal, and exclusion services and are commonly performed after raccoon, squirrel, or bat activity.

Non-structural wildlife repairs are preventative and exclusion-based repairs that do not involve load-bearing framing or major construction.

These repairs focus on:

• Closing wildlife entry points
• Reinforcing soffits and weak exterior areas
• Preventing repeat animal infestations
• Repairing damage caused by raccoons, squirrels, bats, and other wildlife

📌 We do not perform structural framing, roofing replacement, or foundation work.

Box-in soffit repair is one of the most effective methods for closing open soffit cavities where wildlife commonly enters.

Commonly used for:

• Raccoon soffit damage
• Squirrel soffit entry points
• Open or missing soffit panels
• Repeated wildlife access areas

Benefits:

• Fully encloses exposed soffit openings
• Prevents animals from pulling or prying soffit panels
• Creates a clean, finished appearance
• Long-term wildlife prevention solution

Wood backing is installed behind the soffit material to reinforce weak areas before reinstalling or repairing the soffit.

This repair is strongly recommended after raccoons are caught, because raccoons often return to the same entry points and can easily break through thin soffit material.

Why wood backing matters after raccoon removal:

• Raccoons are powerful and persistent
• Prevents repeat soffit damage
• Strengthens repaired areas without structural changes

Benefits:

• Reinforced soffit protection
• Reduced chance of re-entry
• Longer-lasting wildlife repair solution

This method uses a custom-bent flat piece of flashing installed to close the gap between the roof and the soffit.

These gaps are common entry points for bats, squirrels, birds, and mice.

Best for:

• Roof-to-soffit gaps
• Small but persistent wildlife entry points
• Bat access areas along rooflines

Benefits:

• Discreet and durable repair
• Weather-resistant solution
• Excellent for wildlife exclusion
