Armor Shield Installations

Pestex offers three options for Armor Shield installation, all of which perfectly complement our suite of wildlife and pest control services.

Effective pest control requires eliminating the openings pests are using to enter your home. We offer a variety of exclusion services, including masonry, stonework, and custom chimney caps, plus attic, basement, and crawlspace abatement services. With more than three decades in the pest and wildlife control industry, there is no problem that we haven’t been able to solve for local homes and commercial properties.

Upper Armor Shield

From the peak of the rooftop to the second-floor windows, Upper Armor Shield protects your home from nuisance wildlife. Our team will seal soffit and fascia breaches with premium materials while also sealing ridge vents and any other gaps that could let pests gain access to your home.

Lower Armor Shield

The Lower Armor Shield ’s Stealth Strip protects your home from the first-floor windows to the ground. Our team utilizes premium materials to seal the area where your house meets the foundation. We also seal corner posts, holes in the foundation, and gaps in siding.

Full Armor Shield

The Full Armor Shield combines our Upper and Lower Shields for complete, chemical-free pest protection from ground to rooftop. Using premium materials, our team seals small openings and gaps, offering a permanent solution to keep nuisance wildlife out.

Partial Exclusion

Targeted exclusion (seal up) done on the interior and/or the exterior to prevent pests, rodents, and wildlife from making their way into your home. We use products such as silicone, xcluder cloth, galvanized hardware cloth, mortar or metal.

Burrow Barrier

Pestex’s Burrow Barrier System uses Hardware Guard to protect under your deck, porch, shed and other low clearance areas from burrowing animals. Our team uses trenching and hardware cloth to prevent nuisance wildlife and rodents from digging under these structures.

Abatement Services

After a thorough inspection for wildlife activity, measurements are taken for a custom-made stainless steel chimney cap. Installation included. Basement, crawlspace and attic abatement also available.

Pestex Armor Shield Warranty

The Pestex Armor Shield Warranty protects against reentry of the specific pests and rodents it is designed to exclude. Under this program, if at any time there is an issue with the material or installation, we will be out to inspect and solve the issue in our next available appointment. The warranty covers your Exclusion System in full for each year it is renewed.

We had used Pestex before and were happy with their service, so when Yellowjackets began appearing in our bedroom, we called them right away. It turned out to be a much bigger challenge than anybody expected, but they solved it! The wasps were entering through a gap in the fascia board near the roof line of our old house and then a hidden hole into the attic wall. When two treatments by LeDerrick (100% agree with the compliments in other reviews!) did not work as expected, Pestex escalated to a technical manager, Nick, who was thorough, informative, polite, and patient (with about a dozen coming into the house every day, we couldn't use our bedroom, and I was near hysterical). He drilled holes in the attic wall near the entry point and sprayed. A few days later it was still happening. Nick came back and opened a larger hole in the wall and saw wasps around an old storage space that had been walled off years ago. He treated that plus the original area. Better ... but still happening. So Pestex owner Dan Fleischer took on the challenge. After an extremely thorough examination, he discovered the nest in an unexpected place: inside the bedroom wall, quite a distance from their entry point. He drilled holes in the wall and sprayed. Better ... but still not gone. Dan came back with a machine that impelled the insecticide further inside the walls as well as the space between the bedroom ceiling and the attic floor. That did it! The whole effort took a few weeks, but their persistence, thoroughness, and determination to eliminate this difficult problem paid off. They always asked permission to drill, cut, or even to move furniture. Dan checked back several times to make sure all was well. Plus the office staff are responsive, helpful, and courteous. I highly recommend Pestex!

We called Pestex when we noticed the presence of yellow jackets hovering outside our daughter's bedroom window. Harry, a very affable gentleman took our call and arranged for one of their experts, Dave, to come out. Dave came and did a thorough inspection and treated the areas of activity. Dave was very knowledgeable, patient and diligent and we were very impressed. Within an hour after his visit Dave sent his report. We would certainly recommend this company as their staff and customer service are excellent!! Nicky & Joe, Wellesley MA

I was thoroughly pleased with the service I received, especially their wildlife expert LaDerrick. After fearing birds were in my attic, he assessed the situation and made recommendations to eliminate pest in the house. His calm demeanor certainly influenced my own anxiety. We developed a plan for ongoing evaluation of pest. I would recommend this company, highly— fast, efficient, and thorough.
