Repairing Holes and Entry Points of Rats, Squirrels, Mice, Opossums, and Raccoons

Tuesday, Apex Wildlife Control repaired holes and entry points for rats, mice, squirrels, opossums, and raccoons at Eureka True Vine Baptist Church.  Apex had previously been out and set over 40 traps to catch the different species of critters. The repairs needed to Eureka True Vine were extensive and Apex stepped up to help!

 The rodents and other animals had made multiple entry points into the house of worship. Rodents had chewed through brick and mortar to get into the church.

Apex located the hole made by the critter and then sealed them with mortar and foam.

Apex uses a quick drying hard foam for the hard to seal places. Two of the wildlife specialists are sealing cracks between the roof and a load baring wall. The church is repainting the ceiling and then dropping it down six inches.

Apex employees were not the only people there.  Several of the church members showed up to help paint and clean up.

Everyone pitched in to help repair the church so that it can be used to reach out into the community.  Apex did more than just find and seal holes were animals were getting in at.  The employees of Apex did other repairs.  A group of men replaced missing part of the roof.

The news of what was going on got the attention of several of the local news stations.  Each station did a story on the work being done.  The reporting of what Apex was doing encouraged other companies to help out!

Now that Apex is done with the work, Eureka True Vine is moving forward with their ministry. They will no longer have to worry about four legged furry friends living in the church.
