Xcluder rodent proofing tech on display at PestEx

PRESS RELEASE

As rodent populations continue to expand worldwide, Xcluder - the global leader in rodent and pest exclusion - has strengthened its portfolio of rodent-proofing solutions to support the evolving needs of pest management and facilities professionals.

And PestEx visitors will be able to see Xcluder's portfolio first-hand on stand 126.

Xcluder’s Rodent-Proof Door Sweeps are guaranteed to protect homes and buildings against mice and rats, providing durable exclusion at one of the most common rodent entry points.

Each sweep is built with a core of high-density Xcluder Fill Fabric - a patented blend of stainless steel and poly-fiber with coarse fibers rodents cannot gnaw through - combined with reinforced gaskets that form an effective weatherseal and enhance thermal performance.

An extended rubber flap creates a flush ground seal to help block insects, light penetration and outdoor contaminants, while also supporting compliance with food safety audit standards.

The X2 Door Bottom Seal combines a Rodent-Proof Door Sweep with a durable brush seal to provide layered exclusion at high-risk door openings.

Designed for use on roll-up doors, dock doors, and other commercial and industrial doors where uneven floors or dock plates create persistent gaps, the system addresses conditions commonly found in warehouses, food facilities and loading areas.

The outer seal, lined with Xcluder Fill Fabric, blocks rodents and environmental elements, while the inner brush conforms to textured surfaces to seal small gaps and prevent crawling pests.

The unique dual-step system is designed to reduce maintenance costs and support health and safety regulatory compliance.

By listening closely to the needs of pest management professionals, Xcluder continues to deliver practical exclusion solutions for real-world conditions. One example is the X-Plate™, which provides a durable solution for rodent entry points around pipes and conduits.

This adjustable escutcheon plate fits pipe diameters from approximately 13 mm to 76 mm, and when paired with Xcluder Fill Fabric, forms a permanent barrier against rodents, ants, roaches and air infiltration.

Built for efficient installation, X-Plate installs without disconnecting plumbing and adapts to tight spaces.

Its heavyduty, powder-coated construction allows for use in both interior and exterior applications.

“Rodents are highly adaptive problem-solvers, which is why effective exclusion starts with thoughtful product design,” said Ben Channon, Director of Xcluder.

“Our product development team works closely with pest and facilities professionals to engineer solutions that address the entry points they
see every day. From doors to pipe penetrations, Xcluder products are built to stand up to real-world rodent pressure while supporting food safety and regulatory requirements.”
