Depending on the species, the number of animals, and the condition of your property, we develop a custom wildlife removal plan. Humane wildlife removal strategies include animal traps, one-way doors, and repellents. Once we guarantee all animals are gone, we implement exclusion techniques. Exclusion techniques provide a safe, long-term solution to nuisance wildlife in your home. We create barriers to prevent animals from getting to resources.

Typically, they only go out at night to scavenge for food while you are asleep. They can travel up to six miles searching for food.<\/p>\n<p>Raccoons are called masked bandits for a reason. They can be mischievous. Using their nimble, human-like hands, they turn over garbage cans, scatter trash along the road, and dig holes in your yard searching for insects. Because they eat anything, including junk food, pet feed, bugs, garden crops, fish out of your pond, and small animals, they will not let much get in their way. They prefer a warm, cozy spot, like your attic or chimney, to rest.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/agrilifeextension.tamu.edu\/library\/wildlife-nature-environment\/managing-raccoon-damage\/\">Raccoons<\/a> will enter your home through open holes. They will also break vents, boards, and screens as they push their way inside. Once inside, they create a spot specifically for feces and urine. Then they begin to destroy ducts, insulation, drywall, and stored items.<\/p>\n<p>Raccoons are known to carry rabies and many other diseases. Never try to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crittercontrol.com\/wildlife\/raccoons\">remove a raccoon<\/a> on your own. If you find a nest, they may need to be removed manually. Texas requires you to notify the Parks and Wildlife Department, which may want to test the animal for rabies.<\/p>\n\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"icon-cards\" aria-label=\"icon cards\">\n  <div class=\"container\">\n    <div class=\"row\">\n                        <article class=\"col-md-4\" aria-label=\"Inspection\">\n            <div class=\"icon-card-item\">\n              <div class=\"icon\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\"\n                  src=\"https:\/\/www.crittercontrol.com\/crittercontrol\/crittercontrol\/media\/CritterControl\/Office Finder Refresh\/Icon_HomeInspection.svg\"\n                  alt=\"House with a magnifying glass icon\">\n              <\/div>\n              <div class=\"content\">\n                <h2 class=\"headline\">Inspection<\/h2>\n                <div class=\"desc\">\n                  <p style=\"text-align: center;\">During the inspection, we determine the severity of the raccoon infestation.

Depending on the situation, a one-way door or excluder valve can be installed. An excluder valve works by allowing the raccoon to leave but blocks its reentry. The choice of device is largely dependent on the season and location of the raccoons on your property. Direct capture is not commonly used because raccoons are a rabies vector species. If we must trap, we place traps strategically to safely catch the raccoons and we check traps frequently, based on state laws.<\/div>\n\n                <\/div>\n              <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n          <\/article>\n\n                  <article class=\"col-md-4\" aria-label=\"Repairs\">\n            <div class=\"icon-card-item\">\n              <div class=\"icon\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\"\n                  src=\"https:\/\/www.crittercontrol.com\/crittercontrol\/crittercontrol\/media\/CritterControl\/Office Finder Refresh\/Icon_HomeRepairs.svg\"\n                  alt=\"House with a wrench decoration logo\">\n              <\/div>\n              <div class=\"content\">\n                <h2 class=\"headline\">Repairs<\/h2>\n                <div class=\"desc\">\n                  <p style=\"text-align: center;\">We provide a wide range of repair and restoration services.

We have water surrounding us everywhere, and when waters rise, snakes make their way into our yards and homes.<\/p>\n<p>While most snakes are not harmful, they can still be a nuisance. Snakes are beneficial for the environment. They eat small rodents and can even eat predatory snakes, protecting people and pets. However, they create a fearful reaction among people who accidentally bump into them in strange places, like their basement or vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>Identifying snakes is not that easy. It\u2019s hard for many people to know which ones are dangerous. Even when you cross paths with the friendliest snakes, you may get frightened. Even snakes that aren\u2019t poisonous can carry bacteria, and if it bites you, it can infect you.
