Trapping Wild Animals
A Tex Pest Management provides animal control, animal removal and animal prevention services to homeowners, businesses and municipalities. Wildlife damage problems that require professional animal control services are increasing throughout the United States. Though most trespassing wild animals are merely nuisance animals, they can pose a real threat to humans if animal control is not implemented. Proper pest and animal control are essential.
Animal control is our business. There are many reasons why animal control is necessary, including:
- Preventing the 25–50 percent of fires of unknown origins that are caused by animals chewing on electrical wires.
- The diseases and parasites that certain animals carry that can be transmitted to humans
A dangerous or bothersome animal that comes too close for comfort becomes an animal control problem. A Tex Pest Management can help eliminate your animal control problems and prevent them from returning.
We most commonly handle the trapping and removal of squirrels, raccoons, opossums and skunks.
Animal removal, animal pest control and wildlife damage problems are increasing throughout the United States and Canada. Population growth, urbanization and increasing wildlife numbers are all factors contributing to nuisance wildlife situations requiring professional animal removal services. Government spending cuts have left much of the nuisance wildlife management and animal removal needs in counties and urban areas in the hands of private individuals.
A Tex Pest Management has called for humane animal removal and environmentally responsible techniques for handling nuisance animal problems. We use innovative, integrated methods to provide ecologically sound animal removal management services for homeowners, businesses and municipalities. We offer both residential animal removal and commercial animal removal throughout all of our Critter Control offices.
We offer a variety of animal removal services to eliminate animal problems and prevent recurring animal removal problems that require professional services. Some of our services include:
- Species-specific animal removal techniques featuring one-way doors and excluders
- Collecting, safe keeping and reuniting of offspring with parents/siblings after animal removal if possible.
- The use of eco-friendly repellents and deterrent animal removal techniques to discourage return

While wild animals are beautiful to see from a distance, up close encounters can be shocking. Here are some tips to keep wild animals from invading your space:
- Make sure trash is secure at all times. Trash receptacles should be kept tightly closed at all times. Wild animals will not live where they cannot eat. Removing the food source is an easy way to evict them.
- Inspect properties regularly for places where the animals can live. Make sure that your chimneys are capped so animals can’t nest in your fireplace. Keep flues closed so they don’t invade living areas. Inspect attics, crawlspaces, and basements for holes.
- Use caution repairing holes in the spring, as there may be babies already in nests. Try playing loud music to encourage animals to leave before patching holes.
- If putting out food for alley cats, only put out enough food to satisfy their hunger. Pick the food up when the cats finished so the leftovers don’t attract rodents or wild animals.
- Try deterrents. Sprays and other agents that are designed to keep unwanted animals away can be purchased at most garden or hardware stores. Moth balls or ammonia soaked rags can also aid in deterring animals from a specific area.
- Keep trees well trimmed. If there are trees are hanging over houses, the animals are likely gaining access to the rooftop by climbing the tree.
