Common Wildlife Issues in Pflugerville

Wild animals seek shelter and food, and your home can provide both. Understanding the common culprits and the problems they cause is key to protecting your Pflugerville property. Each animal presents unique challenges that often require a specific strategy for effective and humane removal and prevention.

• Raccoons: Highly intelligent and dextrous, raccoons can tear through shingles, siding, and vents to access attics and crawl spaces. They often damage insulation, chew on wiring, and leave behind hazardous droppings (latrines).
• Squirrels: These persistent rodents are known for constantly chewing. They can gnaw on electrical wires, creating a serious fire hazard, as well as damage wood, PVC pipes, and contaminate insulation with nests and waste.
• Opossums: Often seeking shelter under decks, in sheds, or within crawl spaces, opossums can create messes with their droppings and carry parasites like fleas and ticks. While less destructive than raccoons, their presence is still a concern.
• Skunks: Famous for their potent defensive spray, skunks are expert diggers that often burrow under porches, sheds, and foundations. Their digging can undermine structures, and their presence is a significant nuisance for homeowners with pets.

Attempting to handle these animals without proper training is dangerous for both you and the animal. A professional can safely identify and remove the wildlife, assess the damage, and implement a plan to keep them out.

The Importance of Professional Wildlife Removal

Attempting to trap or handle wild animals on your own is risky. Nuisance wildlife can become aggressive when they feel cornered or threatened, leading to bites or scratches that can transmit diseases like rabies. Professionals have the right safety gear and training to manage these animals safely.

Simply trapping an animal and removing it does not solve the underlying issue. If the entry points into your home are not properly sealed, a new animal will soon take its place. Professionals specialize in exclusion work, using the correct materials to permanently secure your home from future entry.

Furthermore, there are local and state regulations governing the trapping and relocation of wildlife. A licensed wildlife control expert understands and adheres to these laws, ensuring the process is handled not only humanely but also legally, avoiding potential fines or complications for the homeowner.
