Wildlife Control Services in Austin

Austin's Common Nuisance Wildlife

While Austin's natural beauty is one of its best features, it means that encounters between homeowners and wildlife are common. When animals decide to make your home their own, they can cause serious issues. Understanding the common culprits and the problems they create is the first step in reclaiming your property.

Our technicians are experts at handling the wildlife most often found in local homes:

• Raccoons: Highly intelligent and destructive, they often tear through roofing and vents to nest in attics, destroying insulation and leaving behind hazardous waste.
• Squirrels: These persistent chewers can gnaw on electrical wires, creating a serious fire hazard, and damage wooden structures and siding.
• Opossums: Often found under decks, in crawl spaces, or in garages, they can create unsanitary conditions and may carry parasites like fleas.
• Bats: Bat colonies in an attic can lead to large accumulations of guano, which can cause structural damage and pose health risks from fungal spores.
• Birds & Rodents: Pigeons, starlings, rats, and mice can nest in vents and eaves, creating blockages and unsanitary environments.

Each of these animals requires a specific strategy for effective and safe removal.

We can also help you set up a regular maintenance program that ensures your pest control needs are met all year long.

The Importance of Professional Wildlife Removal

When you find an animal in your home, it can be tempting to try and handle the situation yourself. However, DIY wildlife removal is often ineffective and can be dangerous for both you and the animal. Professionals are equipped to manage these situations safely and legally.

Wild animals can become aggressive when they feel trapped or threatened, posing a risk of bites or scratches. They are also common carriers of diseases like rabies and parasites such as fleas and ticks, which can be transmitted to humans and pets. A professional understands animal behavior and uses protective gear.

Furthermore, trapping and relocating wildlife is often regulated by state and local laws. A professional wildlife control company understands these regulations and uses approved, humane methods for removal and exclusion. This ensures the problem is solved effectively without causing unnecessary harm or legal issues.

Preventative Measures for Rodent Control

In addition to eliminating existing rodent infestations, it's important to take preventative measures to prevent rodents from entering your home in the future. Our Austin pest management experts can provide valuable tips & services to help safeguard your home against future rodent invasions.

Some preventative measures for rodent control include:

• Sealing cracks & holes in the foundation & walls of your home
• Keeping food storage areas clean & secure
• Trimming trees & bushes away from your home to eliminate potential entry points
• Installing rodent-proof screens on vents & chimneys
• Regularly inspecting & maintaining your home's exterior to prevent rodent entry
