Our Process for Wildlife Removal Near You
Our wildlife experts are dedicated to the safe, humane removal of all nuisance animals from residential and commercial properties in San Antonio, including squirrels, bats, raccoons, snakes, and more. Different species require different techniques and tools to humanely remove them. There is no one-size-fits-all solution; each job requires a custom approach. We inspect every home and build a custom plan to resolve any wildlife problems. Here’s what to expect when working with Critter Control:
Step 1: Inspection
When a Critter Control technician arrives at your home, we will start by asking questions about your experience with the nuisance wildlife at hand. Once we have a firm grasp on the issues the property owner is facing, a thorough inspection of the interior and exterior of the home begins. This includes looking at the attic, crawlspace, roof, and any possible entry points. Since each species and home is different, the length of the inspection can vary. It can take between 30 minutes to 3 hours to accurately evaluate the extent of the wildlife nuisance issue.
Step 2: The Plan
With the results of the inspection, we share our findings with you. And share how we will solve the problem for you. Although each wildlife control plan is unique to the home, it may include live trapping, direct capture, one-way doors, or deterrents. Before any work begins, we make sure that you are comfortable with the steps being taken to resolve the nuisance wildlife issue.
Step 3: Get To Work
If you approve of the plan, we will set up a time to put it into place. After the animal removal has taken place, we will repair any damage caused by the critter. Additionally, we will apply sanitizing and ectoparasite agents to the affected areas. Once the plan is executed, your home will be returned to its normal condition.
Step 4: Full Home Exclusion
Wildlife removal is just one part of the plan. Many plans include wildlife control measures to prevent any future problems. This is often completed by installing a full home exclusion. The goal is to create physical barriers to prevent animals from entering your home in the future. A few possible exclusion techniques include gable vents, ridge vents, crawlspace vents, roof returns, and plumbing stacks. With the appropriate exclusions in place, you can rest easy knowing that a long-term solution is in place to protect your home from nuisance wildlife.

Squirrel Removal
Squirrels are active during the day so you might hear squealing, running, or gnawing early in the morning. The most common methods used are live trapping, one-way doors, deterrent, and direct capture. We do not directly capture adult squirrels as they move too quickly and fit in very small spaces.
Our experts can choose between safe and humane trapping, like with one-way doors, or if a squirrel is stuck, they may use safety tools for removal. Avoiding direct capture is a primary goal unless there are babies to remove.
After squirrel removal, we seal all entry points larger than a dime. We suggest trimming all trees away from your home and removing bird feeders.

Raccoon Removal
In Dallas, raccoons are urbanized nuisances. Raccoons create dens in safe places like hollowed trees, chimneys, and attics to give birth. Raccoon mating season is from mid to late summer . So the most likely time to experience a raccoon problem starts late summer. Juvenile raccoons will stay with their mother up to a year.
Raccoons can wreak havoc trying to gain entry to your home and cause significant damage creating a den in your attic. They can cause a mess of garbage and destroy home gardens and bird feeders. Because they are nocturnal, you’ll most likely hear a loud thumbing at night if you have an attic.
Raccoons are typically removed using safe and humane traps, following local and state regulations. Direct capture is avoided whenever possible due to the potential for being bitten or scratched.
Rodent Pest Control
There are up to 50 species of rats and mice in Dallas-Fort Worth and across Texas. These rodents can crawl in and out of tiny holes, allowing them to travel throughout any building undetected. They also breed quickly, which leads to uncontrolled rapid population growth. There can be dozens of mice crawling through the house before you discover the first one.
Rats and mice destroy property, spread diseases, and contaminate the food that you consume daily. To exterminate these rodents, you need to wipe out the entire population at once. Effective rodent control require using various traps and bait in multiple areas throughout your home or business. You may also need follow-up inspections to ensure that the animals have not returned to your home.
Bat Removal
Bats in Texas are a big deal. The world’s largest bat colony is just north of the city in Bracken Caves, where an astonishing 20 million of these animals are estimated to roost. Texas bills itself as the country’s battiest state, with 32 of the 47 domestic species living here. With such large numbers of bats in Dallas-Forth Worth, a colony of bats in your attic can cause problems. The accumulation of guano can weaken the structure of your home and cause respiratory diseases.
Bats are protected by federal and state regulations. It is illegal to kill bats with chemicals, and you should not exclude bats during the maternity season. The maternity season usually lasts from spring to late summer.
Once the young can survive on their own, the wildlife technician seals the entry points (bats need only a small gap of three-eighths of an inch in diameter to gain access to attics) and installs a bat valve. Once the valve is installed, your house will be bat-free in 3-7 days.
Snake Removal
There are both venomous and non-venomous snakes in Dallas County. Rattlesnakes are a common sight in Texas (over 100 species in Texas), and they may occasionally slither their way into your home. Fortunately, snakes usually strike only when threatened. Snakes are elusive and avoid detection.
Signs of a snake in your house include droppings and shredded snakeskin.
Seal cracks and holes in home foundations to reduce the possibility of snakes entering. Remove hiding places and potential food sources by taking actions like maintaining lawns, storing wood piles off the ground and in sheds or barns, sealing trash bins with fitted lids, and cleaning clutter from basements and attics.
Opossum Control
Opossums are not prone to aggression. They pose the greatest threat to your garden, but they will eat almost anything. Opossums do carry diseases and host parasites like mites, roundworms, flukes, and tapeworms. Opossums will also look for safe nesting areas under decks, inside garages, or under foundations. Sealing ground level entrances and burying wire mesh are effective ways to keep opossums out. If an opossum makes its way into your attic, either a cage trap or direct capture are humane removal strategies. To prevent opossums from taking up residence under decks and building foundations, property owners should seal any holes with caulk or wire mesh strong enough to withstand animal disturbances.
Armadillo Control
The nine-banded armadillo is our state’s official small mammal. They become a pest when they dig up your yard. Armadillos will dig holes in your yard for grubs, worms, and other underground creatures. Armadillo holes are usually 1 to 3 inches deep and 5 inches wide.
Trapping an armadillo takes skill and training. They are predictable, and when searching for food tend to ignore their surroundings. A cage trap with a constructed funnel is effective to catch an armadillo. Fortifying foundations and erecting barriers is one of the most effective ways to control armadillos. They have strong front legs with sharp claws that are ideal for digging.
