Same-Day Wildlife Removal Available
Knowing what’s up there changes the removal plan. Here’s how Austin homeowners usually figure out which animal is in the attic before we even arrive.
Not sure? Tap to call — we’ll ID the animal during inspection and tailor the removal plan to it.
Each animal has different entry behavior, different damage profile, and different exclusion materials. Here’s what we do with each.
Diurnal — active dawn and dusk, the most common attic invader in Austin. Enter through gnawed gable vents, gaps where the roofline meets the soffit, and tree branches touching the roof. They nest in insulation, gnaw electrical wiring (a documented fire risk), and bring food caches that attract rats. Removal is humane trap or one-way exclusion door at the active entry. We seal soffits and gable vents with rodent-rated steel mesh and trim back tree branches that gave roof access.
Nocturnal and large enough to physically tear soffits open. Female raccoons nest with kits in attics during spring (mid-February through July). They contaminate insulation with droppings (which can carry roundworm) and damage roof structure with their weight and persistent forced-entry behavior. We locate the full family unit and humanely relocate. Soffits, dormers, and chimney caps get reinforced with steel mesh because raccoons can pry open inadequate sealing.
Slow-moving, mostly under decks and inside crawlspaces rather than attics. They’re tick eaters in nature — but in residential settings they nest, defecate in concentrated areas, and attract flies and parasites. Removal is live trap and relocation. Exclusion focuses on sealing access points around decks, foundation vents, and crawlspace skirting with rated mesh and concrete-anchor panels buried along the perimeter so they can’t dig back under.
Den under sheds, decks, and crawlspaces. Their spray smell is the early warning, but the bigger concern is structural damage from digging and contamination of soil with droppings and parasites. We use live trap and relocation, handled carefully to avoid spray. Exclusion seals den access with hardware-cloth aprons buried 12+ inches deep around decks and outbuildings — the depth keeps them from re-digging their way back in.
Central Texas is home to rat snakes, garter snakes, and the occasional venomous copperhead or rattlesnake. They follow rodents into garages, sheds, crawlspaces, and yards with brush piles or rock features. We do safe live removal, then apply repellent perimeter treatment around the home, fence line, and outbuilding bases — plus seal the structural gaps that let rodents (the food source) in. Solving the rodent problem solves the snake problem at the same time.

Humane exclusion. Zero poisons. Every opening is sealed then protected by a written structural guarantee — plain English, no fine print. Optional attic disinfection available when insulation is contaminated by raccoon, squirrel, or rodent droppings.
Real names. Real Austin homes. Pulled straight from Google.
“I highly recommend Texas Rodent. They were professional, honest, and easy to communicate with from start to finish. We had rats getting into our attic, and they found every entry point, sealed everything up, and handled the whole process humanely. They explained everything clearly and never tried to push us into a long-term contract. We haven’t had a single issue since. Definitely give them a call!”
“I can honestly say I highly recommend Texas Rodent. The guys were so professional and communicative. I had an issue with squirrels and a raccoon getting in my attic and they humanely relocated them and sealed everything up. No more problems! There was no pressure to sign any type of contract etc like I’ve experienced with other companies. Definitely call them. They are on it!”
“Texas Rodent did an amazing job. We had squirrels getting into one of our rental properties, and their team showed up quickly, communicated well, and took care of the problem the right way. They humanely removed the animals, sealed the access points, and made sure we understood what was done. No pressure, no upselling, just solid work. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone dealing with rodents or wildlife.”
Don't wait. Every week the problem grows — and the cleanup gets more expensive.
