The Problem: A homeowner in West Lake Hills, Austin, contacted Prickly Pear Wildlife Removal reporting persistent scratching and scurrying noises originating from their cathedral ceiling and an interior wall connected to their living room. These sounds suggested active wildlife presence. A thorough inspection revealed a significant entry point on the roof, large enough for various wildlife, and a long, vulnerable gap in the soffit at a structural corner, indicating potential access points for pests like squirrels.

The Solution: Our certified technicians initiated a multi-faceted exclusion and deterrent strategy. First, a humane one-way door was meticulously installed over the primary roof entry point, allowing the resident squirrels to exit safely while preventing re-entry. To address the activity within the wall, eviction fluid was strategically applied to encourage the wildlife to vacate the nesting area. Additionally, approximately 20 feet of black L-flashing was custom-fitted and installed along the identified soffit gap, fortifying the vulnerable structural corner. Monitoring cameras were deployed on the roof to observe activity at both the main entry and other potential access points. A temporary roof patch was also applied to an area of visible water damage, with a referral provided for a professional roofer to ensure long-term structural integrity. These measures collectively ensured a robust and lasting solution.

The Outcome: Thanks to Prickly Pear Wildlife's comprehensive approach, the squirrels were safely and humanely evicted from the homeowner's property. The residence is now fully secured with durable exclusion materials, eliminating current and preventing future wildlife intrusions. The homeowner can once again enjoy the tranquility of their West Lake Hills home, confident in the lasting peace of mind provided by our expert wildlife exclusion services and commitment to thorough, professional solutions.
