The Problem: A homeowner in the Northwood area of Austin contacted Prickly Pear Wildlife with concerns about potential wildlife intrusions, specifically skunks and rats, under their back deck. The property, adjacent to an abandoned house known to attract various wildlife, had recently shown signs of digging activity near the foundation. While a previous exclusion service from another company was in place, new vulnerabilities required expert attention to prevent further pest entry.

The Solution: Upon a thorough inspection, the Prickly Pear team identified specific areas of concern, including the perimeter of the back deck and a vulnerable corner of the foundation. Our certified technicians implemented a comprehensive dig-proofing and exclusion strategy. This involved meticulously trenching and installing durable snake fencing around the entire back deck, securely fastening it to both the deck structure and the foundation. Additionally, the team reinforced the susceptible foundation corner with robust snake fencing and strategically placed pea gravel, effectively sealing all identified potential entry points.

The Outcome: Thanks to Prickly Pear Wildlife's proactive and meticulous exclusion work, the homeowner in Northwood can now enjoy their property with complete peace of mind. The comprehensive dig-proofing measures have successfully secured the home against skunks, rats, and other subterranean pests, eliminating concerns about future wildlife intrusions. The property is now fully protected, ensuring a safe and critter-free environment for years to come.
