The Problem: A homeowner in the Bouldin Creek area of Austin detected consistent nightly activity from a raccoon gaining access to their property through a foundation vent. The animal was observed frequently entering and exiting, raising concerns about potential damage and unsanitary conditions within the home's crawl space or sub-structure.

The Solution: Prickly Pear Wildlife's expert technicians promptly assessed the entry point at the foundation vent. To ensure a humane and effective resolution, a specialized one-way door system was strategically installed, allowing the raccoon to exit but preventing its re-entry. Continuous monitoring with advanced camera technology was established to confirm the animal's departure. Once the raccoon was confirmed to have vacated the premises, the foundation vent was meticulously sealed with durable, critter-proof materials, completely securing the entry point.

The Outcome: With the raccoon humanely removed and the foundation vent permanently secured, the homeowner's property is now protected against future wildlife intrusions, providing invaluable peace of mind. Prickly Pear Wildlife also noted a significant mosquito presence and proactively recommended our seasonal mosquito control services, demonstrating our commitment to comprehensive home wellness and client satisfaction.
