Location: Zilker, Austin
Initial Condition (Before)
Final Result (After)
The Problem: A homeowner in the Zilker neighborhood of Austin, TX, reported persistent raccoon activity. The animal was observed routinely entering and exiting the property through a foundation vent, raising concerns about potential structural damage, health risks, and disruption to peace of mind.
The Solution: Our certified wildlife specialists conducted a thorough inspection, identifying the primary entry point at a specific foundation vent. To ensure a humane resolution, a specialized one-way exclusion door (model 1way 45) was strategically installed, allowing the raccoon to exit but preventing re-entry. Surveillance cameras (camera 9) were deployed to monitor activity and confirm successful exclusion. Following the raccoon's departure, the foundation vent was expertly sealed and reinforced to prevent future wildlife access.
The Outcome: The Prickly Pear Wildlife team successfully and humanely excluded the persistent raccoon, restoring the homeowner's peace and security. The foundation vent was permanently sealed, eliminating the entry point and providing lasting protection against future wildlife intrusions. The homeowner can now enjoy their home with renewed confidence, knowing their property is secured by Prickly Pear's expert solutions.
