CEDAR PARK’S HUMANE WILDLIFE TEAM

Wildlife Removal in Cedar Park, TX

Raccoon by the chimney, squirrels in the attic, mice in the walls? Cedar Park sits where the Hill Country starts, and Brushy Creek, the greenbelts and the preserves around neighborhoods like Buttercup Creek put wildlife a few yards from the back fence. We work across the city, from Ranch at Brushy Creek and Walsh Trails to Cypress Canyon and Anderson Mill West.

In Cedar Park the way in is often where two materials meet: stone and roofline, chimney and shingles, mortar that has cracked or fallen out. We get the animal out humanely, close those gaps with matched mortar and steel, and repair the damage. Inspections are $70, and you get a list of every entry point and an itemized price before we start.

HOW IT WORKS

Inspect. Evict. Seal. Restore. Protect.

01

Inspect

Roof, chimney, stonework, soffits, vents and foundation, plus the attic when it’s safe to get in. If the animal is hard to confirm, a camera tells us. The visit is $70 and ends with an itemized price for the whole job.

02

Evict

Animals in the attic or chimney leave through one-way doors. Armadillos, skunks and opossums outside are live-trapped. Nothing gets sealed in.

03

Seal

Missing mortar re-pointed, chimneys wrapped where they meet the roof, and gaps in siding and soffits closed with galvanized steel, then painted to match.

04

Restore & repair

Soiled insulation and nesting removed, chewed wood and trim replaced, and the attic left clean.

05

Protect

The fleas, ticks and mites that ride in with wildlife don’t leave when the animal does. We’ll include a follow-up treatment for them as an option in your quote, and a Cedar Park pest control plan keeps pests in check year-round while keeping your exclusion warranty active.

Your warranty

If an animal gets back in where we sealed, we come back and fix it at no charge.

1 year: included with every exclusion job.

After that: covered for as long as you stay on a Prickly Pear pest control plan.

Wildlife We See Most in Cedar Park

Brushy Creek, the preserves on the west side and the cedar-and-oak hills toward Lake Travis put wildlife right at the edge of Cedar Park’s neighborhoods.

Raccoon peeking out from under a roof edge

Raccoons

In Cedar Park, raccoons often get in where a chimney meets the roof. In Ranch at Brushy Creek we let one out through a one-way door, wrapped the chimney and patched the siding behind it.

squirrel

Squirrels

Squirrels run the oak canopy and chew into soffit corners, roof vents and gaps along wood siding. Once inside, they shred insulation and chew wiring.

Mice

Mice squeeze through gaps about the size of a dime around pipes, garage doors and weep holes. Droppings in a pantry or along baseboards are usually the first sign.

two roof rats standing in the attic

Rats

Roof rats travel tree limbs and fence lines to reach the roof, then slip in through gaps in mortar and flashing. We close those gaps instead of only setting traps.

Bat hanging upside down

Bats

Bats tuck into gaps behind fascia, under tiles and in gable vents. One-way exclusion lets them fly out at dusk and keeps them out, then we seal up.

armadillo on the street in Austin

Armadillos

Armadillos come off the greenbelts at night to dig for grubs in watered lawns and flower beds, and burrow under walkways and sheds.

skunk in yard

Skunks

Skunks den under decks, sheds and porches, especially on lots backing onto a greenbelt. They carry rabies in Texas, so leave the trapping to us.

a opossum sniffing

Opossums

Opossums move into crawl spaces, garages and the space under decks. We remove them humanely and close the opening so the space stays empty.

You don’t need to know what it is or how it got in. That’s our job. Call us for the fastest answer, or send us a message and we’ll get back to you the same business day.

LOCAL KNOWLEDGE

Why Cedar Park Gets So Many Wildlife Calls

Cedar Park sits where the Texas Hill Country begins. To the west, the cedar and oak hills toward Lake Travis are prime habitat, and neighborhoods like Buttercup Creek, Cypress Canyon and Ranch at Deer Creek back right up to it.

Brushy Creek winds through the city, past Brushy Creek Lake Park and neighborhoods like Ranch at Brushy Creek, Walsh Trails and Forest Oaks. Raccoons, opossums, skunks and foxes use the creek and its trail corridor to move from yard to yard.

Many Cedar Park homes built from the 1980s through the 2000s have stone fronts, steep rooflines and chimneys. Where stone meets the roof, mortar cracks and falls out over the years, and that gap is exactly what a rat, squirrel or raccoon is looking for. In Bella Vista we re-pointed a foot and a half of missing mortar at the eaves of a steep roof. In Ranch at Brushy Creek, a raccoon had opened up the spot where the chimney meets the roofline.

Inside the house, mice are the most common surprise. In Buttercup Creek we traced the droppings back to the gaps the mice were using, removed them and sealed every way in.

Wildlife comes with living this close to the Hill Country. The fix is finding and closing the way in, not just catching what’s inside.

Cedar Park Wildlife Removal FAQ

We’re out your way regularly. New neighborhoods keep building into wildlife habitat around Cedar Park, so wildlife calls here are steady. Book online for the next open inspection, or call and we’ll set a time.

The inspection is $70. After that it depends on what we find: re-pointing a short run of missing mortar at the roofline costs far less than evicting a raccoon, wrapping the chimney and patching the siding. You see an itemized price for removal, exclusion and repairs before any work starts.

Mortar shrinks, cracks and works loose over the years, especially where stone veneer, chimneys and the roofline come together. Those gaps are small at first, but rats, squirrels and raccoons find them and make them bigger. We re-point the mortar to match, wrap the chimney where it needs it and paint the repair so it blends in.

No. We follow Texas Parks & Wildlife rules for every species. Animals in the attic leave through one-way doors, and animals outside are caught in live traps. If we find one that’s injured or orphaned, we get it to a Central Texas wildlife rehabilitator.

Rats are louder and leave droppings about the size of a raisin; mouse droppings are closer to a grain of rice. We see both in Cedar Park. Either way, the fix is the same: find every gap they’re using, close it, and remove the ones already inside.

Yes. We match mortar to your stone, paint patched soffits and flashing, and use low-profile guards on vents and chimneys. That holds up in HOA neighborhoods like Cypress Canyon, Ranch at Brushy Creek and Silverado West.

We fix it. For a year after the exclusion job, if an animal gets in through a spot we sealed, the return visit and repair are free. Customers on a Prickly Pear pest control plan stay covered for as long as they’re on the plan.
