Wildlife Removal in Leander, TX
Squirrels in the soffits, rats in the attic, armadillos in a brand-new lawn? Leander is one of the fastest-growing cities in Texas, and neighborhoods like Travisso, Bryson and Larkspur are built right into Hill Country ranchland, so the wildlife was here first. We work across the city, from Block House Creek and Mason Hills to Crystal Falls and Palmera Ridge.
In newer homes the way in is usually something the builder left open: a soffit return, a roof vent, a gap at the garage. We get the animal out humanely, close those gaps and clean up what it left behind. Inspections are $70, and you get a list of every entry point and an itemized price before we start.
- Humane wildlife removal
- Soffit returns, vents and rooflines sealed after the animal leaves
- Warranty on every exclusion job
HOW IT WORKS
Inspect. Evict. Seal. Restore. Protect.
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.
Evict
Animals in the attic or chimney leave through one-way doors. Armadillos, skunks and opossums outside are live-trapped. Nothing gets sealed in.
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.
Restore & repair
Soiled insulation and nesting removed, chewed wood and trim replaced, and the attic left clean.
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 Leander 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 Leander
The San Gabriel River, Brushy Creek’s forks and the open Hill Country around Travisso and Crystal Falls keep wildlife close to Leander’s newest neighborhoods.
Squirrels
In Mason Hills, squirrels were getting in through four wide-open soffit returns after another company couldn’t stop them. We let them out through one-way doors, built up the soffits and confirmed with a camera that they were gone.
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.
Raccoons
Raccoons follow the San Gabriel River and Brushy Creek into backyards, then look for a weak soffit or roof vent to den behind. We use one-way doors and seal the opening behind them.
Armadillos
New sod and fresh irrigation in Leander’s newer neighborhoods are an easy meal for armadillos. They dig for grubs at night and burrow under walkways, slabs and sheds.
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.
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.
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.
Foxes
Gray foxes come in off the open land around Leander and sometimes den under decks and sheds, especially in spring when they have kits. We get the family to move on humanely, then close off the space.

Why Leander Gets So Many Wildlife Calls
Leander has grown faster than almost anywhere in Texas, and most of that growth is new neighborhoods on former Hill Country ranchland. Travisso keeps more than 350 acres of open land, Crystal Falls sits on rolling limestone hills, and Bryson was built around big oaks. The wildlife that lived there didn’t leave. It moved to the edge of the new backyards.
Water runs through all of it. The South San Gabriel River borders neighborhoods like Bar W Ranch and Summerlyn, the San Gabriel winds through Larkspur, and Block House Creek’s greenbelts cover the south side next to Cedar Park. Raccoons, skunks, opossums and foxes use those corridors to reach yards.
New homes have their own weak spots. Soffit returns, roof vents and garage corners are often left open or loosely finished during construction, and squirrels and rats find them fast. In Mason Hills, squirrels were using four wide-open soffit returns. We let them out through one-way doors and built the soffits up so they can’t get back in.
Getting the animal out is only part of the job. In Lakeline Ranch and Mason Hills we removed soiled insulation, cleaned and sanitized the attic, and topped it off with fresh R30 insulation.
The wildlife was in Leander first. The fix is closing the way in and cleaning up properly, not just catching what’s in the attic.
Leander Wildlife Removal FAQ
How soon can you get out to Leander?
We’re in Leander regularly. With new neighborhoods going up on former ranchland, wildlife calls here are steady. Book online for the next open inspection, or call and we’ll set a time.
What does wildlife removal cost in Leander?
The inspection is $70. After that it depends on what we find: sealing a few open soffit returns costs far less than evicting squirrels, sealing the whole roofline and replacing soiled attic insulation. You see an itemized price for removal, exclusion and repairs before any work starts.
Why do new Leander homes get squirrels so fast?
Many newer homes have soffit returns, roof vents and garage corners that were left open or loosely finished during construction. Squirrels and rats find those gaps within a season or two. We let any animals out through one-way doors, then build up and seal the gaps so the house is closed for good.
Do you hurt the animals?
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.
Do I need my attic cleaned after the animal is gone?
Usually, yes. Droppings and urine soak into insulation, and the smell and mess stay after the animal leaves. We remove the soiled insulation, clean and sanitize the attic, and add fresh insulation, like the R30 top-offs we’ve done in Lakeline Ranch and Mason Hills.
Our HOA is picky about exteriors. Will the repairs match?
Yes. We match materials and paint to your trim, siding and stone, and use low-profile guards on vents. That holds up in HOA neighborhoods like Travisso, Crystal Falls and Palmera Ridge.
What happens if an animal gets back in?
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.
