Wildlife Removal in Round Rock, TX
Raccoon in the attic, skunk under the shed, armadillo digging up the lawn overnight? Round Rock grew up along Brushy Creek, and its greenbelts and golf courses run right behind the houses. We handle wildlife across the city, from Teravista and Forest Creek to Old Town and Behrens Ranch.
Most Round Rock calls start in the yard or at the roofline: a soffit return, an unscreened roof turbine, a gap under a shed. We remove the animal humanely, close the way in and repair the damage. Inspections are $70, and you get a report of every entry point and an itemized estimate before any work starts.
- Humane wildlife removal
- Soffits, roof vents and foundations sealed once the animal is out
- Warranty on every exclusion job
HOW IT WORKS
Inspect. Evict. Seal. Restore. Protect.
Inspect
We go over the yard as closely as the roof: soffit returns, turbines, vents, the foundation, decks and sheds. If an animal is hard to pin down, we set up cameras to confirm what it is and where it gets in. Inspections are $70.
Evict
Traps for ground animals like armadillos, skunks and opossums. One-way doors for raccoons, ringtails, squirrels and bats in the attic. We pick the method for the animal and the way it got in.
Seal
Damaged soffits rebuilt with steel, roof turbines and vents screened, and every gap closed and paint-matched so the repair blends in with the house.
Restore & repair
Droppings and nesting cleaned out, insulation and damaged trim repaired, and the yard checked for whatever drew the animal in to begin with.
Protect
Wildlife leaves fleas, ticks and mites behind. When we quote the job, we’ll offer a follow-up treatment for them. A Round Rock pest control plan then keeps pests down all year and keeps 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 Round Rock
Brushy Creek’s greenbelts, the golf-course ponds in Forest Creek and Teravista, and the rocky ground west of I-35 keep wildlife close to Round Rock homes.
Raccoons
Raccoons come up from Brushy Creek and the golf-course greenbelts. In Round Rock they usually get in through a weak soffit, often beside a chimney, or an unscreened roof turbine. We use one-way doors, then seal and paint-match the repair.
Armadillos
Fresh divots across an irrigated lawn overnight are the classic sign. Armadillos dig for grubs in Round Rock’s watered yards and burrow under slabs, walkways and sheds. We trap them humanely and point out what’s drawing them in.
Skunks
Skunks den under pool equipment pads, sheds and decks, and some are out in daylight. They’re among the main rabies carriers in Texas, so don’t try to move one yourself.
Squirrels
Squirrels jump from live oaks onto Round Rock roofs and chew into soffit corners and roof vents. Once inside, they shred insulation and chew wiring.
Rats
Roof rats travel tree limbs, fences and utility lines, and get into attics through gaps about the size of a quarter. We seal the gaps instead of just setting traps.
Bats
Bats roost behind loose fascia, in gable vents and under roof tiles. We use one-way exclusion so they leave at dusk and can’t return, then seal the gaps.
Opossums
Opossums settle under decks, sheds and porches, and in garages left open at night. We remove them humanely and close off the space they were using.
Foxes
Gray foxes travel the Brushy Creek greenbelt 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.
Got an animal where it shouldn’t be?
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.
Why Round Rock Gets So Many Wildlife Calls
Round Rock is named for the flat-topped rock in Brushy Creek, just west of I-35. Brushy Creek, Lake Creek and the trail greenbelts along them run behind thousands of backyards, and raccoons, skunks, opossums and foxes travel those corridors the same way people do.
I-35 roughly follows the line where the Hill Country’s limestone meets the Blackland Prairie. West of it, in neighborhoods like Behrens Ranch, Mayfield Ranch and Sendero Springs, rocky ground and cedar and oak cover suit ringtails and foxes. East of it, newer neighborhoods like Paloma Lake and Siena sit on old farmland, where soft, watered lawns draw armadillos.
Forest Creek and Teravista are built around golf courses. The fairways, ponds and drainage channels behind the houses bring armadillos to irrigated lawns and skunks under pool equipment and sheds. In Forest Creek, one skunk kept coming back to den under a pool equipment shed until we trapped it, with a camera on the spot to confirm the catch.
When animals do get into the house, it’s usually through roof details: soffit returns, roof turbines and vents. In Teravista we evicted a ringtail and sealed six damaged soffit returns and two roof vents. In Oak Bluff, a raccoon got in through a soffit beside a stone chimney.
That’s why we inspect the yard as closely as the roofline. Finding the food, shelter and gaps that drew the animal in is how the problem stays solved.
Round Rock Wildlife Removal FAQ
How fast can you get to my home in Round Rock?
Our base in Pflugerville is minutes from Round Rock. Book online to see the next open inspection times, or call us and we’ll fit you in.
How much does wildlife removal cost?
Inspections are $70, and the job price depends on what we find. Screening a couple of roof turbines and fixing one soffit costs far less than evicting an animal and sealing six soffit returns and the roof vents on a two-story home. Your itemized estimate covers removal, exclusion and repairs before we start.
Are rattlesnakes common in Round Rock neighborhoods?
We get rattlesnake calls from established neighborhoods like Forest Creek, not only from homes on the edge of town. Snakes follow rodents and hide in cool, tight spots like hose boxes, woodpiles and the space under a deck. Many of the snakes we find, like western rat snakes and racers, aren’t venomous, but don’t try to tell them apart yourself. Keep people and pets back and call us.
What happens to the animal after you catch it?
We follow Texas Parks & Wildlife rules for every species. Animals in the attic usually leave through a one-way door; ground animals like armadillos and skunks are live-trapped. If we find one that’s injured or orphaned, we work with Central Texas wildlife rehabilitators to get it care.
What is a ringtail, and why is one in my attic?
Ringtails are small, nocturnal relatives of the raccoon that live in the rocky, wooded country around Round Rock. They’re excellent climbers and slip in through damaged soffits and roof vents. We confirm the animal with cameras, let it out through a one-way door, then seal every gap it used.
Will the repairs stand out? Our HOA has strict rules.
No. We rebuild damaged soffits with steel and paint-match the repair, and we screen roof turbines and vents with low-profile guards. That keeps the work within the rules in HOA neighborhoods like Teravista, Forest Creek and Behrens Ranch.
What if the animal comes back?
We come back and fix it. For 1 year after an exclusion job, if an animal gets in through a spot we sealed, the repair is free. Stay on a Prickly Pear pest control plan and you stay covered for as long as you’re on the plan.
