Common Wildlife Problems
Wild animals can cause problems by breaking into houses and yards. Here are a few of the animals that would like to call your home theirs, and the problems they cause:
- Squirrels: They like chewing on cables and building nests in attics, which can damage insulation and cause fire concerns.
- Raccoons: These animals can tear up roofs or siding to get inside your home. They can also spread diseases through their droppings.
- Birds: Birds may build nests in vents or chimneys, blocking airflow and causing damage to your property. They are also common carriers of several diseases that can be transmitted to humans.
- Bats: Bats are able to fit through tiny spaces, most commonly in attics. Their feces may harm surfaces and present major health hazards.
- Snakes: Venomous snakes like rattlesnakes, are dangerous to pets or people. While they rarely enter your home for shelter, they turn up in houses often in search of somewhere to warm up or in search of food. Most often, a snake in a home is the sign of another type of wildlife problem (rodents).
- Rodents (Mice & Rats): Rodents chew on wood and wires and can quickly spread through a home. They also carry diseases that can affect your family’s health. In Texas, the most common rodent is known as a roof rat; a fantastic climber that moves from home to home.
Signs You Need Wildlife Removal Services
Wild animals can sneak into your home without you noticing at first. Here are some indicators that you may require wildlife removal:
Strange Noises: Hearing scratching, scurrying, or thumping sounds, especially at night, could mean animals are in your walls or attic.
Droppings: Animal droppings in your garage, attic, or other areas of your home are a dead giveaway that unwanted wildlife is there.
Damaged Property: Look for chewed wires, torn insulation, or holes in your roof or siding. These are signs that animals may have broken in.
Nests: Seeing nests made of leaves, twigs, or other materials in your attic, chimney, or near your home can indicate a wildlife problem.
Unpleasant Odors: A foul smell might mean there’s an animal living, or worse, dying, inside your home.
Tracks or Footprints: Finding small tracks in dust or mud around your home can signify wildlife activity.

How Often Should You Get Your Property Checked for Wildlife?
Regular inspections are vital for keeping your house wildlife-free. The frequency of these examinations depends on various criteria, including the kind of property, its location, and any prior wildlife issues.
Routine Inspections
For most properties, a professional wildlife assessment every 6 to 12 months is advised. This periodic assessment identifies possible entrance sites and early indications of wildlife activity before they become major issues. If your house has had previous exclusions, there may still be places that were not done originally, and these inspections will help ensure that those possible entry points stay safe.
High-Risk Areas
Proactive exclusion services may be beneficial if you live in an area with a high likelihood of wildlife intrusion—such as near wooded areas or water sources. With Proactive exclusion, we harden the common entries before the animals can find them, making your home unwelcoming to the local wildlife..
Seasonal Checks
There is more wildlife activity at certain times of the year, especially in the spring and fall, when animals are looking for shelter. Infestations can be avoided by scheduling inspections ahead of these peak periods.
Before and After Major Renovations
Consider a wildlife inspection before and after if you’re undertaking major home improvements or repairs. Construction can disturb nesting sites and create new entry points for wildlife. For instance, when a roof is replaced, roofers must remove our exclusion, and we have yet to see them put it back. Call a Prickly Pear before the work begins to remove the exclusion and reapply it after.
