If you have a problem with wildlife in your Lewisville home, your best option is to hire a company that specializes in Texas wildlife removal only. This is a specialty business, and regular pest control companies do not use the proper techniques to solve animal problems. I have spent many years reviewing Texas and Lewisville, and I recommend the following:

Red Rover Rodent Removal is a full-service Lewisville wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Lewisville pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all similar to wildlife removal. Red Rover Rodent Removal performs a full inspection of the home or property, and determines why the animal(s) are there, and if inside a building, how the animals got inside. All animals (including rodents) are trapped and removed, or if possible, removed from the building using special exclusion devices. Once the animals are gone, preventative repairs are essential, and cleanup is sometimes recommended.

Lewisville wildlife trapping - it's not as simple as it may seem. It's illegal in Texas to trap without a license. Trap type is very important and there are many different types, bait is somewhat relevant, trap placement is vital, and there are dozens of small things that are very important to know. Safety is a concern. Then once the animal is trapped, it must be removed and dealt with in the proper manner according to Texas law. We offer Lewisville raccoon removal. Read more about how to get rid of raccoons.

Animals in attics - this is our specialty at Red Rover Rodent Removal. Many types of animals like to live in attics. This includes squirrels, raccoons, rats, mice, bats, birds, and even possums. Critters like to go into attics for a safe place to live and raise their young. Removing animals from attics is very complex work, partly because of the presence of baby animals. If you need Lewisville squirrel removal, we can remove all the squirrels from your attic, and seal out any future ones. Read more about how to get rid of squirrels.

Rodent control must be done in a very specific way. First off, the most important thing is that all the openings that rats and mice can use to enter a house be sealed. Then all the rodents must be physically trapped and removed. Never, ever use poison! Most Lewisville exterminators will just use this lazy poison technique to kill rodents, and it causes more harm than good - dead stinky rats, and it doesn't solve the problem. Call us for correct Lewisville rat removal. Read more about how to get rid of rats.

Bat removal is a highly specialized task. Texas is known to have colonizing bats who often live in buildings. Bats love attics. If not removed, the colony can grow to a very large size over the years. The bat droppings are often corrosive and cause health risks. The same goes for bird droppings on or in buildings. We perform Lewisville pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Lewisville bat removal. We remove 100% of the bat colony and seal the building so that it's totally bat-proof. Read more about how to get rid of bats.

If you have animals inside a house, no job is complete without proper exclusion repairs. If you simply hire a Lewisville trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Lewisville wildlife control company that identifies 100% of the animal entry points into your building, and seals them shut with professional repairs. In addition, in many cases animals have left waste or contamination behind, and you'll want a company that can provide professional cleaning services. Red Rover Rodent Removal does both.

The above are just some of the services offered by Red Rover Rodent Removal. We also trap and remove animals that destroy lawns, such as moles, or digging animals. Sometimes animals like opossums will live under buildings, steal pet food, raid garbage cans, etc. Read about how to get rid of opossums. Skunks commonly live under sheds or decks, and set up a den. We can trap and remove them without them spraying. Read about how to get rid of skunks. Red Rover Rodent Removal also provides dead animal removal in Lewisville. If you need help with any other wildlife conflict, from a fox, beaver, groundhog, or any other critter, we can solve it. We also do Lewisville snake removal - most of the snakes in Texas are not venomous, but call us if you want safe removal, or read about how to get rid of snakes in Lewisville. And remember, we are a private business, not Denton County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at (972) 219-3478. Denton County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

Lewisville Wildlife Tip #1:
What to Do About a Cage-Shy (hard to trap) Raccoon

What to do about a cage-shy raccoon? Raccoons are animals that may appear friendly and scary at the same time. These animals sometimes intrude people's homes. People who have a raccoon infestation in their home usually end up trying to create an entrapment that either catches or kills the raccoons.

The ruthless methods are usually performed when a raccoon is cage-shy. A cage-shy raccoon makes the capture hard to do and it requires a lot of work and effort. In this article, we will teach you how to catch a cage-shy raccoon. We hope that reading this article will help you in catching that annoying cage-shy raccoon.

Set the Best Time

When it seems that you are dealing with a cage-shy raccoon, it is a must to set a time when capturing this raccoon type. For example, the best time to catch a cage-shy raccoon, according to the American and Canadian wildlife experts, is November.

However, if you live in the south part of United States and you are having problems with a cage-shy raccoon, then the best time to get rid of that annoying raccoon is during the summer season. The food supplies are abundant during the summer season so there are many choices of bait foods, from fruits to kernels.

Set the Best Place

Placing the trap is vital to ensure whether your bait lures the raccoon or not. The best place you can place your raccoon trap is near the den of your raccoons.

You can also place your trap near a water edge since raccoons are known to wash their food before they eat it. If your raccoon is cage-shy, then it is important to strictly use a legal method to catch it. Also, you should be careful not to catch other wild animals instead of a raccoon.

Set the Bait Right

The bait you will use to catch a cage-shy raccoon depends on the season. During the summer season, we recommend you to use sweet foods to bait your raccoon.

Two great raccoon food baits are watermelon and kernels. A cage-shy raccoon especially loves the smell of kernels and watermelons.

Bottom Line

In case you weren't able to catch a cage-shy raccoon, we strongly recommend you to hire your local wildlife removal service and explain them situation. These people have experience in catching cage-shy raccoons and they will most likely succeed at first try to catch a raccoon which is hard to trap.

Lewisville Wildlife Tip #2:


Texas Wildlife Information:

Texas State bird: Northern mockingbird
State mammal: Nine-banded armadillo, Texas longhorn, Mexican free-tailed bat
State reptile: Texas horned lizard
State amphibian: Texas Toad
State fish: Guadalupe bass
State insect: Monarch butterfly

Texas, the second largest state in the United States, has multiple climate regions, and thus very unpredictable weather patterns. Not only can Texas have tornados, it can be hit with devastating hurricanes or extended periods of drought. West Texas often sees snow, whereas East Texas is almost always hot and dry. Some areas receive ample rain; some areas receive none. All of this variability means any animals living in Texas need to be ready for just about anything.

The regions in Texas where vegetation is scarce and the sun beats down are the prime locations for the many different lizard species living in the state. Of those, the Texas horned lizard spends its days eating the ample supply of ants which also thrive in the dry environment. The desert tortoise also likes to spend time out in the sun, eating prickly pear fruit. Unfortunately, these critters who love to be out in the open are often prey to one of Texas's largest nuisance animals, the coyote. More a bane to farmers, coyotes are opportunistic creatures, smart enough to evade capture and devious enough to break through inadequate fencing. Other large Texas predators, like the cougar and the bobcat, tend to be leery of people, spending most of their time in the scrub forests surrounding rivers like the Rio Grande.

A lack of large predators does not give the state any break from nuisance animals, however. Just like other, smaller states, Texas has significant issues with rodent infestations, including that of rats, mice, and squirrels. Another small animal pest, though not a rodent, is the Mexican free-tail bat, a common creature in the Texas skies at dusk. Bats love to take up residence in attics around the region, and because most areas in Texas are mild during the winter months, the bats will remain all year.

Armadillos also make their presence known in yards around the state. Texas is naturally dry, and a lush yard, which is likely irrigated, will hold a much more enticing amount of bugs for the armored critter. An armadillo can do serious damage to a yard in just one night. If that's not enough, Texas has a good number of both venomous and non-venomous snakes, all of which will be drawn to places with water supplies; aka: pools and ponds.
