If you have a problem with wildlife in your Stillwater home, your best option is to hire a company that specializes in Oklahoma 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 Oklahoma and Stillwater, and I recommend the following:

Wildlife X Team
Cell Phone: 405-694-4822

NOTE: If you have a dog or cat problem, call Payne County Animal Services: (405) 372-0334

Wildlife X Team specializes primarily in removing animals from attics of homes and buildings - this includes squirrels in attics, raccoons, and rats or mice in homes. Oklahoma also has a documented problem with bats in buildings, and Wildlife X Team is specially trained in bat removal. They also perform general wildlife trapping services, such as the capture and removal of skunks or opossums on the property. Call 405-694-4822 to discuss your critter problem and schedule a same-day or next-day appointment. Click here to learn more about what prices we charge in 2020.

When hiring a company to solve your wild animal problem, you want these features:

• Specializes in wildlife removal, not pest control
• Fully Oklahoma and Payne County licensed and insured
• Works 7 days per week (critters don't take weekends off)
• Performs full building inspections: enters and inspects attic
• Performs exclusion repairs, with guarantee against animal re-entry
• Offers cleanup of biohazardous wildlife waste



Wildlife X Team is a full-service Stillwater wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Stillwater pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all similar to wildlife removal. Wildlife X Team 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.

Stillwater wildlife trapping - it's not as simple as it may seem. It's illegal in Oklahoma 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 Oklahoma law. We offer Stillwater raccoon removal. Read more about how to get rid of raccoons.

Animals in attics - this is our specialty at Wildlife X Team. 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 Stillwater 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 Stillwater 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 Stillwater rat removal. Read more about how to get rid of rats.

Bat removal is a highly specialized task. Oklahoma 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 Stillwater pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Stillwater 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 Stillwater trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Stillwater 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. Wildlife X Team does both.

The above are just some of the services offered by Wildlife X Team. 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. Wildlife X Team also provides dead animal removal in Stillwater. 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 Stillwater snake removal - most of the snakes in Oklahoma are not venomous, but call us if you want safe removal, or read about how to get rid of snakes in Stillwater. And remember, we are a private business, not Payne County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at (405) 372-0334. Payne County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

Stillwater Wildlife Tip #1:
What Are Raccoons Scared Of?

If you've ever had an encounter with a racoon, chances are you try to make sure you get as far away from it as possible. Racoons are some of the smartest animals on the planet. They love finding their way inside trash cans, garages, attics, and other places where they are unwelcome. Next time you encounter a racoon, here are some things to remember that could scare them off.

Raccoons hate loud, high-pitched noises, so if you find that one has invaded the inside of your kitchen or basement, try to find an item that you can use to make as much noise as possible. Usually, the racoon will run back whichever way it came from. Great examples of things you could use are pots and pans, bowls, whistles...anything loud should do the trick.

Another thing that could scare them off is spraying them with a water hose. If you happen to be outside in your garden, and notice a racoon trying to get into your trash cans, using the aid of a water hose allows you to keep your distance while frightening the racoon into retreating. Also, water is safe and does not harm the racoon. This is probably one of the most effective ways. <

> One more item that you could use to intimidate or scare a racoon is mace or pepper spray. This will only be effective if you feel courageous enough to get close to the racoon. You would need to aim directly for the eyes or the nose. Using mace/pepper spray would catch the rodent off guard and get him to run back to where he came from.

If you are experiencing an issue with racoons more than a few times a week, you should be aware that you must remain consistent. There could be a family of them near your home, and there may be young babies that the mother may try to protect. Stay alert and cautious when dealing with these wild animals. Call animal control if you can't get them to stop invading your home. They are trained to confine and restrain racoons in a safe way, and can usually release them back into the wild after they've removed them from your home. Remember, if you ever meet a racoon or one happens to find its way into your house, any of the methods listed would be more effective than yelling and panicking.

Stillwater Wildlife Tip #2:


Oklahoma Wildlife Information:

Oklahoma State bird: Scissor-tailed flycatcher
State mammal: Bison
State reptile: Common collared lizard
State amphibian: North American bullfrog
State fish: White bass
State insect: European honeybee

Oklahoma is a land filled with lush grasslands, absent of tall mountains. The state does have numerous mountain ranges, but most of these are mesa-like, surrounding canyons and winding rivers. Of all the states in the country, Oklahoma is one of the most diverse when it comes to habitats. Though only 24 percent of the region is forested, there are areas of wetlands, grasslands, woodlands, and semi-arid zones. The state sits in the midst of the Great Plains, and it is subject to severe weather throughout the year. The weather is mostly warm and wet, though temperature differences can be significant between the north and south parts of the state.

Being in the central Great Plains, it's not surprising to learn that bison still roam this region. Rampant slaughter of the large grazing animals during the early years of the country almost wiped the species out. Now, as a protected animal, bison once again roam the grasslands along with herds of elk and white-tailed deer. There are not many large predators in the state. Black bears are the largest, but they rarely go after something as large as a deer, being content to forage for berries and insects. Coyotes are the primary predator and are scattered around the region. Wolves were once native to the state, but the last wolf in Oklahoma was seen back in the 1930's.

A state with abundant grassland will be a state with an abundance of small animals. The wide spaces are ideal for prairie dogs, and these little creatures can prove very detrimental to farmers and their equipment. Other nuisance animals are bats, skunks, rats, mice, squirrels, and armadillos.

The state has a fair portion of wetlands in the south where semi-aquatic animals spend their time. The entirety of Oklahoma is fed by some 500 rivers and streams. It is the state with the most man-made reservoirs. In the wetlands, cypress trees conceal the American alligator, turtles, snakes, birds, and lizards. A common nuisance animal, the raccoon, is particularly fond of the swamp lands, sneaking in to steal eggs from birds and lizards alike. State conservationists looking to monitor the wetlands pay close attention to the raccoon population. If the raccoons vanish, something is wrong in the ecosystem.

You can always call Wildlife X Team, any time of day, at 405-694-4822, for a price quote for Stillwater wildlife control services. I am confident that this is the best choice amongst wildlife removal companies in Stillwater, OK.
