If you have a problem with wildlife in your Waxahachie 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 Waxahachie, and I recommend the following:
NOTE: If you have a dog or cat problem, call Ellis County Animal Services: (469) 309-4150
Wildlife Trapping Professionals specializes primarily in removing animals from attics of homes and buildings - this includes squirrels in attics, raccoons, and rats or mice in homes. Texas also has a documented problem with
bats in buildings, and Wildlife Trapping Professionals 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 469-410-3136 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:
Wildlife Trapping Professionals is a full-service Waxahachie wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Waxahachie pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all
similar to wildlife removal. Wildlife Trapping Professionals 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.
Waxahachie 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 Waxahachie raccoon removal. Read more about how to get rid of raccoons.
Animals in attics - this is our specialty at Wildlife Trapping Professionals. 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 Waxahachie 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 Waxahachie 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 Waxahachie 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 Waxahachie pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Waxahachie 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 Waxahachie trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Waxahachie 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 Trapping Professionals does both.
The above are just some of the services offered by Wildlife Trapping Professionals. 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 Trapping Professionals
also provides dead animal removal in Waxahachie. 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 Waxahachie 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 Waxahachie. And remember, we are a private business, not Ellis County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at (469) 309-4150.
Ellis County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.
Every wildlife removal situation is different, from the species of animals involved, the location of the animal inside a house or outside, the extent of repairs or cleanup, etc. It's impossible to give one-size-fits-all prices. Examples MIGHT include:
Small Job: For example, a one-stop job to remove an animal in the yard: $100 on up
Medium Job: For example, getting critters out of your house with minor repairs: $300 on up
Large Job: For example, a project involving many service trips and complex work: $500 on up
Give us a phone call now and tell us about your wildlife issue and we will be able to give you a price estimate over the phone. If you're cool with it, we can schedule a same-day or next-day appointment if you like. Our prices are fair, and a good value because we do the job right, the first time.
Waxahachie Wildlife Tip #1:
Will Repellents Get a Raccoon Out of the Chimney
Raccoon repellents are the first and easiest thing that people can try if they have a raccoon in their chimney. People especially use raccoon repellents if there is an adult female raccoon living in the chimney together with her young.
Old Wives' Tales about Repellents and Animals
Generally, there are a plethora of long-standing old wives' stories about repellents and animals. And there are also a plethora of modern products that are being sold to evict unwanted raccoon critters in people's chimneys as well. However, most of these products are bogus.
Some of the old-fashioned standards in raccoon repellents include ammonia, bleach, naphthalene, and human hair. However, we can only say that all of these old-fashioned raccoon repellents won't help you significantly with getting rid of raccoons living in your chimney.
Professional Wildlife Removers on Raccoon Repellents
Many, if not all, professional wildlife removers and wildlife removal services are strongly against the modern raccoon repellents. These professionals claim that raccoon repellents don't work and that they are fraudulent products.
The idea that a raccoon will leave one's chimney just because of the strong smell of the so-called raccoon repellents is hilarious to professional wildlife removers.
What if a Raccoon Repellent has a Strong Smell?
People believe that if a raccoon repellent they have purchased has a strong smell that it will be efficient in getting raccoons out of their chimney. However, that is not the case with any raccoon repellent, no matter how strong its smell is.
Even in the cases in which the raccoon repellent has a strong smell, that same smell isn't incentive enough to make the raccoon in your chimney leave it. Once an adult female raccoon has established its home inside your chimney, it takes more than an awful smell to make it leave the chimney. But why is that so? Well, if a female raccoon leaves the chimney that would make her leave her young before time; and you already know that mothers won't leave their babies no matter what happens. Simply, raccoons are wild animals that can tolerate almost anything just to keep their home.
Raccoon Eviction Fluid - The Only Effective Raccoon Repellent
The only effective raccoon repellent that will make raccoons leave your chimney is a raccoon eviction fluid. This product only works on a female raccoon with her young.
Raccoon eviction fluid contains the urine of a male raccoon which female raccoons consider as a threat.
Waxahachie 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.
