What Animals Can We Remove?

The warm climate and expanding urban areas of Houston, Katy, and nearby communities create ideal conditions for wildlife. This leads to more frequent encounters and challenges for homeowners and businesses. You have a reliable wildlife removal partner in Southwest Exterminating. 

Turn to us for issues with the following animals and others:

  • Possums Commonly found in neighborhoods, these nocturnal creatures can create a mess in trash areas and damage property.
  • Raccoons - Intelligent but invasive, raccoons often nest in attics or chimneys, creating safety and health risks.
  • Squirrels - These small mammals can chew through wiring and insulation, causing expensive building damage.
  • General wildlife - From armadillos and skunks to snakes, our team humanely removes any Southeastern Texas animal that has made its way onto your property. 

Houston residents often encounter animals unique to the Gulf Coast, like armadillos and foxes, which may burrow under structures or disturb landscaping. The city’s proximity to bayous and wooded areas can increase the likelihood of animal intrusions, especially during storms or heavy rains. If you live near water or wooded spaces, timely action helps prevent minor wildlife sightings from turning into larger challenges. When you reach out to us, you receive help grounded in local knowledge and matched to the wildlife patterns seen throughout Greater Houston.

Our Wildlife & Animal Removal Process

We take pride in our professional, effective, and humane approach. Here is how we handle animal and wildlife removal:

  1. Inspection - We begin with a thorough assessment of your property to identify entry points, animal activity, and the specific species involved.
  2. Humane removal - We use safe and humane trapping techniques to capture animals. For live trapping, we relocate animals to appropriate habitats away from your property.
  3. Exclusion and prevention - To help stop future issues, we seal entry points, remove sources that attract wildlife, and offer clear advice on protecting your building from animals.
  4. Follow-up visits - When needed, our team can provide follow-up services to reinforce our exclusion efforts or address recurring wildlife concerns. 

We address issues specific to Houston properties, such as wildlife entering through gaps near air conditioning units or attic vents. We also adjust our approach during periods of increased animal activity, like spikes in squirrel and raccoon movement in early spring.
