Wildlife Removal Companies in Texas

Wildlife removal companies trap or exclude animals living in a home and seal the openings the animals used, and every company below offers wildlife removal. Texas law names raccoons, skunks, opossums, foxes and several other animals as fur-bearers, and a landowner or the landowner's agent may take a fur-bearer causing damage on the owner's land. A statewide rabies quarantine makes it illegal to move live foxes, skunks, coyotes and raccoons, with exemptions that include licensed pest management professionals. An exempt person releases one of these animals within 10 miles (16 km) of where the animal was caught and in the same county.

Bats need their own plan. Texas has 33 bat species, some protected by state law, and Texas A&M AgriLife Extension advises contacting Texas Parks and Wildlife before any bat control. Evicting bats in maternity season, from spring to late summer, kills the young left behind. The Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) says not to handle any wildlife, healthy or sick. Ask a company 3 questions: how the company removes animals, where the company releases them and how the company seals the entry points.
