Raccoons are well adapted to live in Dallas, especially near water, green belts, and wooded areas. They can be a problem at any time of year, but their activity ramps up in spring as they search for food, mates, and nesting sites after winter.

Raccoons across Dallas overturn trash cans, raid gardens, and travel miles between food stashes. Indoors, they shred drywall, chew wiring, and nest in insulation, chimneys, or vents—creating fire hazards and costly repairs.

Norway and roof rats, plus house mice, invade homes unseen, leaving gnawed wires, siding, cabinets and yard burrows as evidence. Squeezing through small gaps, these disease-carrying rodents breed rapidly. Learn about managing rats and mice.

Opossum in Attic

No one wants to share their attics with opossums for safety, health, and property damage reasons. Opossums are excellent climbers. Raising their joeys in a warm, safe place is the most likely reason an opossum has chosen an attic. Opossums in the attic damage insulation, contaminate the attic, and spread diseases to you and your family. contaminate
