Snakes in DeSoto

The warm sun in DeSoto, TX, provides the perfect habitat for snakes. A number of relatively harmless species are native to northern Texas, but some, like copperheads and cottonmouths, are venomous.

Copperheads are orange with dark bands and typically found close to water in the spring. Cottonmouths, also known as water moccasins, have dark bodies with white inside their mouths. They prefer areas like swamps or marshes.

Both species are pit vipers and may bite when startled. These snake bites cause pain, swelling, and skin discoloration. The pests lounge in high grass and occasionally enter homes, causing panic.

Pests with Rabies

Because it is fatal, rabies is a major concern for the residents of DeSoto. There are several pests common to the area that can transmit the disease through bites, such as coyotes and raccoons.

Now used to living in residential areas, coyotes are attracted to the smell of garbage and compost in yards. They prey on small pets and could attack humans if threatened.

A raccoon is willing to eat anything. These pests will go where there are resources and can become aggressive if their food is removed.

Tom came out and removed a family of racoons from an attic in one of our rental properties. He was timely, communicated promptly and also had solutions to present. I'd recommend Critter Control.

Critter Control was very easy to work with. They came right out and identified the problem of a raccoon in my attic. They told me the plan to take care of the problem and explain everything to me. Very friendly and professional.

Birds had punched a hole through the facia in our home and were beginning to nest. We also had wasps beginning to nest under our siding. Tom investigated and fixed whatever we thought were a problems. Overall good job! Thanks

They did what they said they would do. Price was fair and their service was outstanding. I couldn’t have been happier with the technicians they sent out or the people I spoke to over the phone. Quality people all around and a company that stands behind their word.

They have saved me from both raccoons and squirrels. Very convenient and easy to work with. I hope I don't have to call them again (because I hope I never have another wild animal problem again). However, if I do, I can rest easy knowing where to find professionals who know their stuff.

Critter Control performed a very thorough examination of our house and identified animal entry points and the type of critters that frequent our home. They fully explained the remediation plan for our home including scheduled follow up visits. We feel comfortable that this company will eliminate our critter problem once and for all.
