Texas Wildlife Problems
With almost no snowfall and year-round warm weather, Grand Prairie, TX, seems like an oasis to many people. Unfortunately, a variety of wildlife pests feel the same way. Residents often find nuisance species sneaking into their homes to catch a break from the sun or prowling their yards for the chance to snag an easy meal.
Nesting Squirrels
One of the most frequent Texas backyard pests, squirrels sometimes forgo nesting in trees and attempt to get into chimneys and attics. A number of ticks and fleas live in squirrel fur. These parasites can lead to the spread of disease inside Grand Prairie homes.
Raccoon Damage
Like squirrels, raccoons see attics and uncapped chimneys as ideal nesting spots. The protection afforded by enclosed spaces makes them feel safe enough to give birth. Having a raccoon litter indoors can damage homes and increases the risk of a surprise encounter with these pests.
The Trouble with Bats
Bats eat mosquitoes and keep insect populations down, which is an important job in humid Grand Prairie. However, the pests may also roost in attics. Bat colonies make a lot of noise at night as they leave these sites to hunt. Their droppings accumulate quickly, which presents a serious disease risk.
Foraging Pests in Texas
Opossums and coyotes are common in backyards. Both animals wander into neighborhoods in search of food. Either pest may scavenge from trash cans or eat pet food left outdoors. Opossum or coyote attacks on humans are rare, but both pests have sharp teeth and may turn hostile if threatened.

Testimonials
Tom Hanson is awesome! We're renovating and the roof is opened up, so here come the rats. So gross. I contacted Critter Control via their website, got a call back within the hour, and Tom was on property the next morning. He studied our situation and gave thorough, thoughtful advice—which did not include using their services! Instead, he taught us how to manage the situation until we can deploy a more permanent solution. When the house is sealed up again, Tom and Critter Control will return to ensure the complete removal of all unwanted creatures. Thank you, Tom and Critter Control. We appreciate your great service!
Cooper was punctual, knowledgeable, and reassuring. His trained eye noticed things we would not have seen. His investigation was thorough and answered all of questions. Highly recommend.

I am so glad I had Critter Control come and inspect my house! The problem was located and fixed immediately and since then I have not had any more problems with bats. Money well spent!!!
I connected Critter Control Orlando and was surprised, though elated that an actual person quickly answered. She was pleasant and efficiently scheduled a visit to my house to solve my varmit problem. The appointment was the next day. As arranged, I got a call from Ryan the next morning to tell me his eta. He arrived right on time and after explaining the procedure, got right to work. After a survey of our attic, he told us the problem and gave us a price to fix it. He explained exactly what would be done and an approximate number of visits it would take. I found Ryan to be easy to communicate with and an excellent customer relations person. I will be recommending Critter Control to my friends and neighbors.
We had a raccoon in the attic and this team of professional workers caught him after days of detective work. It was a pleasure working with them and having them at my house. I especially want to thank John and Kenzie!
After months of fighting moles in our yard ourselves and with the help of a landscaper, with no success, Critter Control caught a mole within a week. Very reasonably priced and very thorough. They’re the experts! We should have called them a lot sooner.
Justin was very professional and he and his team did the work quickly and thoroughly. This is a nice company to work with.
