Wildlife Problems in Richardson

Richardson, TX, sees frequent wildlife issues due to the city's rapid growth and humid climate. Animals often invade yards and homes in search of food or shelter. Some pests linger all year long, causing endless trouble for residents.

Raccoons in the City

Raccoons are a common sight in Texas neighborhoods. These pests frequently den under porches and attics for shelter from the heat or cold. Residents with a flourishing raccoon population nearby may notice communal waste piles, called latrines, in their yards. Use caution around raccoon droppings, as they can transmit dangerous parasites.

Squirrel Invaders

Richardson homeowners may see squirrels digging in lawns to find or bury nuts and seeds. These agile climbers enter attics through broken vents or loose shingles. A squirrel can also carry ticks and fleas that pose a health threat to both people and pets.

Richardson Bats

Bats in Richardson eat problem insects like mosquitoes and flies, but their droppings can be harmful. When fungal spores from bat waste become airborne, residents are at risk of catching diseases. Bats also transmit rabies through scratches and bites, which can become life-threatening if left untreated

More Texas Pests

Mice and opossums are two other nuisances in Richardson. A mouse can easily squeeze into small openings to access food and safe shelter in homes. Once indoors, rodents contaminate pantry goods with their waste. Opossums also move into residential areas searching for food. The pests often feed on mice or insects in yards.

Our current technician is very good.  He always calls us the day before so we know when he is coming.  He also has done a very good job keeping pocket gophers in check.

Mike did our service today. He was awesome! He addressed and resolved a couple of critter issues we were having. It's really helpful to be reminded when he was coming and texted me when he was on his way. Thank you for the great service!

We appreciate that your company was able to rid our property of the squirrel activity that we observed. We were concerned that the squirrels would dig under the foundation of our house (which had happened to a neighbor in our area).

Thank you for doing what you said you would do to eliminate this squirrel activity.

We personally have a bad infestation for a while, Critter Control has been stellar in the customer service/ communication department, We are still working on the infestation but CC has been absolutely above and beyond our expectations with some of our projects hurdles.

It has been very effective at reducing the number of mice, lizard, and snake sightings. During one visit Edgar removed a rattlesnake he came across. We may see a snake maybe two to three times during the spring and summer months, but it has been far less than before.

Melinda is a true professional.  She has helped us maintain a "critter-free" home.  Whenever a mole decides to visit our property, she is right on top of it.  Her recommendations about mosquito control made a big difference for my boys to be able to enjoy our backyard.

We use Critter Control to deter snakes. We haven't seen any since using the monthly service. They are quick to answer questions and explain snake behavior. Also, if any are found they remove them with no extra charge.

Have been using for almost 10 years after a record rat invasion. The help I had back then was like a super-helpful friend taking a few weeks to rid me of that invasion. Over the years I have had a few other representatives. They are always nice and helpful.

On recommendations from a nearby pest control company, I called Critter Control for suspicious bat droppings.

Madison came out the same day to do an inspection. She was knowledgeable, thorough, and highly professional. She examined the ‘matter’ that had been scattered on my threshold and thought it was foliage. But she then asked to go up to my attic space where the bats could be roosting. She had to walk up 3 flights of stairs with a heavy ladder. She again spent some time searching all the nooks and crannies and found nothing.

She seemed so interested in her craft, it was truly inspiring to see! She reassured me and is writing up a prevention strategy for my appraisal. She charged me NOTHING!! I am so impressed. We need more Madisons in this world!

Daniel did a great job pigeon proofing. We have a huge pigeon problem in our neighborhood and the pigeons were roosting in the gutters of my house and my two next door neighbors, who also had nests in their gutters and under their air conditioner. Pigeon poop filled our gutters, and was piled on the outside floor when I bought the house. Since Daniel's pigeon proofing, and my neighbors also pigeon proofing their gutters, fireplace chimney, air conditioners, and removal of nest, I rarely see pigeons any more. Only the lovely native sparrows, robins, vermillion fly catchers, and mourning doves visit our property now.
