Once They’re Gone, They’re GONE

When it comes to nuisance wildlife control, removing the animal or animals from the premises is half the battle. Once evicted, what’s to keep the creatures from coming back? That’s where Critter Control comes in.

The technicians at Critter Control of Houston are experts at doing the job and doing it right. To keep unwanted animal guests in your home, you have to consider many variables. Our nuisance wildlife technicians will survey your property for any entrance point or animal enticements and fix the problem. After that, there is no reason or way for unwelcome animals to become repeat offenders.

Living things need four things to survive: air, food, water, and shelter. When one or more of these necessities seems readily available on your property by wildlife, they can and will learn to make themselves at home as well.

Nuisance Wildlife Exclusion 

Wildlife exclusion is the process of creating physical barriers to keep wildlife out of areas they’re not wanted. This can involve sealing off potential entry points, installing screens and netting, or building fences. Wildlife exclusion is a humane and effective method of controlling wildlife, as it prevents them from entering the area without harming them in any way.

Typical Areas for Exclusion

• Chimney – Adding chimney caps and screening can prevent animals from falling in or nesting
• Plumbing Vents – Animals seeking shelter can become stuck in plumbing pipes
• Roof & Fascia Spaces – Poorly sealed points between roof & fascia invite animal entry
• Roof Vents – Lightweight, flimsy vents should be replaced with heavy secure roof vents
• Oven & Bathroom Exhaust Vents – Adding screening to vents helps keep animals out
• Roof/Soffit Intersection – Securing gaps will help prevent animal chewing and entry
• Holes in Siding – Repairing & reinforcing holes will discourage animal infestation
• Porch & Deck – Durable screening around base prevents nesting animals
• Trees & Landscaping – Removal of overhanging tree limbs and encroaching vegetation
• Food – Examining any food sources and access points to the food and minimizing them
