Grapevine Wildlife Animal Control

Professional Wildlife Removal Company Servicing Grapevine, TX

If you have a problem with wildlife in your Grapevine home, your best option is to hire a company that specializes in Texas wildlife removal only. This is a specialty business, and regular pest control companies do not use the proper techniques to solve animal problems. I have spent many years reviewing Texas and Grapevine, and I recommend the following:

Wildlife X Team
Cell Phone: 817-776-4970

NOTE: If you have a dog or cat problem, call Tarrant County Animal Services: (817) 410-3370



Wildlife X Team specializes primarily in removing animals from attics of homes and buildings - this includes squirrels in attics, raccoons, and rats or mice in homes. Texas also has a documented problem with bats in buildings, and Wildlife X Team is specially trained in bat removal. They also perform general wildlife trapping services, such as the capture and removal of skunks or opossums on the property. Call 817-776-4970 to discuss your critter problem and schedule a same-day or next-day appointment. Click here to learn more about what prices we charge in 2020.

When hiring a company to solve your wild animal problem, you want these features:

  • Specializes in wildlife removal, not pest control
  • Fully Texas and Tarrant County licensed and insured
  • Works 7 days per week (critters don't take weekends off)
  • Performs full building inspections: enters and inspects attic
  • Performs exclusion repairs, with guarantee against animal re-entry
  • Offers cleanup of biohazardous wildlife waste

  • Wildlife X Team is a full-service Grapevine wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Grapevine pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all similar to wildlife removal. Wildlife X Team performs a full inspection of the home or property, and determines why the animal(s) are there, and if inside a building, how the animals got inside. All animals (including rodents) are trapped and removed, or if possible, removed from the building using special exclusion devices. Once the animals are gone, preventative repairs are essential, and cleanup is sometimes recommended.

    Grapevine wildlife trapping - it's not as simple as it may seem. It's illegal in Texas to trap without a license. Trap type is very important and there are many different types, bait is somewhat relevant, trap placement is vital, and there are dozens of small things that are very important to know. Safety is a concern. Then once the animal is trapped, it must be removed and dealt with in the proper manner according to Texas law. We offer Grapevine raccoon removal. Read more about how to get rid of raccoons.

    Animals in attics - this is our specialty at Wildlife X Team. Many types of animals like to live in attics. This includes squirrels, raccoons, rats, mice, bats, birds, and even possums. Critters like to go into attics for a safe place to live and raise their young. Removing animals from attics is very complex work, partly because of the presence of baby animals. If you need Grapevine squirrel removal, we can remove all the squirrels from your attic, and seal out any future ones. Read more about how to get rid of squirrels.

    Rodent control must be done in a very specific way. First off, the most important thing is that all the openings that rats and mice can use to enter a house be sealed. Then all the rodents must be physically trapped and removed. Never, ever use poison! Most Grapevine exterminators will just use this lazy poison technique to kill rodents, and it causes more harm than good - dead stinky rats, and it doesn't solve the problem. Call us for correct Grapevine rat removal. Read more about how to get rid of rats.

    Bat removal is a highly specialized task. Texas is known to have colonizing bats who often live in buildings. Bats love attics. If not removed, the colony can grow to a very large size over the years. The bat droppings are often corrosive and cause health risks. The same goes for bird droppings on or in buildings. We perform Grapevine pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Grapevine bat removal. We remove 100% of the bat colony and seal the building so that it's totally bat-proof. Read more about how to get rid of bats.

    If you have animals inside a house, no job is complete without proper exclusion repairs. If you simply hire a Grapevine trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Grapevine wildlife control company that identifies 100% of the animal entry points into your building, and seals them shut with professional repairs. In addition, in many cases animals have left waste or contamination behind, and you'll want a company that can provide professional cleaning services. Wildlife X Team does both.

    The above are just some of the services offered by Wildlife X Team. We also trap and remove animals that destroy lawns, such as moles, or digging animals. Sometimes animals like opossums will live under buildings, steal pet food, raid garbage cans, etc. Read about how to get rid of opossums. Skunks commonly live under sheds or decks, and set up a den. We can trap and remove them without them spraying. Read about how to get rid of skunks. Wildlife X Team also provides dead animal removal in Grapevine. If you need help with any other wildlife conflict, from a fox, beaver, groundhog, or any other critter, we can solve it. We also do Grapevine snake removal - most of the snakes in Texas are not venomous, but call us if you want safe removal, or read about how to get rid of snakes in Grapevine. And remember, we are a private business, not Tarrant County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at (817) 410-3370. Tarrant County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

    Grapevine Wildlife Tip #1:
    Does poison make mice thirsty and die outside

    Since the time that human beings were first able to start thinking, myths have been created about virtually anything you can think of. This is not just related to such things as Bigfoot, the Loch Ness monster, or other imaginary creatures that have haunted areas across the globe. This also relates to basic everyday kind of things that people thing about.

    One such area is in relation to the use of poisons in trying to handle a problem with my senior home. Frequently, people will find that mice are getting into their pantry, cupboard, or other part of their home and want to take action to get these mice out. To remedy the problem one of the solutions is to use some kind of poison. This can be a highly effective technique in killing off mice and getting your mouse problem under control.

    However, there have been myths that have been generated about the use of poison. One of them is that poisons will make mice thirsty which will inevitably lead them to go outside to die. What you are looking for is to find out if this myth is actually reality?

    Your first thought when you heard this was probably to jump up and down and scream with joy. What a fantastic thing that would be. The mouse eats the poison, becomes incredibly thirsty, and takes itself outside to pass on. No searching around to find where the poison mouse has died. No concern about insects or bacteria flocking to the mouse creating a huge health risk for you and your family. The mouse actually handles the entire situation for you by leaving your home. What more could you ask for than that?

    Sadly, this is not the reality all. As wonderful as this would be if it was true the fact is that when mice eat poison they may look to try to find water somewhere if they believe that will assist them, but this does not mean they are going outside to do so. It may actually mean that they are coming into your kitchen or bathroom to be able to locate a source of water.

    It may also mean that they simply go to their nest or another part in your home, lay down there and pass on. They don't do anything special because of the effects of poison on them. The poison simply starts to shut down their vital organs until the animal winds up dying. This can be in any location in your home, and can mean that the mouse may be thirsty or maybe not.

    This is a great myth and it would be wonderful if it was true but, sadly, it is not. If you have used poison to handle a mouse problem in your home then you need to be aware that after the mice of eaten it then you are going to have to hunt down where they have died so you can clean up afterward.

    Grapevine Wildlife Tip #2:


    Texas Wildlife Information:

    Texas State bird: Northern mockingbird
    State mammal: Nine-banded armadillo, Texas longhorn, Mexican free-tailed bat
    State reptile: Texas horned lizard
    State amphibian: Texas Toad
    State fish: Guadalupe bass
    State insect: Monarch butterfly

    Texas, the second largest state in the United States, has multiple climate regions, and thus very unpredictable weather patterns. Not only can Texas have tornados, it can be hit with devastating hurricanes or extended periods of drought. West Texas often sees snow, whereas East Texas is almost always hot and dry. Some areas receive ample rain; some areas receive none. All of this variability means any animals living in Texas need to be ready for just about anything.

    The regions in Texas where vegetation is scarce and the sun beats down are the prime locations for the many different lizard species living in the state. Of those, the Texas horned lizard spends its days eating the ample supply of ants which also thrive in the dry environment. The desert tortoise also likes to spend time out in the sun, eating prickly pear fruit. Unfortunately, these critters who love to be out in the open are often prey to one of Texas's largest nuisance animals, the coyote. More a bane to farmers, coyotes are opportunistic creatures, smart enough to evade capture and devious enough to break through inadequate fencing. Other large Texas predators, like the cougar and the bobcat, tend to be leery of people, spending most of their time in the scrub forests surrounding rivers like the Rio Grande.

    A lack of large predators does not give the state any break from nuisance animals, however. Just like other, smaller states, Texas has significant issues with rodent infestations, including that of rats, mice, and squirrels. Another small animal pest, though not a rodent, is the Mexican free-tail bat, a common creature in the Texas skies at dusk. Bats love to take up residence in attics around the region, and because most areas in Texas are mild during the winter months, the bats will remain all year.

    Armadillos also make their presence known in yards around the state. Texas is naturally dry, and a lush yard, which is likely irrigated, will hold a much more enticing amount of bugs for the armored critter. An armadillo can do serious damage to a yard in just one night. If that's not enough, Texas has a good number of both venomous and non-venomous snakes, all of which will be drawn to places with water supplies; aka: pools and ponds.

    You can always call Wildlife X Team, any time of day, at 817-776-4970, for a price quote for Grapevine wildlife control services. I am confident that this is the best choice amongst wildlife removal companies in Grapevine, TX.
