If you have a problem with wildlife in your Hot Springs home, your best option is to hire a company that specializes in Arkansas 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 Arkansas and Hot Springs, and I recommend the following:
NOTE: If you have a dog or cat problem, call Garland County Animal Services: (501) 262-2091
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. Arkansas 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 501-228-8910 to discuss your critter problem and schedule a same-day or next-day appointment. Click here to learn more about

When hiring a company to solve your wild animal problem, you want these features:
Wildlife X Team is a full-service Hot Springs wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Hot Springs 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.
Hot Springs wildlife trapping - it's not as simple as it may seem. It's illegal in Arkansas 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 Arkansas law. We offer Hot Springs 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 Hot Springs 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 Hot Springs 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 Hot Springs rat removal. Read more about how to get rid of rats.
Bat removal is a highly specialized task. Arkansas 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 Hot Springs pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Hot Springs 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 Hot Springs trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Hot Springs 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 Hot Springs. 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 Hot Springs snake removal - most of the snakes in Arkansas are not venomous, but
call us if you want safe removal, or read about how to get rid of snakes in Hot Springs. And remember, we are a private business, not Garland County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at (501) 262-2091.
Garland County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.
Every wildlife removal situation is different, from the species of animals involved, the location of the animal inside a house or outside, the extent of repairs or cleanup, etc. It's impossible to give one-size-fits-all prices. Examples MIGHT include:
Small Job: For example, a one-stop job to remove an animal in the yard: $100 on up
Medium Job: For example, getting critters out of your house with minor repairs: $300 on up
Large Job: For example, a project involving many service trips and complex work: $500 on up
Give us a phone call now and tell us about your wildlife issue and we will be able to give you a price estimate over the phone. If you're cool with it, we can schedule a same-day or next-day appointment if you like. Our prices are fair, and a good value because we do the job right, the first time.
Hot Springs Wildlife Tip #1:
How To Keep Squirrels Away From Your Property
Squirrels are a combination of a lot of things. They are stubborn, persistent and agile. Once they set your house as their new location, you are in some trouble. The main reason squirrels prefer home as their best residing location is because they are nice and cosy and it can be a great place for the mother squirrel to take care of the young ones. They can find their way through anything and would do anything to gain access to your property.
There are a number of ways with which you can keep the squirrels away from your property:
Remove all sources of food
The main reason of squirrels living on the property is because of the food. They aren't going to leave if they keep finding food. So you might want to look at their food sources. You should rake up all the acorns, nuts and berries that are dropped in your yard by the trees. They are number one food source of squirrels. Another thing which you should do is place a lock on the trash can. Or you can buy a trash can which has a tight lid.
Make all the bird feeders squirrel proof
Another food source of the squirrels are the bird seeds. They keep on eating them and this gives them another reason to stay at that place. The first thing which you should do is buy a squirrel guard that will prevent the squirrels to reach the bird feeder in the first place. Also do not place the bird feeder close to the trees as the squirrels can use the branches to jump over it.
Protect the property with a fence
If you do not take measure to place the fence around your garden then they will tear off all the vegetables. Using a fence is a great way to protect the property and keeping the squirrels away for good.
Keep them away from wood
Squirrels are also rodents and their teeth keep on growing continuously. They keep chewing all the times many surfaces such as wood and wooden furniture and this way they make a hole in them. You can stop them from doing this by spraying hot sauce on the wood. We all know what would happen if they ingest hot sauce.
Close all the holes
Another way to keep squirrels out of the property is to shut down all the holes in your house. Squirrels are small creatures and they can find their way inside the house or the garden using holes. So if you find any holes inside the house, make sure to either fill them up with some material or close them permanently.
