Round Rock Wildlife Animal Control

Professional Wildlife Removal Company Servicing Round Rock, TX

If you have a problem with wildlife in your Round Rock 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 Round Rock, and I recommend the following:

Professional Wildlife Services
Cell Phone: 512-441-8611

NOTE: If you have a dog or cat problem, call Williamson County Animal Services: (512) 218-5500



Professional Wildlife Services 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 Professional Wildlife Services 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 512-441-8611 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 Williamson 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

  • Professional Wildlife Services is a full-service Round Rock wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Round Rock pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all similar to wildlife removal. Professional Wildlife Services 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.

    Round Rock 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 Round Rock raccoon removal. Read more about how to get rid of raccoons.

    Animals in attics - this is our specialty at Professional Wildlife Services. 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 Round Rock 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 Round Rock 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 Round Rock 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 Round Rock pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Round Rock 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 Round Rock trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Round Rock 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. Professional Wildlife Services does both.

    The above are just some of the services offered by Professional Wildlife Services. 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. Professional Wildlife Services also provides dead animal removal in Round Rock. 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 Round Rock 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 Round Rock. And remember, we are a private business, not Williamson County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at (512) 218-5500. Williamson County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

    Round Rock Wildlife Tip #1:
    Do relocated mice survive?

    You might think that you are being kind by trapping mice and releasing them back in to the wild. While you probably have good intentions, it is highly unlikely that mice relocated by a layman will survive more than a few days. There are several reasons for this.

    1) Mice are territorial by nature, and male's ae very protective of their females. If you drop mice in an area already run by a family of mice, they are more likely to kill the intruders than to accept them.
    2) Mice need a suitable source of food and water to live. If you drop them off in an area that does not have food or water that suits their diet they could starve.
    3) Mice are food for several different predators. Often wooded areas are full of the types of birds, coyotes, big cats, and other creatures that eat mice.
    4) Mice have become domesticated in their own way, and are used to living inside in a controlled temperature with comfortable nests, and easily accessible food and water that they don't have to hunt, forage, or fight for. Many times, these creatures simply don't know how to survive in the wild any more than your cat or dog would.

    If you want to be kind yet still get rid of these creatures a good lethal trap might be more humane. At least if they are killed quickly they are not left to suffer slowly and die in the wild. You could also call an animal removal service to handle your problems and let them take care of everything from trapping the mice to removal, and disposal. You can even request that they live trap the animals. Another reasonable option is to call a local wildlife rehabilitator to come and take the animals after you have trapped them. These centers do a variety of things with the mice that they receive, but all of them are done in the best interest of the animal. When they relocate mice, they have researched the "drop off" spot to make sure it is not overly populated with mice. They look at available food, water, and nesting spots to make sure the mouse has a fighting chance. The mice are left with a bit of food and water as well as a temporary shelter designed to hide them from predators. These trained professionals know the area they use will offer the mouse its best chance of survival. A positive aspect about relocating a mouse is that if it is eaten, you have helped a predator survive and helped to perpetuate the natural food chain.

    Round Rock 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 Professional Wildlife Services, any time of day, at 512-441-8611, for a price quote for Round Rock wildlife control services. I am confident that this is the best choice amongst wildlife removal companies in Round Rock, TX.
