Austin Wild Animals
Wild animals such as raccoons, squirrels, possums and rodents abound in our Greater Austin urban environment and are very opportunistic. Open trash cans as well as pet food bowls and water dishes offer plenty of water and food sources for wild animals. They tend to reside nearby and raise their families in attics, garages and, debris around your home. In addition to causing extensive physical damage to insulation, wood and electrical wires, wild animals defecate where they please and pose a risk to your family and pets. Wild animals not only bite and scratch when threatened and spread harmful bacteria but they are also the vectors for fleas, pests and parasites that spread dangerous diseases and viruses to humans.

Removing wild animals is very important; but even more so is determining how they entered you home in the first place.
