Common Wildlife Control Issues in the Greater San Antonio Area

We work with people on a wide range of challenges. Some of the most frequent issues that property owners deal with are these:

Raccoons in the Attic

Raccoons are notorious for seeking shelter in attics, where they can cause significant damage by tearing up insulation, chewing on electrical wires, and contaminating the space with their droppings. These nocturnal creatures can also be quite noisy, disturbing your peace with their scratching and thumping sounds. Addressing a raccoon infestation quickly is essential to prevent structural damage and potential health risks associated with their waste.

Squirrels in the Walls

Squirrels are agile climbers and often find their way into wall cavities, where they build nests and store food. This behavior can lead to chewed wiring, which poses a fire hazard, as well as structural damage from their gnawing and nesting activities. Squirrels may also introduce parasites such as fleas and ticks into your home.

Bats in the Chimney

Bats can be beneficial for controlling insect populations, but when they roost in chimneys or attics, they become a concern. Bat guano can accumulate, causing unpleasant odors and potential health hazards due to harmful pathogens. Additionally, bats can carry rabies, posing a risk to humans and pets.

Snakes in the Gardens

The warm climate of San Antonio attracts various snake species, some of which may venture into gardens and yards. While many snakes are non-venomous and beneficial for controlling rodent populations, encounters with venomous species like rattlesnakes can be dangerous.

Opossums Under the Decks

Opossums are scavengers that often seek shelter under decks, porches, and sheds. They can create messes by rummaging through garbage and may carry diseases or parasites that affect both people and pets. Their presence can also attract other pests.

Armadillos Digging in the Lawn

Armadillos are known for their digging habits, which can damage lawns, gardens, and landscaping as they search for insects and grubs. Their burrows can also undermine structures like patios and driveways.

Birds Nesting in the Vents

Birds often seek out the warmth and safety of vents to build their nests, which can obstruct airflow and create fire hazards. Nesting materials and droppings can also lead to unpleasant odors and health concerns associated with bird mites and other parasites.

Skunks in the Basement

Skunks are shy but can be problematic when they take up residence in basements or crawl spaces. Besides the obvious issue of their foul-smelling spray, skunks can carry diseases such as rabies and leptospirosis. Addressing skunk invasions requires careful handling to avoid triggering their defensive spray.

Rats and Mice in the House

Rodents like rats and mice are common invaders that can cause extensive damage by gnawing on wires, insulation, and wood. They can present significant health risks as carriers of diseases and may contaminate your food sources.

Whether your wildlife challenge is one of these common issues or something more unique, don’t hesitate to call our office at (830) 465-4818.

Wildlife Prevention Tips

The easiest way to deal with wildlife is to proactively keep it off your property. That’s easier said than done, especially in the Greater San Antonio area. These steps can help:

Secure trash and food sources: Ensure that your garbage cans have tight-fitting lids and store them in a secure area. Avoid leaving pet food outside overnight, as it can attract various wildlife, such as raccoons, opossums, and rodents.
Seal the entry points: Regularly inspect your home for potential entry points, like gaps in the foundation, broken vents, or damaged roof tiles. Seal these openings with durable materials to prevent animals from entering your house and creating nests.
Maintain your landscaping: Trim overhanging tree branches and shrubs close to your home, as they can be bridges for animals like squirrels and raccoons. Keep your lawn well-maintained and free of debris to discourage snakes and other ground-dwelling creatures.
Install fencing: Erecting fences around your garden and yard can deter larger animals such as deer, coyotes, and feral hogs. Make sure that the fencing is buried several inches underground to prevent animals from burrowing beneath it.

Use wildlife deterrents: Employ motion-activated lights, sprinklers, and ultrasonic devices to scare away nocturnal animals. These deterrents can be effective in keeping creatures like skunks and raccoons at bay without harming them.
Remove attractants: Clear away potential nesting materials such as piles of wood, leaves, and unused building materials. Reducing these attractants can make your property less appealing to wildlife looking for shelter.
Install chimney caps and vent covers: By installing appropriate covers, you can prevent birds, bats, and other small animals from entering your home through the chimneys and vents. These barriers help keep wildlife out while maintaining proper airflow.
Keep the pet areas clean: Regularly clean up pet waste and secure any outdoor animal enclosures. This reduces the likelihood of attracting predators and scavengers looking for an easy meal.
Properly store firewood: Stack firewood at least 20 feet away from your home and elevate it off the ground. This practice helps prevent rodents and insects from using the woodpile as a nesting site and then migrating into your house.
