Animal & Wildlife Removal

Wildlife Removal in Houston

Family-Owned Animal Removal Serving Greater Houston Since 1983

When an animal finds its way into your attic, crawl space, or yard, you need a team that knows the property and the region. Chem-Tech Pest & Grounds Care has served Houston, Katy, and Sugar Land residents since 1983, making us one of the longest-running family-owned wildlife and pest control companies in the area. Our licensed, insured, and bonded technicians handle animal removal in Houston homeowners can count on, from first inspection through final exclusion.

Most of our technicians have been with us for over 10 years, and several have exceeded 20. That continuity means the person who shows up at your door isn’t a stranger dispatched from a call center. Free estimates are available, and same-day service is offered for wildlife removal needs.

Ready to get the animal out and the entry point sealed? Call us today at (281) 205-3592 or contact us online for a free estimate. Same-day service is available.

Why Houston Homeowners Choose Chem-Tech Pest & Grounds Care

We work differently. Our low staff turnover policy means we make every effort to send the same technician back to your property for follow-up visits, so you’re working with someone already familiar with your home’s specific conditions. That consistency matters when a job requires multiple trapping trips or staged exclusion work.

Our wildlife control and exclusion work is backed by a service guarantee of up to one year. If an animal returns during that period, we come back at no additional charge. Every removal plan is built around the property in front of us, not a template.

Additional differentiators worth knowing:

EPA-approved, pet-friendly, and kid-friendly products: All treatments and solutions meet EPA standards and are biodegradable.
Customizable scheduling: We work around your calendar, not ours.
Discount for qualifying residents: Senior citizens, military personnel, and first responders receive 10% off their first service.

Wildlife Pressure in Houston: What Homeowners Are Up Against

Houston’s warm, humid climate and dense network of bayous and greenbelts create conditions that keep nuisance wildlife active year-round. Unlike colder climates where winter dormancy provides a seasonal break, Houston’s mild winters mean animals rarely stop moving. Bayou corridors channel raccoons, opossums, skunks, and other animals directly into residential neighborhoods as they search for food and shelter.

Species we commonly handle through wildlife control in Houston include raccoons, squirrels, opossums, bats, armadillos, skunks, and snakes. Raccoons and squirrels are active throughout the year. Bats follow a seasonal pattern, typically active from February through November, and often establish colonies in attic spaces during warmer months.

Signs That Wildlife Has Entered Your Home

Attic intrusion and wall entry are easy to miss until damage is already done. Knowing the warning signs helps you act before chewed wiring, compromised insulation, or structural damage escalates.

Scratching or thumping in walls and ceilings: Especially noticeable at night, this often signals squirrels, raccoons, opossums, or bats.
Chewed wiring, frayed insulation, or gnawed wood: Common indicators of squirrel or rodent activity inside the structure.
Droppings or nesting material: Found near walls, food storage, or attic insulation, these point to an active presence.
Ammonia-like odors: Urine or guano accumulation from bats or rodents in enclosed spaces produces a distinct, persistent smell.
Digging along foundations or under decks: A reliable sign of armadillo or skunk activity on the property.
A single animal sighting indoors: This often means there’s an accessible entry point that needs professional attention.

Texas Wildlife Regulations & What They Mean for Houston Homeowners

Wildlife removal in Houston operates under standards set by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, which governs humane handling requirements and regulates how and where certain species can be relocated. Some species require permits for removal or relocation, and working with an unlicensed provider can leave homeowners inadvertently in violation of state law.

It’s also worth knowing that Houston’s Bureau of Animal Regulation and Care (BARC) handles domestic animals but plays a limited role when it comes to wildlife. According to the City of Houston, BARC doesn’t respond to calls involving common wild animals found outside the living areas of a home or for pest removal such as rodents or bat colony infestations. For those situations, which cover most of the wildlife intrusions Houston homeowners actually face, a licensed wildlife removal service is the right call. Our technicians stay current on local and state wildlife regulations and use lawful, humane trapping and removal practices on every job.

Our Wildlife Trapping & Exclusion Process

Trapping an animal without sealing the entry point is a short-term fix. Our process addresses both, built around the specific conditions of each property.

Property Inspection

We start by identifying the species present, how they gained access, and the extent of any structural vulnerabilities. Even a gap as small as a coin can serve as an entry point for rodents, so we examine the full structure, from roof lines and soffits to crawl spaces and foundation gaps.

Humane Trapping & Removal

Depending on the species and situation, we use humane trapping methods and one-way exclusion devices to remove animals from the structure without causing harm. Each approach is matched to the animal and the property.

Entry-Point Sealing

Once the animal is out, we seal identified access points to help reduce the chance of re-entry. Exclusion work covers soffits, roof lines, crawl spaces, and foundation gaps, and it’s backed by our service guarantee of up to one year. If wildlife returns during that period, we return at no charge.

They were prompt with my appointment time and educated me on things I was unaware of regarding my lawn. I have even recommended them to my friends.

- Chelsea B.
"Great Experience!"
I am very impressed by Gabriel's professionalism and responsiveness! Highly Recommend!

- George P.
"No-Nonsense Company!"
We had a "rodent" in our attic. Chem-Tech on the first inspection determined that it was not a resident animal, and got us to throw moth balls to deter whatever was coming in on occasion.

- Arthur C.
"The Best!"
I've been a regular customer for 29 years. They're the BEST!

- Amy B.
"Great and Honest Company!"
Chris came the next day after my call, which was great, because I was worried, did a very thorough inspection, dug around cracks in the foundation, and confirmed I had no infestation, and the flying insects on my patio were ants.

- Irina M.
"Absolutely Amazing!"
They all go the extra mile. I highly recommend this company. On another note, they just don't take care of pests, but take care of fertilizing and feeding the whole yard!

- Fred M.
"Absolutely Wonderful!"
They are efficient, timely, and effective. Many Thanks for a job well done!

- Barbie W.
"Very Thorough!"
VERY THOROUGH. They found termites in our fence during the inspection to purchase our home.

- Georgette H.
