When a raccoon takes up residence in your attic or an armadillo tears through your yard at night, you need more than a quick fix — you need someone who knows Central Texas wildlife and knows how to get it out for good. Angel Home and Commercial Services has been protecting homes and businesses across the region since 1987, and our wildlife removal in Seguin, TX combines proven trapping methods with long-term exclusion strategies to keep unwanted animals from coming back. We handle everything from opossums and skunks to squirrels and rodents, serving both residential and commercial properties throughout Central Texas.
Common Wildlife Problems in Central Texas
Central Texas is home to a wide variety of wildlife, and many of those animals are constantly looking for food, water, and shelter — which sometimes means your home or business is exactly what they find. Raccoons pry open attic vents and nest in insulation. Squirrels chew through electrical wiring inside your walls. Armadillos burrow under foundations and landscaping. Skunks den beneath porches and decks. Opossums slip into crawl spaces and garages. And rodents — well, rodents find a way into nearly everything.
These aren’t just nuisances. Wildlife intrusions can cause serious structural damage, contaminate living spaces, and expose your family or employees to dangerous diseases. If you’ve been hearing scratching in the walls, noticing torn insulation, or finding burrow holes around your property, it’s time to call in professional help.
Animals We Remove and Relocate
Our team handles a full range of wildlife common to this part of Texas:
- Raccoons — intelligent and persistent, often found in attics, chimneys, and garages
- Opossums — frequently den under structures and inside crawl spaces
- Squirrels — notorious for chewing wiring and nesting in attic insulation
- Armadillos — burrowing animals that can undermine foundations and destroy lawns
- Skunks — capable of denning close to structures and posing a spray risk
- Rodents (rats and mice) — entry through the smallest gaps, often inside walls and attics
Whether you’re a homeowner in Seguin or a business manager dealing with persistent wildlife issues in San Antonio, our experienced technicians know how these animals behave and where they hide.
Our Trapping and Exclusion Process
We use two primary methods to address wildlife problems: active trapping and exclusion.
Trapping is the first step when an animal is already inside or actively accessing your property. We place humane traps in strategic locations based on the animal’s behavior, entry points, and activity patterns. Once captured, animals are relocated in accordance with applicable guidelines — getting them off your property without unnecessary harm.
Exclusion is how we make sure the problem doesn’t repeat itself. After the animal is removed, our technicians identify and seal the entry points, gaps, and vulnerabilities that allowed access in the first place. This might mean sealing vents, reinforcing crawl space openings, or addressing gaps around rooflines and eaves. Exclusion is the long-term solution — because trapping without it just opens the door for the next animal to move in.
Both residential and commercial properties benefit from this combined approach. For businesses, a recurring wildlife problem can affect customers, employees, and your reputation — our commercial wildlife trapping in Central Texas addresses those concerns efficiently and professionally.
Health Risks of Wildlife in Your Home
Wildlife isn’t just an inconvenience — it’s a genuine health risk. Many of the animals we handle are capable of transmitting serious diseases through bites, scratches, or contact with fecal matter.
- Raccoons are a known carrier of raccoon roundworm, and their droppings can harbor dangerous parasites that are harmful to humans
- Rodents can spread hantavirus, leptospirosis, and salmonella through contact with their urine and droppings
- Skunks and bats (which we refer to local specialists) are among the most common carriers of rabies in Texas
- Opossums, while less likely to carry rabies, can still bite when cornered and carry fleas, ticks, and mites into your home
Wildlife fecal matter — especially from raccoons and rodents — can accumulate in attics and crawl spaces and may require professional cleaning and repairs after the animals are removed. If you’ve had a long-term infestation, the contamination cleanup is just as important as the removal itself. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provides guidance on the health risks associated with rodent and wildlife exposure in occupied structures.
If you’re also dealing with fleas or ticks that wildlife may have introduced to your property, our Flea and Tick Control service can help address that secondary problem at the same time.
Preventing Wildlife from Returning
After removal and exclusion work is complete, ongoing vigilance is your best defense. Here are practical steps to reduce the likelihood of future wildlife intrusions:
- Secure trash cans with locking lids — open bins are a primary attractant for raccoons and opossums
- Remove outdoor food sources including pet food, birdseed, and fallen fruit
- Trim tree branches that hang over or near your roofline, which give squirrels and raccoons easy access
- Seal gaps around your foundation, vents, and eaves before an animal finds them
- Address standing water on your property, which can attract various wildlife in addition to mosquitoes
If you want comprehensive protection that addresses both pest and wildlife pressures, ask us about our Pest Protection Halo Service Packages — designed to keep your home defended year-round with quarterly, bi-monthly, or monthly treatment options.
