Humane, Thorough & Trusted Animal Control Services

Georgetown’s natural beauty, tree-lined neighborhoods, and proximity to wildlife habitats make it a wonderful place to live—but also an attractive environment for unwanted animal intruders. When wild animals like raccoons, squirrels, skunks, or bats invade your property, they can cause more than just an inconvenience—they threaten your home’s safety and your family’s health. At Critter Stop, we offer expert Georgetown wildlife removal services designed to solve the problem quickly, legally, and humanely.

We don’t just remove wildlife—we seal your home, clean up the mess, and prevent future invasions to ensure lasting peace of mind.

Why Wildlife Intrusions Are Increasing in Georgetown

As neighborhoods in Georgetown continue to expand into natural areas, encounters between residents and wildlife are becoming more frequent. Animals like raccoons, squirrels, and bats adapt quickly to suburban life. Your attic becomes a warm nesting site, your crawlspace a quiet hiding spot, and your trash cans a reliable buffet.

Unfortunately, once wildlife gets inside your home, the damage begins. These animals tear insulation, chew wiring, contaminate surfaces, and can carry harmful diseases. The sooner you act, the easier it is to mitigate risks and avoid expensive repairs.

How to Spot Signs of a Wildlife Problem in Your Home

Most wild animals are stealthy, especially nocturnal species like bats and raccoons. However, there are clear indicators that something might be living where it shouldn’t:

• Unusual Noises at Night – Scratching, rustling, or footsteps coming from your attic or walls.
  
• Chewed Cables or Wood – Gnawed wires, furniture damage, or tooth marks around baseboards.
  
• Unpleasant Smells – Strong odors caused by urine, feces, or even a decomposing animal.
  
• Droppings or Grease Marks – Animal waste or smudge marks near entry points or along travel paths.
  
• Torn Vents or Soffits – Exterior damage indicating animals have found a way inside.
  
• Damage to Your Yard – Skunks, armadillos, and raccoons dig holes, flip mulch, or uproot plants.
  

If you’ve seen any of these signs, it’s time to call in professionals who can properly assess and resolve the issue.

Georgetown’s Most Common Wildlife Invaders

Critter Stop specializes in removing a wide range of wild animals found throughout Central Texas. Here are the species most often responsible for residential intrusions:

• Rats and Mice – Small but destructive, they chew wiring and spread disease.
  
• Squirrels – Often enter attics through small gaps and cause extensive insulation and wire damage.
  
• Raccoons – Highly intelligent and strong, raccoons can rip through roofing to find shelter.
  
• Bats – Quiet and elusive, bats roost in attics and leave behind guano, which can lead to respiratory illnesses.
  
• Skunks – Known for their odor and digging habits, skunks can damage foundations and carry parasites.
  
• Opossums – Typically found under decks or crawlspaces, they can introduce fleas and ticks.
  
• Armadillos – These diggers can destroy lawns and even cause structural damage to foundations.
  

Each animal presents its own challenges. That’s why Critter Stop tailors our wildlife removal strategies to the specific species and situation.

Why Wildlife Infestations Are More Than a Nuisance

Ignoring a wildlife issue in your home or yard can lead to serious consequences:

• Property Destruction – Animals chew wires, shred insulation, rip vents, and damage siding.
  
• Health Risks – Wildlife can spread diseases like rabies, leptospirosis, and salmonella. Their droppings can also foster dangerous mold and fungi.
  
• Odor Issues – The scent of feces, urine, or dead animals can permeate your entire home.
  
• Parasites and Pests – Wildlife often brings fleas, mites, ticks, or lice into your living space.
  
• Fire Hazards – Rodents chewing on electrical wiring increase the risk of fires.
  

Professional wildlife removal not only solves the immediate problem but helps prevent bigger, more expensive ones later.

Our Proven 5-Step Georgetown Wildlife Removal Process

Critter Stop uses a proven, humane approach to wildlife control that ensures your home is safe, clean, and secure long after the animals are gone.

1. Complete Home and Property Inspection
Our team thoroughly inspects your attic, crawlspaces, vents, roof, and yard to determine what kind of animal is present, how it got in, and the extent of the damage.

2. Customized Wildlife Removal Plan
Every situation is different. We create a specific plan for your home that uses safe traps, exclusion devices, or hand-removal techniques in compliance with Texas laws.

3. Humane Capture and Relocation
Once captured, we relocate the animal to a safe area far from residential communities. We follow all local regulations to ensure ethical treatment of wildlife.

4. Cleanup, Sanitation, and Odor Control
After the removal, we sanitize all affected areas. This includes cleaning up feces, urine, nesting materials, and deodorizing spaces to restore air quality.

5. Entry Point Sealing and Long-Term Prevention
To prevent recurrence, we seal all possible entry points with heavy-duty materials. We also advise on landscape changes and other steps you can take to keep animals away.

• Secure Food and Trash – Store garbage in animal-proof containers and bring pet food indoors at night.
  
• Trim Trees and Bushes – Cut back limbs that hang near your roof to reduce roof access.
  
• Remove Yard Debris – Don’t let brush piles, wood stacks, or clutter become shelter for wildlife.
  
• Install Vent Screens and Chimney Caps – These features keep animals from slipping into your home unnoticed.
