Unexpected visitors quietly materialize in Allen. Homeowners contact us when there is scratching noise above their ceiling at 2 a.m., or when a musty smell wafts down the hallway following a storm. At Critter Stop, we offer Allen wildlife removal services that get to the root of the problem. We live and work in Collin County and know local rooflines and drainage patterns and how hot Texas weather causes animals to retreat to attics for shelter.

A recent example is a family in the Watters Creek area. This family had constant attic noise and skyrocketing utility costs. Our evaluation revealed a raccoon entry point around a loose soffit and contaminated insulation with scat. We evicted the raccoon and her young, sealed all entry points, cleaned out the attic, and replaced the insulation. This family had a quiet night and improved air quality within a few days. This is what experienced and honest wildlife removal in Allen can do.

What Kind of Challenges are Created by Wildlife and Pests in Allen?

There are many challenges. With a warm climate, greenbelts, and fast development, nuisance wildlife has ideal conditions in Allen. Animals are driven out by new construction, and then attics are used for nesting. Standing water promotes breeding of mosquitoes. When these conditions are not addressed, danger levels increase.

The signs you cannot ignore in infestation

• Scratching, thumping, chirping in attics or walls, especially at night.
  
• Grease stains, torn vents, or raised shingles around edges and soffits.
  
• Droppings, urine smell, or stained insulation in the attic.
  
• Gnawed wiring, chewed ductwork, or light visible through holes.
  
• Mosquitoes gather around patios after rain, or bite people during brief excursions outside.
  

Health risks and property risks

• Respiratory diseases from rodent and raccoon droppings, such as histoplasmosis and leptospirosis.
  
• Fire risks from chewed electrical wires by squirrels and rats.
  
• Structural damage caused by the tearing of fascia and roof decking by raccoons and opossums.
  
• Disease transmission by mosquitoes, West Nile virus.
  
• Decreased indoor air quality from contaminated insulation and nesting debris.
  

Experience in the industry proves that it is less expensive in the long run to act early before costly repairs are required. In Plano Parkway, a homeowner delayed fixing the problem after hearing rodents in the walls for several months before calling for assistance. The rodents had chewed through electrical wires, causing a short in a circuit with insulation soaked with urine. The home passed a safety inspection after removal, exclusion, and insulation replacement; it is also using energy consumption at a rate of 18 percent less than before.

Common Wildlife found during Allen Wildlife Removal

The most common types of Allen wildlife removal include raccoons, squirrels, rats, mice, skunks, opossums, armadillos, and birds in the chimney. Mosquito pressure is also high around creeks and ponds. Termites and roaches can also be found, but attic animals present the most danger.

We operate under Texas regulations and humane principles. Each project begins with a complete inspection, photographic documentation, and written plan. Exclusion is coupled with removal to prevent re-entry. Sanitation and insulation services will put your attic back into healthy function. Mosquito control lessens breeding habitats and implements specific treatments to keep your family and pets safe.

Common Wildlife Issues in Allen Homes

Attic intrusions are the main cause for service calls. Raccoons tear open the edges of the roof. Squirrels damage vent screens and build nests. Rats and mice follow plumbing chases and make their homes in wall spaces. Gardens are damaged by armadillos and skunks looking for grubs. Chimney swifts clog chimneys, posing a potential fire hazard.

The tools our technicians have are thermal cameras to detect where the nests are located, moisture meters to find where the breeding is taking place, and materials to seal out the wildlife that are heat-rated in Texas. This is important. When there was a heat wave in the area around Twin Creeks this summer, we were able to find a squirrel nest through thermal scanning located behind an HVAC plenum.

One homeowner in the area of Allen Station wrote this after we solved their issues with a skunk in their yard under the deck and a mosquito infestation in their yard:

“They explained what could happen, pointed out where they were getting in, and got it right the first time. The kids can go out in the yard again.”
