It does not take long for the wildlife to make its presence known in a house in Bedford, TX. The homeowners begin to hear the sound of scratching in the attic, the pounding in the walls, and the sound of a heavy animal moving across the ceiling at night. What may start as a small nuisance quickly escalates into a big problem for the homeowners. Bedford Wildlife Removal is not just a process of capturing the animal and walking away.
Critter Stop has aided in the prevention of hundreds of homes in Bedford against raccoons, squirrels, skunks, opossums, rats, mice, and bats. Our techs reside in the Mid Cities area, so we understand the architecture, rooflines, and entry points used by the animal to gain entry into homes in Bedford.
Most infestations begin innocuously and progress over time. Early detection will save you money and ensure you do not have costly repairs down the line.
In one Bedford household, the residents contacted us after they could hear “something heavy” moving above their bedroom each night. They thought it was a squirrel. What they had was a mother raccoon and three babies making their home above the master suite. The raccoons had ripped open the roof vent and were using the attic space as a nursery. They were safely removed and the attic sealed to prevent future problems. The household slept through the night for the first time in weeks.
However, wild animals are not just associated with noise. They are associated with health risks and damage to structures, which costs money.
We served a homeowner in Bedford who had periodic respiratory problems. It was determined that the cause of the problem was a bat infestation that had made its home in the attic. Guano had accumulated over the years and was contributing to poor air quality. This changed following bat removal and attic remediation.
Bedford is flanked by wooded greenbelts and residential areas, offering the best possible conditions for wildlife. The most typical types of pests we deal with are raccoons, squirrels, rats, mice, skunks, opossums, and bats. Every type demands a special strategy. Raccoons demand direct removal and quality exclusion repairs. Squirrels demand one-way doors and complete exclusion to prevent re-entry. Bats demand a legal exclusion process that safeguards the colony while keeping your home in accordance with Texas state laws.
Critter Stop has a proven way of solving the situation from start to finish.
Take the Bedford couple who had been using store-bought traps for months and had no success. Rats just kept on coming. After our inspection revealed several points of entry around the roofline and the area behind the chimney, the rats were completely eradicated. Their electricity bills actually went down because of the restored insulation.
If you believe the problem is caused by wildlife, do not attempt to get into the attic or seal the holes. The animals may cause additional damage as they try to get out. Keep pets and children from the area of the problem. Arrange for a professional inspection as soon as you notice the activity.
