Wildlife Removal & Exclusion
Humane removal of raccoons, squirrels, opossums, and bats — plus exclusion repairs that keep them out.
Understanding Your Wildlife Problem
The scratching in your attic at 2 AM is rarely 'nothing.' Raccoons, squirrels, opossums, and bats treat attics and crawl spaces as ready-made dens — warm, dry, and predator-free. Once inside, they tear ductwork, soak insulation with waste, and gnaw wiring.
GreenShield's wildlife program is humane-first and exclusion-focused: we identify the animal, remove or evict it using one-way doors and live traps in compliance with Texas wildlife regulations, then repair every entry point with animal-proof materials. Bats receive special handling — they're protected, beneficial, and require precisely timed exclusion.
Signs of Infestation
- Heavy thumping or scratching in the attic — at night (raccoons) or dawn/dusk (squirrels)
- Torn soffits, lifted shingles, or a hole at a roofline junction
- Droppings in the attic, staining on ceilings, or a strong ammonia odor
- Insulation compressed into trails and nests
- Guano accumulating below a gable vent or shutter (bats)
The Real Cost of Waiting
What this pest does to your property, health, and peace of mind when treatment is delayed.
Disease & Parasite Exposure
Raccoons carry raccoon roundworm and can carry rabies; bat guano can harbor histoplasmosis; all wildlife imports fleas, ticks, and mites into the structure.
Fire & Water Damage
Gnawed wiring and torn ductwork are standard wildlife damage; entry holes also become water intrusion points every time it rains.
Contaminated Insulation
Wildlife waste saturates attic insulation, cutting its R-value and creating odor that attracts the next animal.
How We Solve It — Step by Step
A proven protocol refined over 17 years and tens of thousands of treatments.
Full Attic & Exterior Inspection
We identify the species, count entry points, and document damage with photos you can use for insurance.
Humane Removal or Eviction
One-way doors let animals exit without re-entry; live trapping is used where required, always checking for dependent young first.
Exclusion Repairs
Entry points are sealed with heavy-gauge screening, flashing, and chew-proof materials — roofline to foundation.
Sanitation & Restoration
Waste removal, disinfection, deodorizing, and insulation remediation options return the attic to a healthy state.
Prevention Tips From Our Technicians
- Trim branches 6–8 feet back from the roofline
- Cap chimneys and screen gable, ridge, and soffit vents
- Secure pet doors at night and never leave pet food outside
- Keep garbage in locking-lid cans stored in the garage until pickup
- Inspect the roofline each season for new gaps, lifted shingles, or torn screens
Why Professional Treatment Wins
Wildlife work is regulated, hazardous, and unforgiving of mistakes: seal a raccoon's kits inside and the mother will tear through your roof to reach them. Professionals time evictions to breeding seasons, comply with Texas Parks & Wildlife rules (especially for bats), and back exclusion repairs with a warranty.
