Animal Removal in New Braunfels

Signs of Nuisance Wildlife Around Your Property

Raccoons, squirrels, opossums, skunks, bats, and rodents are among the nuisance wildlife concerns in the New Braunfels area. We specifically identify skunks and squirrels as concerns for area properties, but the animal involved must be identified before we can recommend an appropriate response.

The Guadalupe River, limestone caves, and the city’s historic district create conditions in which wildlife and developed properties exist close together. Animals may enter through damaged vents, open chimneys, gaps around doors or windows, and other vulnerable exterior openings.

Possible signs of wildlife activity include:

• Thumping, scratching, or movement sounds in an attic or wall void.
• Droppings inside, near storage areas, or around the building exterior.
• Unusual odors coming from enclosed or difficult-to-access spaces.
• Visible damage around vents, rooflines, chimneys, doors, or other openings.

A property inspection can distinguish active animal entry from old damage or unrelated building issues. It also identifies which openings need attention.

Wildlife Prevention for Homes & Businesses

Wildlife prevention reduces access, shelter, and available food around a property. These practical measures complement professional animal removal by making the building and its immediate surroundings less accessible.

Our published wildlife-proofing guidance recommends:

• Seal gaps around doors and windows, damaged vents, and chimney openings.
• Cut back tree limbs and vegetation that touch or overhang the structure.
• Store garbage in sealed animal-proof containers and keep them indoors when possible.
• Bring pet food dishes indoors at night.
• Remove debris piles and other potential food sources from the property.

Commercial properties may require a broader review because roofs, loading areas, utility penetrations, and waste-storage locations can create multiple access opportunities. Site conditions determine which preventive measures and entry-point repairs are appropriate.

Raccoon Removal, Property Protection & Aftercare

Our raccoon work includes an inspection, humane trapping, animal removal, and the repair and sealing of entry points. We also provide cleanup guidance so customers understand what aftercare may be needed once the animals are gone.

Raccoon work is backed by a two-year warranty, with priority service available during the warranty period. The warranty applies to the raccoon service scope established for the property.

We don’t directly perform post-removal cleanup and sanitation for raccoon projects. When that work is needed, we can connect customers with trusted partners who provide those services.

What Affects Wildlife Removal Cost?

The cost generally depends on the animal involved, the accessibility of the activity area, and the number of entry points. The extent of sealing or repair work also affects the scope, so we can’t determine an accurate price without evaluating the property.

A property assessment identifies signs of animal activity, likely entry routes, and the work recommended for the structure. Animal control, entry-point sealing, and damage-related repairs are separate parts of a wildlife project, and each can affect the overall cost.

For example, trapping an animal addresses a different part of the concern than sealing several roofline openings. Inspection findings allow us to explain which services apply rather than assume the same approach fits every property.
