Opossum Removal in Alvin, TX
Opossums are a frequent sight in Alvin and across Brazoria County. Thanks to our mild winters, wooded neighborhoods, and growing suburban areas, these nocturnal animals have numerous opportunities to nest near or inside homes. It’s not unusual to find them under decks, in sheds, or even making their way into attics and crawlspaces.
- Where they hide: Under decks, sheds, crawlspaces, or even attics—sneaking through small holes or vents
- Adaptable pace-setters: Expert climbers and swimmers with 10 toes, they venture into yards and structures searching for food and shelter
- Property damage: Can rip insulation, gnaw wiring or ductwork, and contaminate areas with waste
- Health risks: Carry parasites like fleas, ticks, and lice, and can spread diseases such as leptospirosis and salmonella—even though rabies is rare
Opossums may seem harmless, but their presence can lead to costly damage and health concerns. If you're hearing noises at night or spotting signs of wildlife activity, it's time to take action.
Raccoon Removal in Alvin, TX
In Alvin and throughout Brazoria County, raccoons are especially active around wooded neighborhoods and suburban homes. With mild winters and easy access to food, they frequently den in attics, chimneys, and crawlspaces, often forcing their way in by damaging vents or shingles. Here’s why they’re a serious concern:
- Insulation Damage: Tear insulation, chew wood and wiring, and damage structural components.
- Contamination: Leave behind urine and feces that create odors and health hazards.
- Disease Risk: Spread dangerous illnesses like rabies and raccoon roundworm.
- Rabies Carriers: Among the top rabies vectors in Texas, along with bats and skunks.
- Roundworm Threat: Feces may contain roundworm eggs, which can cause serious illness if inhaled or ingested.

- Nesting Behavior: Build nests in attics using insulation and debris, leaving behind droppings and food scraps
- Structural Damage: Gnaw on vents, fascia boards, and roof decking, causing costly repairs

Bat Removal in Alvin, TX
Bats are essential to Texas ecosystems, but when they roost inside homes, they create serious health hazards and structural concerns. In Alvin, it’s not uncommon to find colonies in attics, chimneys, vents, or wall voids, especially during maternity season. Addressing a bat issue requires expert handling and full compliance with Texas wildlife laws.
Common bat-related issues include:
- Guano Buildup: Accumulates in attics and walls, corroding insulation, damaging wood, and releasing strong ammonia vapors
- Rabies Risk: Any bat that enters living spaces poses a potential rabies exposure, even without direct contact
- Parasites: Bat mites, fleas, and other ectoparasites can spread into bedrooms, vents, or HVAC systems
- Structural Damage: Acidic waste and repeated roosting cause long-term harm to insulation, framing, and drywall
Because bats are a protected species in Texas, exclusion must follow strict timing and legal protocols—especially during nesting season. Our team uses thermal imaging, one-way exclusion devices, and wildlife-safe sealing techniques to ensure safe, legal, and effective removal.
If bats have taken over your attic, don’t risk unsafe DIY methods. Contact us for a thorough inspection and expert bat removal backed by full legal compliance.

Squirrels
Squirrels are great to observe in the “wild” but sometimes they create huge problems. Typically, squirrels construct large nests in tops of trees to live and raise young in. Unfortunately, they are very territorial too, this means when the trees are full the houses are the next best thing. Squirrels are destructive to interior areas of attics and wall.

Opossums
Opossums are North America’s only marsupial. Even though their only defense mechanism is to play dead or drool, they are harmless. They rarely get into homes but will be opportunistic to steal some dog or cat food. But if they do present a problem we can safely trap and relocate them.
Raccoons
Raccoons are an opportunistic species that sometimes like to utilize our structures due to the temporary purpose they have, to have babies (kits). Most gravid females seek out a protected void for their kits so they are unable to crawl out, usually down a log void. Since our homes replicate areas like this they take advantage of that. Nature is great but Raccoons are destructive to our structures and are very much a disease carriers. Call for a free quote to help rid your home or business of these nuisance pests.
