Why Tyler Homeowners Choose Us
Wildlife Removal Done Right, the First Time
Wildlife doesn't wait for business hours, and neither do we. Whether it's a raccoon that's torn into your attic insulation off Old Jacksonville Highway or a colony of bats roosting above your chimney near Loop 323, our Tyler-based team handles the full job: humane capture, entry-point sealing, sanitation, and repair.
Humane Trapping
Live-capture methods and relocation in line with Texas Parks & Wildlife guidelines.
Permanent Exclusion
We seal entry points so the same animal — or the next one — can't get back in.
Attic Cleanup
Waste removal, sanitation, and insulation replacement after wildlife damage.
Who We Are
A Local Smith County Team, Not a Franchise
We're a Smith County-based wildlife removal team, not a national franchise dispatching whoever's closest. That matters because East Texas wildlife pressure is seasonal, species-specific, and tied to the geography of this exact area — the tree cover along Old Jacksonville Highway and Grande Boulevard pushes raccoon and squirrel activity into attics every spring, while the older housing stock near Loop 323 and South Broadway has roofline gaps that newer Whitehouse and Lindale construction doesn't. We inspect first, explain exactly what's involved, and quote a fixed price before any trap goes down. No guessing, no upsells once we're on site.
- Free inspection before any commitment
- Fixed-price quote, no surprises
- Humane trapping, not poison
- Entry points sealed, not just patched

Three Cases That Show What to Expect
Every wildlife call is a little different. Here are three real scenarios — the situation, what we did, and the outcome.
Case Study 01 · Off Old Jacksonville Highway
Raccoon den in the attic. Litter reunited. Sealed same day.
The situation: A homeowner near Old Jacksonville Highway heard heavy movement in the attic for three nights straight and finally located a torn soffit vent on the north side of the roof. By the time we got the call, droppings had accumulated near the attic access hatch.
What we did: Inspection confirmed a mother raccoon with a litter of three kits nested in blown-in insulation about eight feet from the entry point. We placed a one-way exclusion trap at the soffit gap, waited for the mother to leave to feed at dusk, then hand-captured and reunited the kits in a temporary den box near the original site so the mother could relocate them naturally rather than abandoning them.
The outcome: Full family relocated within 36 hours. Entry point sealed with steel mesh and matching fascia repair the same visit. Contaminated insulation section replaced. Total job time: one inspection visit plus one exclusion visit.
Case Study 02 · Near Grande Boulevard
Chittering in the chimney turned out to be 40+ bats — timed exclusion, no pups lost.
The situation: A homeowner near Grande Boulevard noticed a guano pile at the base of their fireplace insert and audible chittering after dark starting in early May. They'd read online that bats could just be sealed out and almost did it themselves.
What we did: Inspection in early May confirmed an active maternity colony — sealing at that point would have trapped flightless pups inside. We explained the timing risk, scheduled a return visit for late August once pups were flying, and installed a one-way exclusion device that let the colony leave at dusk without re-entering.
The outcome: Zero pups trapped. Colony fully vacated over 9 nights. Chimney cap and flashing gaps sealed permanently, guano removed and area treated. The homeowner's instinct to seal it immediately in May would have caused exactly the problem we're often called in to fix after the fact.
Case Study 03 · South Tyler, near Loop 323
Squirrel damage ignored for a month. Chewed wiring found during exclusion.
The situation: A South Tyler homeowner near Loop 323 heard scratching in a bedroom wall for about a month, assumed it was a one-time visitor, and didn't call until a second squirrel showed up at the same soffit gap.
What we did: Inspection found an active squirrel nest and, during entry-point sealing, chewed insulation on a section of attic wiring conduit — a fire risk that had gone unnoticed. We removed the squirrels, sealed three separate soffit gaps we found along that side of the roof, and flagged the wiring damage for the homeowner's electrician before closing up the attic.
The outcome: Squirrels removed, entry points sealed, wiring damage documented and referred out before it became worse. The homeowner's takeaway: a month of scratching sounds is long enough for real damage to start, even when it doesn't seem urgent.
What Tyler Homeowners Say
Real Reviews — Wildlife Removal Tyler TX
★★★★★
“Heard something moving around in the attic for almost a week and kept telling myself it was probably nothing. Finally called and they found a raccoon had gotten in through a gap near our chimney flashing off Old Jacksonville Highway. Had it trapped and the gap sealed within two days. Didn't expect them to also patch the fascia board that was chewed up — thought that would be a separate cost.”

★★★★★
“We almost sealed up what we thought was just "a bat" ourselves before calling. Good thing we didn't — turned out to be a whole colony, and they explained the pup timing thing which honestly I had no idea was a real issue. Came back in August to finish the job right. Chimney's been quiet since.”

★★★★★
“Found out during the squirrel job that they'd chewed into some wiring in the attic, which honestly scared me more than the squirrels did. They didn't try to upsell me on fixing it themselves — just told me straight to get an electrician out and showed me exactly where it was. Appreciated the honesty.”

Spring Nesting Season — What Tyler Homeowners Should Know
Late February through May is peak wildlife entry season in East Texas. Raccoons and squirrels look for den sites to raise young, and once an animal picks your attic, waiting rarely makes it easier to resolve.
- Listen for timing patterns: Nighttime activity usually means raccoons; daytime scratching is more typical of squirrels. Note when you hear it — it helps us identify the species before we even inspect.
- Don't seal any gap yourself: If you can see an entry point and you're tempted to caulk or board it up, don't — an animal (or litter) can still be inside, and sealing them in creates a much worse problem than the one you're trying to solve.
- Check for a guano pile or droppings: A concentration of droppings below a roofline gap or chimney is a strong sign of an active colony, not a one-off visitor. Photograph it if you can, from a distance.
- Call for a free inspection before it compounds: The earlier we inspect, the more likely it's a simple single-entry-point job. Left through a full nesting cycle, damage to insulation and wiring gets significantly more expensive to fix.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does wildlife removal cost in Tyler TX?
Based on jobs across our Tyler and Smith County service area, the average cost is $385, with a range from $220 for a straightforward single-raccoon trapping job up to $650+ for bat colony exclusion with extensive entry-point sealing. Exact pricing depends on species, number of entry points, and whether attic restoration is needed. Every job gets an exact quote after the free inspection — never a phone estimate.
Do you serve my area?
We cover all of Tyler TX and Smith County, including Whitehouse, Lindale, Flint, and Bullard. If you're just outside these areas, call and we'll confirm availability.
What's the difference between trapping and exclusion?
Trapping removes the animal that's already inside. Exclusion seals the entry points so nothing can get back in. We always recommend both — trapping alone without exclusion just invites the next animal in through the same gap.
Do you offer any kind of guarantee?
Yes — our exclusion work includes a workmanship guarantee on sealed entry points. If the same species re-enters through a point we sealed, we return at no charge.
Is it legal to trap and relocate wildlife in Texas?
Yes, with restrictions. Texas Parks & Wildlife Department regulations require that most trapped nuisance wildlife be released on-site or within the same county unless you hold a Nuisance Wildlife Control Operator (NWCO) permit — our technicians are permitted, which is why DIY trapping and relocating an animal across county lines can actually put a homeowner in violation of state law without realizing it. We handle the legal side so you don't have to think about it.
