Why people call us
It Is Not Just the Animal. It Is Everything That Comes With It.
By the time most people call, the problem is bigger than the raccoon or the rat. It is what living with it has done to the house, and to your peace of mind.
You cannot sleep
The scratching starts right as you are drifting off. Once you know something is living above your bed, the house stops feeling like yours.
Worried about your family
Raccoon droppings, bat waste, and rodent urine carry real disease risk. Nobody wants to guess whether the attic air is safe.
The damage is adding up unseen
Chewed wiring, soaked insulation, torn ductwork, getting worse every night, and you cannot tell how bad it already is.
You already tried to fix it
The steel wool, the peppermint spray, the store bought trap. It worked for a day, then the noise came back.
You are afraid of getting overcharged
You have heard the stories, a quick patch and a big bill. You want a straight answer first.
The smell will not go away
Something died in a wall or under the house, and every day it is harder to ignore. You need it found and gone.
Point Us to the Spot
Most wildlife calls come down to one of these locations. Pick the one that sounds like yours, and we will arrive ready for it.
In the attic
Scratching, running, or thumping overhead, usually worse at night or first thing in the morning.
Inside the walls
Movement behind the drywall, often an animal traveling between the attic and a wall cavity.
Under the house
Digging, droppings, or a smell from the crawl space of an older pier and beam home.
On the roof
A raccoon or squirrel near the chimney or roofline, where they tear open soffits and vents.
Under the deck
An opossum, skunk, or raccoon denning beneath a deck, porch, or shed.
A smell, no source
An odor with no visible cause is usually an animal that died inside a wall, duct, or attic.
What Is Getting Into Dallas Homes
Different animals get in different ways and cause different trouble. Each one below is its own service, so follow the link for the full detail.
Raccoons
In attics, chimneys, and under decks. Strong enough to tear a soffit, and they nest with young in spring.
Squirrels
In the roofline and attic, gnawing wood and wires. A real fire risk, and active in daylight.
Rats & mice
In walls, garages, and kitchens. They breed fast, spread germs, and chew constantly.
Bats
In attics, eaves, and gable vents. Protected by law, so timing rules apply to the work.
Snakes
In yards, garages, and under slabs. Most are harmless, but some Texas species are venomous.
Opossums & skunks
Denning under decks, porches, and sheds. Skunks are best handled before they spray.
Why homeowners choose us
Professional Is Not Enough. Here Is What Sets Our Work Apart.
Anyone can say professional and reliable. What matters is whether the animal stays gone and whether the price was straight. Here is the difference.
How a job runs
From First Call to Closed Entry Point
Good wildlife removal in Dallas is a sequence, not a single visit. Skip a step and the animal comes back.
Inspection & identification
We check the property top to bottom, confirm the animal, find every way in, and spot the damage. Older Dallas homes mean a close look at soffits and the chimney.
Humane removal & trapping
Methods matched to the species, so a squirrel is handled differently than a raccoon with a litter. In spring we protect babies in the attic.
Exclusion & entry point sealing
The step that keeps animals out. We seal every gap with sturdy materials and add one way doors, so animals leave but cannot return.
Cleanup & repairs
We clear droppings and nesting, treat the space, swap ruined insulation, and fix the damage. Clean and sealed, not just quiet.
We Do Not Just Remove the Animal. We Close the Reason It Got In.
Exclusion is the part that makes the fix permanent, and it is where cheap jobs cut corners. Jennie Wildlife Removal find every gap an animal is using or could use, then seal it with materials built to resist chewing and prying. Where an animal is still inside, we fit one way doors so it can leave on its own but never get back in.
Dead Animal Removal & Odor
A sharp, growing smell with no clear source is almost always an animal that died inside a wall, a duct, or the attic. In Dallas heat it moves fast and will not clear on its own. We locate it, remove it, treat the area for odor and bacteria, and clean up what it left behind. If the animal is on public property or the street instead, Dallas Animal Removal Services will usually pick it up. People searching for free animal removal services in Dallas can start with the city and local rehabbers, though neither will seal an attic.
Proofing & Prevention
The best call is the one you never have to make again. After the animal is out and the entry points are sealed, we look at what drew it in and what could let the next one in.

Experience & standards
Certifications & Equipment for Wildlife Removal in Dallas
The guidance here comes from real jobs across North Texas, not a national script. The work is done to recognized industry standards, with the right tools for each animal.
Local knowledge
Why Dallas Homes Get Wildlife
Not every house has the same weak spots. Where you live in the metro changes what gets in and how.
Older, tree shaded streets
The M Streets, Lakewood, and Oak Cliff have mature trees and older rooflines, an easy path onto the roof.
Pier and beam versus slab
Homes with a crawl space give opossums and skunks a dry place to den underneath.
Creek and greenbelt corridors
Property near White Rock Lake and the greenbelts sits on wildlife travel routes.
Newer suburbs
Fresh builds in Frisco, McKinney, and Prosper still have small roofline gaps left during construction.
Season by season
What to Expect Through the Year in Dallas
Wildlife in North Texas runs on a calendar, and knowing it helps you act at the right time.
Spring
Raccoons and squirrels give birth. Removal has to protect the young in the attic.
Summer
Snakes are active, and bat colonies are raising pups, so bat timing rules apply.
Fall
Rodents move indoors for warmth, showing up in walls, kitchens, and garages.
Winter
Animals look for a warm, dry place to den, so anything can seek shelter inside.
Airbnb & STR Host Service
A wildlife problem in a rental is a review problem and a booking problem. We work discreetly and fast, coordinate around guest turnover, and give you photos and a written report for your records, so you can show the issue was handled properly.
Does Insurance Cover Wildlife Damage?
Sometimes the damage, rarely the removal itself. Most policies will not pay to trap the animal, but some cover resulting damage such as chewed wiring or ruined insulation. It depends on your policy, so check with your insurer. We can document the damage with photos and a report for a claim.
FAQ
Common Wildlife Removal Questions
What do I do if I find a dead animal in my backyard?
Keep children and pets away, avoid direct contact, and check local disposal requirements with Dallas Animal Services. If the animal is inside the home, or you suspect contamination, professional removal and cleanup is the safer route, since odor and bacteria spread fast in Texas heat.
Does the city of Dallas pick up dead animals?
Yes, Dallas Animal Services will collect a dead animal from a street or public property, usually within a day or two. They will not come into your attic, walls, or crawl space. If the smell is coming from inside the house, that is a job for a wildlife company, not the city.
Will the animal come back after it is removed?
Not if the entry point is sealed. Removal without exclusion is the main reason animals return, because the gap they used is still open. We find how it got in and close it, and we stand behind the seal on full exclusion work.
Does homeowners insurance cover animal removal?
Sometimes the damage, rarely the removal itself. Most policies will not pay to trap the animal, but some cover resulting damage such as chewed wiring or ruined insulation. It depends on your policy, so check with your insurer. We can document the damage for a claim.
Is the removal actually humane?
Yes. We use species appropriate trapping and one way exclusion doors that let animals leave unharmed, and we follow Texas wildlife rules. When there are babies in an attic, common in spring, we handle them so the mother is not separated from her young.
Are bats legal to remove in Texas?
Bats are protected, and the work has to be timed around the maternity period. Texas Parks and Wildlife advises against excluding bats from buildings from May 1 through August 15, when young bats may be unable to fly. The right approach depends on the species and situation, so professional identification and correct timing matter.
How do I choose a good wildlife company?
Look for one that inspects before quoting, puts the price in writing, seals entry points rather than only trapping, follows Texas law, and carries a license and insurance. Be wary of a firm pest company treating animals as a sideline, or anyone quoting a firm price sight unseen.
How fast can someone come out?
Same-day or next-day visits are often available. Tell us if an animal is inside a living space and we’ll prioritize it.
Is the removal safe for kids and pets?
Yes. We use live traps and one-way exclusion devices and avoid poison, which can leave an animal dead inside a wall and create a bigger problem.
Do you work with landlords and property managers?
Yes, regularly. We coordinate access with tenants, keep the documentation you need for the property file, and handle multiple unit and repeat work. Landlords and realtors on a closing timeline are a big part of who we serve.
Need Wildlife Removed Right Now?
Keep kids and pets away from the animal and don’t try to corner it. Most bites and scratches happen during a rushed DIY attempt. Note where and when you see activity, then call.
