Attic Animal Services in Texas
A referral line run by Local Core Group; it does no removal work. Prefer to write? Use the request form.
Four animals have a page here: raccoons, squirrels, bats and opossums. Each says what Texas law and the state agencies say about that animal in a house, and how a request is routed. If you only hear a noise, use the attic page.
You know the animal
One page for each animal this site takes requests about.
Raccoon removal
A fur-bearing animal under Texas law, with state rules on taking it and on moving it once caught.
Open the page →
Squirrel removal
Game animals under Texas law. This page is short, because the state pages read say little about one in a building.
Open the page →
Bat removal
What to do when a bat is in a room with people, what state law allows, and when pups are in the roost.
Open the page →Opossum removal
An opossum inside the house or attic. Yards and decks are outside what this page covers.
Open the page →You only hear it
Start here when the animal has not been seen.
Animals in the attic
Which animals Texas sources place in attics, where rats and birds stand, and what to ask about insulation and chimneys.
Open the page →Rats, mice, birds and snakes have no page here. Texas law puts rodent and nuisance-bird work under its structural pest control license, and this site has not arranged for that work. The attic page says where those animals stand.
Describe it by phone
Give the sound, the hour you hear it, the part of the house and your ZIP code. The request is passed to an independent operator where one works at that address; that operator inspects and gives the price.
