A dead animal inside a Houston wall or attic is almost always one of the species already active locally — rats & roof rats, raccoons, opossums. Rat and roof-rat pressure runs year-round; snake calls spike May–September. We thermal-image the exact location, cut the smallest possible access, remove the carcass, and enzyme-treat the cavity so odor is neutralized at the source.

Same process on every Houston call — no surprises, no upsells mid-job. Every step is performed under a Texas Department of Agriculture WCO license.
Houston dispatch under 2 hours. Technician arrives with a thermal camera to pinpoint the carcass — usually between studs, in insulation, or in a soffit run.
We plan the smallest possible drywall or soffit access before cutting. Where we cut, we patch — no unfinished holes left behind.
Carcass is bagged and removed, the cavity is treated with hospital-grade enzyme, and any contaminated insulation is bagged out. Odor is neutralized at the source, not masked.
If odor lingers after the enzyme cures, we return at no charge to re-treat. Nine times out of ten, one visit is all it takes.
Roof rats are a Houston-specific problem — attic droppings, chewed wiring, and 3am scratching don't fix themselves.
A dead animal in your wall or attic can make a home unlivable. We locate the source, remove the carcass, sanitize the area with hospital-grade enzymes, and neutralize odor at the source — not just mask it.

Luis found the entry point in 15 minutes — a chewed gable vent I'd missed for a year. Exclusion mesh, one-way door, follow-up visit. Straightforward pricing, no upsell.
Called Sunday morning, Derek was here Monday before lunch. Cut a small access hole, removed the animal, sanitized, patched drywall. Whole visit was under two hours. Nothing but professional.
Diego was patient with my questions and pet-safe about every product. Baited out, dusted voids, followed up at two weeks. Clean kitchen for the first time in a year.
Trevor explained the whole maternity-season timeline and didn't try to rush the exclusion. Waited until pups could fly, sealed the ridge cap, guano cleanup was thorough. Have not heard a scratch in the attic since.
Two other companies just kept setting traps. Aaron actually sealed the sill plate and dryer vent — root cause. Traps stayed empty after the third week. Should've called them first.
Ryan didn't just bait. He mapped the burrows, sealed the foundation gaps behind the trash cans, and coordinated with the alderman's rat abatement. Three months clean. Very Chicago-savvy.
