Squirrels in the soffit off Westheimer
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.
Most snakes we're called about are non-venomous and eating the rodents around your foundation, which is a clue in itself: a snake in the garage is usually a symptom of a rodent problem nobody has noticed yet. We identify the species first, remove it safely, then fix the two things that brought it in — the food source and the ground-level gap it used.

Calls peak in spring emergence and again in early fall, plus any heavy rain that floods burrows and pushes snakes toward high, dry structures.
Species identification drives everything — the capture method, the urgency, and whether the animal is legally protected in your state.
Hooks, tongs, and containment tubes, handled by technicians trained on venomous species and relocated according to state wildlife rules.
Garage door sweeps, crawlspace vent screens, foundation gaps, and utility penetrations sealed to close ground-level entry.
We address the rodent population and flag the harborage — wood piles, dense ground cover, rock beds — that makes your yard attractive in the first place.

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.
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.
Marcus showed up two hours after I called, showed me exactly where she was getting in above the soffit, set a one-way door and sealed six other gaps I didn't even know existed. No more scratching. Written warranty. Worth every dollar.
Alex crawled the entire soffit line, found three entry points I didn't know about, set a one-way and sealed the rest with heavy mesh. Warranty on the exclusion. Straight shooter.
Cole diagnosed flying squirrels (not roof rats — I would've bought poison and made it worse). Set traps in the right runs, sealed the fascia gap, checked back twice. Very knowledgeable.
Keep people and pets out, keep the snake in view from a safe distance if you can, and don't try to move it with a shovel or broom. Most bites happen during amateur handling. Call us and we'll walk you through it on the phone.
No. Non-venomous snakes are relocated, and even venomous captures are handled and released according to state regulations. Killing the snake also leaves the rodent population that attracted it.
Almost always a ground-level gap: a worn garage door seal, an unscreened crawlspace vent, a plumbing penetration, or a foundation crack. Snakes don't chew — they use what's already open.
We can make your home a hard target and your yard an unattractive one. Sealing, rodent control, and harborage cleanup together drop repeat sightings dramatically.
