Critter Gitters Pest Control is based in Crockett and has served Houston County since 2006. Licensed Texas pest control operator, TPCL #13381.

Wildlife Problems Are Part of Living in Houston County

Crockett sits on the edge of the Davy Crockett National Forest, and plenty of homes in town and out on the county roads have pasture, creek bottoms or timber right behind the fence. That’s great for the view. It also means raccoons, opossums, squirrels, skunks and armadillos are never far off, and they’re always looking for an easy place to den.

Our office is right here in Crockett. When you call about scratching in the ceiling or something living under the porch, you’re talking to people who deal with these animals in this county every week.

The Animals We Handle Most in Crockett

  • Raccoons: they tear into attics through soffits and roof returns, especially in late winter when females are looking for a spot to raise young.
  • Squirrels: they chew gable vents and fascia boards on older homes, then nest in the insulation. You’ll hear them early in the morning and around sundown.
  • Opossums and skunks: these move in under pier-and-beam homes, mobile homes, decks and storage buildings. A skunk under the floor makes itself known fast.
  • Armadillos: they dig up yards and flower beds overnight and sometimes burrow along slab edges and under sidewalks.

Snakes are a different job. If that’s what you’re dealing with, see our page on copperhead snake removal in East Texas.

Removal Is Only Half the Job

Getting the animal out doesn’t fix anything if the hole is still there. The next raccoon will find the same opening. Every wildlife job we do in Crockett includes three steps:

  1. Inspection: we find how the animal is getting in, check for young, and look for damage to wiring, ductwork and insulation.
  2. Removal: we use methods that fit the animal and the situation, and we follow Texas wildlife rules.
  3. Exclusion: we seal entry points with materials the animal can’t chew or pull apart, and point out any repairs you’ll want to plan for.

You can read more about how we approach it on our main wildlife removal and exclusion page.

Signs You’ve Got Wildlife, Not Mice

Heavy thumping or walking sounds, torn soffit screens, droppings bigger than a pea, a strong ammonia or musky smell, or a dent in the insulation all point to something bigger than a mouse. If it’s small droppings and light scratching, start with our rodent control in Crockett page, or check our guide to noises in your attic and walls.

FAQ’s

Common Questions from Our Customers

Pest control technician inspecting property
What's that noise in my attic in Crockett?
Quick, light scratching at night is usually mice or rats. Heavier walking or thumping, especially at dawn and dusk, is more often squirrels or raccoons. Our inspection tells you for sure before anything gets treated or trapped.
Texas has rules about trapping and moving wildlife, and some animals, like skunks and raccoons, can carry rabies. It’s safer to have a pro handle removal, and it doesn’t fix the entry point anyway. That’s the part that keeps them from coming back.
We seal the entry points as part of the job so animals can’t get back in. If there’s bigger damage, like chewed wiring or soaked insulation, we’ll show you what we found so you can plan the repair.
Armadillos dig for grubs and insects, so a yard full of food draws them in. Removal plus cutting back the insects in the soil works better than either one alone. Fencing that’s buried below ground level helps around beds and foundations.
