Services
Animal Removal
Our certified technicians humanely remove nuisance wildlife including raccoons, bats, and rodents using specialized trapping and exclusion techniques. We prioritize family unit removal to prevent orphaned animals while sealing entry points to prevent recurrence. All procedures follow strict safety protocols to protect residents, pets, and wildlife.
Exclusion Services
We implement permanent exclusion solutions by sealing entry points in roofs, vents, and foundations using durable materials. Our process includes identifying weak points in barrel tile, composite, and metal roofs then installing protective barriers that withstand Texas weather conditions and prevent future infestations.
Attic Cleaning
Professional attic restoration includes HEPA vacuuming, disinfecting contaminated areas, and replacing damaged insulation. We eliminate hazardous pathogens from animal droppings that can carry diseases like hantavirus and leptospirosis while restoring attic spaces to meet health and safety standards.
Insulation Replacement
We install high-performance insulation that improves HVAC efficiency by sealing air leaks. Our restoration process addresses damage from animal activity while enhancing thermal regulation, reducing energy costs, and maintaining proper attic ventilation according to Texas building codes.
Dead Animal Removal
Our technicians locate and remove decomposing animals from hard-to-reach spaces using specialized detection equipment. We perform complete decontamination of affected areas to eliminate odor-causing bacteria and prevent disease transmission through professional-grade sanitization and odor neutralization processes.
