Texas has long been the iconic state associated with cowboys and wild-west shoot outs. It is a hot, dry place covered in a variety of brush and spindly trees; though it does have a significant amount of large hardwood trees like oak. Animals in Texas need to be able to survive the heat, and most of them have adapted nicely to that extreme.

The nice thing about Texas is the fact that the state allows homeowners to trap pest animals at any time without a license. Pelts or animals can only be kept, however, if they were taken during the designated trapping season. All other creatures caught must be turned over to the local authorities.
As with most of the states in the country, Texas homeowners find themselves tasked with preventing squirrels, moles, raccoons, skunks, and rats from entering their homes and attached property. Armadillos and snakes are also common problem animals. The hotter and drier the weather in Texas, the more a problem the ant and insect population becomes, driving armadillos into yards to hunt for grubs within lush lawns. Snakes also will be common yard visitors in this state, especially if the yard has a water source like a pond or a pool. All reptiles are drawn to water, and having a pool in a dry place like Texas will mean seeing snakes.

Texas is too large, however, to have the same climate throughout, and the southern part of the state is home to a number of endangered animal species like the ocelot, jaguarondi, brown pelican, whooping crane, and bald eagle. These creatures thrive in the tall grasses of that part of the state and the scrub forests that grow along the Rio Grande River.

Large predators do well in Texas because of the low-growing vegetation. Mountain lions are currently the largest predator in the wild, but coyotes have been known to run in packs across the plains. Not surprisingly, other cat-like predators are also present like the ocelot, jaguarondi, and the bobcat. Out in the open, coyotes have the upper hand, hunting for various lizards and reptiles the sun themselves on rocks. Of the predators, coyotes are often the only species that becomes chronically bothersome to people. For the most part, mountain lions and other cat species are reclusive.

Texas Wildlife Invading Homes: A Growing Concern

Texas's landscape and climate make it an ideal habitat for a wide variety of wildlife. Unfortunately, this can also lead to problems for homeowners as animals seek shelter and food in residential areas.

As the human population continues to expand, encounters with wildlife are becoming increasingly common across the United States. One of the most frustrating and sometimes dangerous issues for homeowners is when animals find their way inside.

One of the most common culprits is the raccoon. These intelligent and adaptable creatures are skilled at finding ways into homes through small openings in roofs, chimneys, or vents. Once inside, they can cause damage to insulation, wiring, and furniture.

The specific types of wildlife that may invade homes vary depending on the region, but some common culprits in Texas include:
  • Opossums: These nocturnal marsupials can squeeze through surprisingly small holes.
  • Squirrels: Both ground squirrels and tree squirrels can cause damage to homes and gardens.
  • Bats: Bats may enter through small gaps in the roof or walls, potentially carrying diseases.
  • Rodents: Rats and mice can squeeze through tiny openings and contaminate food.

To prevent wildlife from entering your home, consider the following:
  • Seal up entry points: Inspect your home for any gaps or cracks in the exterior and seal them with caulk or metal flashing.
  • Install screens: Use screens on windows and vents to deter flying animals.
  • Remove attractants: Keep garbage, pet food, and bird feeders away from your home to avoid attracting wildlife.

If you have a wildlife infestation, it's important to contact a professional wildlife removal service. They have the experience and equipment to safely and humanely remove animals from your home and prevent future infestations.
By taking these steps, you can help protect your home and property from wildlife damage while also ensuring the safety of both humans and animals
