Raccoon Control in Wichita Falls

Licensed Removal, Exclusion & Prevention for North Texas Homes

Thumping in the attic at night or overturned trash cans in the morning usually point to one culprit: raccoons. These animals aren’t just a nuisance. They cause real structural damage, carry diseases that put your family and pets at risk, and won’t stop once they’ve found a way in. At Shoop's Texas Termite & Pest Control, we provide raccoon control in Wichita Falls for both residential and commercial properties, with free estimates and same-day and emergency services available.

Our Raccoon Control Process

1. We start with a thorough property inspection. Every home is different, so our first job is to find exactly how raccoons are getting inside and where they’ve settled in. We pinpoint all entry points and assess any damage they’ve caused.
2. Once we understand the problem, we remove the animal. We use careful, humane trapping methods that address the problem without causing unnecessary harm. Our team knows how to handle wildlife correctly and safely.
3. Removal is only half the job. We close up the gaps and holes the raccoons used to enter, creating a barrier against future intrusion. You get a more complete approach.

Health Risks, Texas Law, & What Wichita Falls Homeowners Should Know

Raccoons are among the top rabies carriers in the region, and their feces can harbor raccoon roundworm, a parasite that poses a direct health risk to humans and pets. You should never attempt to handle or corner one yourself. It’s also worth knowing that Wichita Falls Animal Services doesn’t respond to raccoons inside homes. When a raccoon has gotten into your attic, crawlspace, or chimney, a licensed pest control company is the call to make.

State law adds another layer of complexity. Transporting a live raccoon in Texas without Texas Parks and Wildlife Department authorization is a Class C misdemeanor. Our team works within TPWD guidelines on every job, so you don’t have to worry about improper handling.

Prevention matters too. Securing trash bins with locking lids, bringing pet food indoors at night, and keeping attic vents and chimney openings sealed are effective steps you can take to reduce raccoon activity. We’ll walk you through what applies to your specific situation after the inspection.

Cost, Safety, & What to Do About Raccoons

What should I do if I see a raccoon? Keep your distance and don’t approach or feed the animal. A raccoon that feels cornered can become aggressive. Secure your pets, observe from a safe distance, and call a professional who can handle the situation safely.

What does raccoon control cost in Wichita Falls? Every situation is different. The final cost depends on where the raccoons are located, how many there are, and what exclusion or repair work is needed. We provide clear, upfront pricing after the initial inspection. No guesswork.

Can I handle this myself? DIY removal might seem like a cost-saver, but it’s often unsafe and rarely addresses how the animals got in. Our service covers the full picture: humane removal, entry-point sealing, and a more complete solution.
