What wildlife removal covers in McKinney
Wildlife removal is the humane inspection, trapping, and removal of nuisance animals, such as squirrels, raccoons, snakes, opossums, skunks, armadillos, birds, and bats, from the attic, roofline, walls, chimney, crawl space, deck, and yard of a home. Once the animal is out, the entry point it used gets sealed so the next one cannot follow it in. For rats and mice, see our rodent control service.
Which Pest Me Off service do you need?
Three jobs, three pages, so you land in the right place. Here is the quick split.
Larger animals in or on the house: squirrels, raccoons, snakes, opossums, skunks, armadillos, birds, and bats. We trap and remove, then seal the way in.

Seal it for goodWildlife we remove from McKinney attics and homes
One call covers all of these. Tap your animal to see the signs and how we handle it.
Daytime scratching and rolling overhead, chewed wires, nesting in the insulation. They climb in through roofline gaps, gable vents, and fascia edges.
Heavy thumping after dark, a musky smell, torn soffits or shingles. Often a mother denning with young in the attic or chimney.
Found in the garage, under the AC unit, in the yard, or coiled in a flower bed. Collin County has both harmless and venomous species.
Slow shuffling at night under the deck, in the crawl space, or in the garage. Leaves scattered droppings and a sour smell.
Denning under a deck, porch, shed, or AC unit, with the smell as the warning. They spray when startled.
Cone-shaped holes dug across the lawn and beds, burrows along the foundation. Active at night, rooting for grubs.
Surface runways and shallow tunnels across the lawn, gnawed plant stems and bark, golf-ball-size holes in the yard. A grass-eating rodent, not a mouse in the house.
Chirping and fluttering in a vent, soffit, or chimney, nesting material poking out, droppings below the opening.
Squeaking at dusk, dark staining and droppings under a roofline gap, a colony in the attic. Bats are protected in Texas.
What animal is in my attic?
The fastest way to tell what you have is the noise, when you hear it, and where it is getting in.
| Animal | Sound or sign | When it is active | How it gets in | What you find | Why act fast |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Squirrel | Fast scratching, rolling | Dawn and daytime | Roofline, gable vents, fascia | Chewed wood and wires, nesting | Gnawed wiring is a fire risk |
| Raccoon | Heavy thumping, chittering | After dark | Roof returns, vents, weak shingles | Torn soffit, large droppings, odor | Mother with young, real damage |
| Bats | Squeaking, light fluttering | Dusk | Roofline gaps, gable vents | Dark staining, droppings below | Protected, droppings pile up |
| Birds | Chirping, flapping | Daytime | Vents, soffits, chimney | Nesting material, droppings | Blocked vents, protected nests |
| Opossum | Slow shuffling | Night | Crawl space, low gaps, deck | Sour odor, scattered droppings | Mess and parasites |
| Skunk | Digging, low scratching | Dusk and night | Under deck, shed, AC, porch | Strong spray odor, dug holes | Spray risk to pets and family |
| Snake | Usually silent | Warm days | Garage, gaps at grade, yard | Shed skin, found in cool low spots | Venomous species are in the county |
| Armadillo | Digging, rustling | Night | Burrows at the foundation and beds | Cone-shaped holes, uprooted plants | Lawn and foundation damage |
| Vole | Tunneling, rustling in grass | Day and night | Lawn, garden beds, mulch lines | Surface runways, small holes, gnawed stems | Lawn and garden damage |
Real attic and exclusion work in Collin County

How our humane wildlife removal works
Four steps, every job. We get the animal out the humane way, then we close the way it got in, because removal alone is only half the fix.
We find the animal, the entry points, and any nest or young, from the roofline down to the crawl space.
Live traps or one-way doors sized to the species. We check for a litter so nothing is left behind in the wall.
We clear nesting and droppings from the access area, then flag the damage and the exact way in.
However it got in still has to be closed. We map every opening so the next animal never finds the door.
See our exclusion workBats and birds are protected in Texas
Two of these animals carry legal protection. Handling them the wrong way is illegal, and it is exactly why a certified company matters.
Bats are protected in Texas and cannot be trapped or killed. The only legal fix is a one-way exclusion device that lets the colony leave and not return. It cannot be installed during the maternity season, roughly mid-May through mid-August, when flightless pups are in the roost and would be sealed in. We time the work to the law and exclude humanely.
Most native birds and their active nests are protected under the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act. A few common species, such as European starlings, house sparrows, and feral pigeons, are not. We identify the bird and confirm whether the nest is active before any removal, then screen the vent or soffit so it does not come back.
Protected-species rules per Texas Parks and Wildlife and the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act.
Wildlife removal vs. animal control
A lot of people search animal control first. For a wild animal inside your home, that is the wrong number. Here is the difference.
- Stray and loose dogs and cats
- Bite reports and rabies investigations
- Animals on public property
- Does not pull a raccoon or squirrel out of your attic
- Wild animals in the attic, walls, soffits, chimney, and crawl space
- Snakes, skunks, and armadillos in the garage, deck, and yard
- Trapping, removal, and sealing the way in
- Licensed, NWCOA member, Get Bent Academy certified
If the animal is wild and it is in or on your house, that is us.
Wildlife work is its own trade, and we are trained for it
Pest Me Off is a family-owned, Texas-licensed company that has been getting animals out of McKinney, Plano, Frisco, and Allen homes since 2014. Wildlife is not a spray job. It takes proper trapping, knowledge of which species are protected, and the metal-fabrication skill to seal a roofline so it holds.
That is why our team carries the Get Bent Academy certification in advanced wildlife exclusion and is a member of the National Wildlife Control Operators Association. We remove the animal humanely, then close the home so the problem does not repeat.
The work isn’t done when the animal is gone
Trapping solves today. The hole in the soffit solves nothing. If the way in stays open, the next squirrel, raccoon, or rat finds it within weeks. Every removal we do ends with sealing the entry points for good, using metal and mesh an animal cannot chew through. That permanent seal is our Rodent Proofing and Exclusion work.

Same-day inspections for McKinney and the surrounding cities when you call before noon.
McKinney
Attic wildlifeOlder tree-lined neighborhoods around Stonebridge Ranch and historic downtown give squirrels and raccoons a canopy route straight to the roofline. We handle the attic call and the seal-up.
Allen
Greenbelt edgesHomes backing the greenbelts and creeks see more opossums, skunks, and snakes working the yard and deck line. We trap, remove, and close the low entry points.
Frisco
New-build gapsNewer Frisco rooflines still leave gable vents and fascia gaps a squirrel can open. We get them out and seal the vents with mesh that holds.
Plano
Mature treesPlano’s mature tree cover keeps squirrels and birds close to the roof year-round. We remove the nesting animal and screen the opening it used.
