When to Call Animal Control vs. Pest Control
Animal control specialists handle larger animals like raccoons, opossums, bats, skunks, and squirrels. They are trained in humane trapping, relocation, and exclusion techniques. For insects, rodents, or termites, a general pest control company with a P or T license is more appropriate. Many pest control companies also handle nuisance wildlife — the TDA Pest Control (P) category officially covers rats, mice, skunks, raccoons, and opossums.
Texas Animal Control Regulations
TDA does not issue a separate wildlife removal license. Live-trapping nuisance wildlife from homes and businesses has been exempt from TDA licensing since June 2009, while wildlife work involving pesticides falls under the Pest Control (P) category. Texas Parks & Wildlife Department rules still apply to protected species (bats, migratory birds) and relocation. Companies in this directory hold active TDA structural pest control licenses.
Common Animal Control Situations in Texas
Raccoons nesting in attics, opossums under decks, bats in wall voids, squirrels chewing wiring, skunks under foundations, and snake encounters are among the most common reasons Texans call animal control. Quick professional response prevents property damage and health risks.
