Our Wildlife Removal Services in Humble, TX
Humble sits at the edge of Lake Houston and the San Jacinto River watershed, surrounded by heavily wooded neighborhoods built from the 1970s through today. That combination of mature trees, waterways, and mixed-age housing creates year-round wildlife pressure. Bats colonize attics through gaps in fascia boards and ridge vents. Squirrels and raccoons tear into soft roof connections where soffits meet the roofline. Roof rats follow AC lines and plumbing penetrations into wall cavities. Houston’s heat and humidity accelerate every problem – insulation gets contaminated faster, entry points expand as materials swell and shrink, and animals breed in longer seasons than anywhere farther north.
The Critter Team has worked these neighborhoods since 2015. Owner Mike Garrett is a 20-year Army veteran and NWCOA Bat Standards Certified wildlife control operator who has personally completed 60 to 80 bat exclusion projects. Our technicians – Jeff, Julio, Tad, and Chris – handle every job in-house from inspection through exclusion, and every project is backed by a written warranty. We do not subcontract, we do not use poison or kill traps, and we answer the phone 24 hours a day including holidays.
Bat Removal
Bats squeeze through gaps no wider than your finger and colonize an attic in days. We use humane one-way exclusion devices to let the colony leave safely, then seal every entry point so they cannot return.
Squirrel Removal
Flying squirrels enter attics through small gaps in soffits and rooflines, often in colonies of a dozen or more. We trap humanely, remove the colony, and seal every opening to prevent re-entry.
Squirrel Removal
Squirrels chew through soffits, fascia, and roof connections to nest in attics, and their gnawing on electrical wiring creates a real fire risk. We trap humanely, seal every entry point with 23-gauge aluminum fabricated on-site, and repair the damage.
Raccoon Removal
Raccoons tear through weak spots in roofing, mushroom vents, and rotten plywood to get into attics where they contaminate insulation with feces. We trap and remove the animals, clean up the mess, and seal every opening with materials built to last in Houston humidity.
Rodent Control
Roof rats are the most common rodent in the Humble area - they follow AC lines, weep holes, and gaps at the roofline into attics where they chew wiring and contaminate insulation. We trap inside, seal every entry point outside, and sanitize what they leave behind.
Bird Control
Birds nesting in vents, soffits, and wall cavities create fire hazards and drop mites that migrate into living spaces. We install exclusion barriers, spiking, netting, and vent covers to keep birds out permanently.
Snake Removal
A snake inside your home usually means a rodent problem is already there - snakes follow their food source through the same gaps rats use. We remove the snake safely, identify whether it is venomous, and seal the entry points that let both the snake and its prey inside.
Wildlife Exclusion
Wildlife exclusion is the permanent fix - sealing every gap, vent, soffit connection, and roofline opening so animals cannot get back in. We use copper mesh, stainless steel, 23-gauge aluminum, and galvanized covers instead of spray foam or steel wool that fails in Houston heat.

Humble Service Area
The Critter Team’s Humble office at 6942 FM 1960 Rd E sits in the heart of NE Harris County, putting Humble, Atascocita, Kingwood, and surrounding communities within easy reach. The team runs routes seven days a week across Harris County and into Montgomery County, covering residential neighborhoods, commercial properties, and lakefront communities along Lake Houston.
Route scheduling is built around geography, so your technician knows the roads and the wildlife pressures specific to your part of the area rather than driving in cold from across town. That local familiarity means they know which species are most active in each neighborhood and what construction types to watch for during inspections.
