Common Wildlife Threats in Midlothian

North Texas is home to a variety of wildlife that can thrive in suburban environments. While many animals are harmless, a few species can cause significant property damage and pose health risks when they move into your home.

• Raccoons: Highly intelligent and strong, raccoons can tear open vents and soffits to access attics. They destroy insulation for nesting, and their droppings (latrines) can carry dangerous parasites.
• Squirrels: These rodents are notorious for chewing. They often enter homes through small gaps near the roofline and can gnaw on electrical wiring, creating a major fire hazard.
• Opossums: Opossums are opportunistic and often seek shelter under decks, porches, or in crawl spaces. They can carry fleas and create foul odors and unsanitary conditions.
• Skunks: Known for their powerful odor, skunks are diggers that often burrow under foundations or sheds. They become a serious problem if they spray near an HVAC unit or a pet.
• Armadillos: While not a threat indoors, armadillos can destroy a lawn or flower bed in a single night as they dig extensively for grubs and insects.

Identifying the correct animal is the first step to a long-term solution. Each of these animals requires a different removal strategy and, most importantly, a plan to keep them from returning.
