Animal Removal for New Braunfels, TX Homes From Gruene to Landa Park
Wildlife problems in New Braunfels change from one part of town to the next. A raccoon coming up from the Comal, a skunk under a raised porch near Gruene, and an armadillo working fresh sod in a newer subdivision each need a different plan. We identify the animal, find how it is getting in or what keeps drawing it back, and remove it in a way that fits your property.
YOUR PART OF TOWN
The Animal Often Depends on Which Part of Town You Live In
Around Landa Park and the spring-fed Comal, mature oaks and river cover let raccoons and opossums rest by day and reach backyards within minutes after dark, while big limbs put squirrels a short jump from older roofs. Along the Guadalupe in Gruene and the River Road corridor, raised porches, pier-and-beam floors, and outbuildings give skunks and opossums sheltered space to den. Waterfront lots on Lake Dunlap see raccoons working the shoreline side of the property. In the newer subdivisions on the growing edges of town, irrigated sod draws armadillos, and gaps under new porches and patios draw skunks.
WHAT WE REMOVE
What Each Animal Leaves Behind
The signs usually tell us which animal is involved before we ever see it. Around New Braunfels homes, most calls involve raccoons, squirrels, skunks, opossums, or armadillos, and each one leaves a different kind of damage in a different part of the property.
ROOF AND ATTIC ANIMALS
Heavy thumping above the ceiling at night and torn soffits or vents point to a raccoon, often one reaching the roof from an overhanging limb or porch post. Scratching and running during the day, with fresh chewing at the roof edge, usually means squirrels.
WHY TXWML
You Talk to the Owner, Not a Call Center
When you call, you reach Kevin Luce, who owns the company and does the work himself. He has trapped Texas wildlife for more than 30 years. The person who inspects your roofline or crawl space is the same person who sets up the removal and comes back to check it.
​
Removing one animal does not help much if the next one finds the same open soffit, the same gap under the porch, or the same pet bowl on the patio. Before we finish, we point out what drew the animal to your home and what keeps it attractive, so the problem does not start over with a new visitor.

The setting decides a lot. Homes near the Comal and Guadalupe see more raccoons and opossums coming out of river cover, older homes under big oaks see more squirrels, and newer subdivisions see more armadillos and skunks.
Generally, yes. Water, shade, and continuous tree cover let raccoons travel and rest close to homes. That does not mean every river-adjacent home has a problem, but weak spots in a roofline tend to get found faster.
New, irrigated sod keeps the soil soft and full of grubs and insects. Armadillos dig for that food at night and return to the same spots while it lasts.
Yes. Raised floors, porches, and outbuildings with open space underneath make protected den sites. Odor near one side of the house and a worn opening at the base of a structure are common signs.
Daytime scratching and running usually point to squirrels, which are active in daylight. Heavier noise at night is more typical of raccoons.
No. If an animal or its young are still inside, sealing the opening can trap them or push the mother to chew a new way in. Leave it open and let us confirm what is using it first.
Yes, on acreage and larger properties around town. Those jobs fall under our Land Management services, which cover hog trapping and coyote control.
Kevin Luce, the owner. He answers the phone, inspects the property, and handles the removal himself.
