Schertz, TX Wildlife Removal for Homes Near the Creek and the Oaks

Schertz has held on to wooded creek parks and stands of heritage oaks that most growing suburbs lose. That is good for the neighborhood and good for raccoons and squirrels looking for a way onto your roof. We trace the route from the tree line to the attic, remove the animal, and find the gap it was using.

CLOSE TO HOME

Schertz Kept Its Woods, and the Wildlife Kept Using Them

Crescent Bend Nature Park preserves a wooded stretch of the Cibolo Creek floodplain where raccoons and opossums live alongside herons and deer, a short walk from residential streets. Cut-Off Park and Heritage Oaks Park hold some of the largest oaks in town, and similar old trees stand over many nearby homes, putting squirrels within an easy jump of the roof. Smaller corridors along Dry Comal Creek and Woman Hollering Creek reach into newer parts of the city, giving wildlife more ways to move between cover and backyards.

WHAT WE REMOVE

What Schertz Homeowners Usually Call About

Homes near creek woods and big oaks see two problems more than any other: raccoons coming up from the creek and squirrels coming down from the canopy.

RACCOONS COMING UP FROM THE CREEK

Raccoons rest in creek-side cover by day and work fences, decks, and trash at night. When one finds a loose vent or soffit, thumping in the attic after dark and torn material at the roof edge usually follow.

SQUIRRELS USING OAK LIMBS AS A BRIDGE

A mature oak limb over the roof gives squirrels a direct path to soffits and fascia. Daytime scratching overhead and fresh gnawing at the roof edge are the signs to watch for.

ROUTE

TRACING WHICH LIMB OR FENCE GETS THEM UP

We look for the climbing route first: the limb, fence, or downspout that leads to the opening. Removal and repairs both depend on it.

EQUIPMENT ALONG THE CREEK-SIDE FENCE

Raccoons and opossums coming from the creek tend to follow the same fence lines and tree edges each night. That is where we set up.

TIMING

CONFIRMING THE ATTIC IS EMPTY BEFORE ANYTHING IS SEALED

Raccoons and squirrels raise young in attics. We make sure the space is clear before any opening is closed.

WHY TXWML

A Home Beside a Preserve Needs More Than One Visit

When your backyard borders wooded parkland, there will always be more raccoons and squirrels nearby. Removing the animal in your attic matters, but so does closing the route it used, trimming the limb it crossed, and checking back to make sure nothing new has moved in.

​

Kevin Luce owns the company and handles each job himself, with more than 30 years of trapping Texas wildlife behind him. You get one person who inspects, removes, and follows up, and who will tell you plainly what on your property is inviting the next visitor.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Schertz Wildlife Questions

REQUEST SCHERTZ WILDLIFE REMOVAL
  • The park's creek-side woods give raccoons a safe place to rest close to homes. If your property offers food or a weak spot in the roof, it can become a regular stop.

  • Often only the limbs touching or hanging close over the roof need attention. We point out which ones are part of the route.

  • Squirrels are active in daylight, so morning and daytime noise usually means squirrels. Heavier thumping at night points to a raccoon.

  • Yes. Removal happens at the roofline and on the ground. Any trimming recommendation is limited to the limbs giving animals access.

  • Another raccoon can, which is why closing the opening and removing easy food matter as much as the removal itself.

  • Opossums often use decks and sheds near wooded lots. An animal disappearing under the same spot, or disturbed pet food overnight, are common signs.

  • On acreage and larger properties, yes. That work falls under our Land Management services.

  • What you are hearing or seeing, when it happens, where on the property, and whether trees hang over the roof. Photos of any damage help.
