Wildlife Removal for New Homes and Subdivisions in Selma, Texas

Selma has grown faster than almost any town around it, and much of that growth went onto land wildlife was already using. Skunks move under new porches, raccoons find open garages and bins, and opossums settle under sheds. We remove them and find the gap or food source that made the house attractive.

When Pasture Becomes a Subdivision, the Animals Don't Leave

Selma began as a stagecoach stop on the old road between San Antonio and Austin and stayed a small ranching community for more than a century. Since 2010 its population has roughly doubled, with new subdivisions spreading across open land and a busy retail and restaurant corridor along I-35. The skunks, raccoons, and opossums that lived on that land now find shelter in porch voids, garages, and sheds, and food in bins and pet bowls. The wooded Cibolo Creek corridor near the Stage Stop park gives them cover to fall back to.

WHAT WE REMOVE

Who Is Moving In Next to You

In newer Selma neighborhoods, most problems start at ground level, where construction left small gaps and new households left easy food.

SKUNKS UNDER NEW PORCHES AND SLABS

Settling soil and open porch framing leave voids skunks like to den in. A strong odor near the front of the house and a worn hole at the porch edge are the usual signs.

RACCOONS AT BINS AND IN OPEN GARAGES

Raccoons learn quickly which garages stay open and which bins are easy to tip. Once a home is on that list, they may start looking for a way into the attic too.

WHY TXWML

Construction Gaps Are Easy to Miss Until Something Moves In

A brand-new home can still have a gap behind porch skirting, around a utility line, or under a slab where soil has settled. Most owners never see these until an animal finds them. We look for them on purpose, so the problem does not come back once the first animal is gone.

​

Kevin Luce owns the company and does the work himself, with more than 30 years of trapping Texas wildlife behind him. You talk to him directly from the first call to the final check.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Questions From Selma Homeowners

REQUEST SELMA WILDLIFE REMOVAL
  • New construction often leaves small voids under porches and slabs, and the skunks that lived on the land before building are still nearby.

  • Yes. Gaps at porch framing, utility entries, and roof edges are common on new homes and easy for raccoons, squirrels, and skunks to use.

  • Usually not. Once it has shelter and food, it has little reason to move.

  • Commercial food waste can support more raccoons and opossums in an area, and homes nearby often see them too.

  • Keep people and pets away, leave a door open so it can leave on its own if possible, and call us if it stays or keeps returning.

  • Contact us with the property details and we will let you know whether we can help.

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

  • What you are seeing or smelling, where around the house, how long it has been going on, and whether pets have had encounters.
