Attic Wildlife Removal for Universal City, TX Homes Near Randolph

Much of Universal City was built during its fast growth beside Randolph in the 1960s and 1970s, and decades of Texas weather have loosened a lot of soffits, vents, and roof seams since then. Raccoons and squirrels find those gaps quickly, especially near the Cibolo Creek preserve. We locate the entry, remove the animal, and explain what we found.

AN ESTABLISHED CITY

Older Rooflines on One Side, a Creek Preserve on the Other

Universal City was laid out alongside Randolph Field and grew quickly as the base expanded, so many neighborhoods share the same era of construction and the same aging rooflines. Along the city's edge, wooded trails follow Cibolo Creek between Universal City Park and Veterans Park, giving raccoons and opossums daytime cover a short trip from those homes. Many houses here are rentals or change hands with military moves, so early signs like a stained soffit or a nightly scratching sound can go unnoticed between owners until the damage is obvious.

WHAT WE REMOVE

Animals We Find in Established Universal City Homes

Older homes give wildlife more ways in than newer ones, and the animal involved usually shows itself through the kind of damage it leaves.

RACCOONS THROUGH AGING SOFFITS AND VENTS

Raccoons pull at soft or loose material until it gives. Heavy movement overhead at night, torn vent screens, and sagging soffit panels are common signs on older roofs.

OPOSSUMS UNDER SHEDS AND RAISED ADDITIONS

Sheds, raised additions, and older decks leave sheltered space that opossums settle into, often near pet food or trash. An animal that keeps vanishing under the same structure is the clue.

ROOFLINE

WALKING THE ROOF FOR WEAK SEAMS AND OLD REPAIRS

We check soffits, fascia, vents, and the places where additions meet the original roof, where most gaps on older homes start.

TIMING

CHECKING FOR YOUNG BEFORE ANY OPENING IS CLOSED

Raccoons and squirrels often raise young in attics. We confirm the space is empty so nothing is sealed inside.

REPORTING

For rentals and homes in transition, we explain where the animal got in and what was done so the owner can decide on repairs.

WHY TXWML

Catching It Before the Next Owner Inherits It

A raccoon in the attic does more damage the longer it stays, and in a home that is changing hands, nobody may be around to hear it. Calling at the first sign, or having a house checked at move-in or move-out, keeps a small repair from becoming a large one.

​

Kevin Luce owns the company and handles the work himself, drawing on more than 30 years of trapping Texas wildlife. Whether you live in the home or manage it from across the country, you get a direct answer from the person who was on the roof.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Universal City Homeowner and Landlord Questions

REQUEST UNIVERSAL CITY WILDLIFE REMOVAL
  • Daytime scratching usually means squirrels, and heavier noise at night usually means a raccoon. Either way, an older roof likely has an opening worth finding.

  • Generally, yes. Weathered soffits, vents, and seams where additions meet the original roof give animals more places to pull or chew their way in.

  • Yes. We arrange access with the owner, property manager, or tenant and report back on what we found and what was done.

  • The creek's wooded corridor gives raccoons and opossums cover close to homes, so nearby properties tend to see more visits.

  • Not yet. Young may be inside. Leave it open until we confirm the space is empty.

  • In Universal City it is often an opossum, sometimes a skunk. Odor points toward a skunk, while disturbed pet food and trash point toward an opossum.

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

  • When you hear the activity, where in the house, any damage you have seen, and whether you own, rent, or manage the home.
