Composite roofs are one of the most common fixtures you see in home construction. While the shade and style of your roof can add character to your home’s decor, if there are gaps between the shingles, as there often are, it can create the perfect opportunity for rodents and other wildlife to enter your home. Rodents, bats, snakes, and more can slip through places where shingles have cracked or receded over time.

Finding that a wild animal has caused damage or made a home in your attic or garage can be a nightmare to deal with, so let Critter Ridder help you out. Our animal removal experts will inspect your home’s structure, including the roof, to identify spots where animals could be gaining access to your house. After we’ve determined the point of entry, our animal removal experts and construction crew can humanely remove any critters from your home (including dead animals) and then seal up the entrance. We will work with you to ensure that any materials we use match your roof and the decor of your house. Call Critter Ridder in Austin today for more information!

Metal roofs are a great option for homes, because they can be made from recycled metals and are relatively low cost compared to other materials. They are typically made from stainless steel, copper, tin, or aluminum. Metal roofs are a popular choice for homes in Texas because they are incredibly durable if well maintained, especially in bad weather conditions. These roofs are useful, valuable, and efficient, but they also are susceptible to rust. Rust corrodes metal and can cause holes and other damage to your roof, giving easy access to rats, insects, bats, and other wildlife. Call Critter Ridder in Austin today for assistance!

Pier and beam is a type of foundation in which there is a space between the house and the footings, which is then filled in with concrete for support. A network of beams and piers run evenly beneath the house to provide a balanced support system. This leaves a space underneath the house, which is known as a crawl space, unlike slab-on-grade foundations which leaves no space between the ground and the building. Crawl spaces can be conveniently used for storage as well as a way to easily access your plumbing and heating amenities. This pier and beam style of foundation is highly recommended by construction workers because it is quick, easy, and affordable to repair. It’s also very durable and holds up well over the years.

Although a pier and beam foundation is the best choice for construction, the crawl space unfortunately provides another pathway for rodents and other wild animals to enter your home. These animals can build nests in your crawlspace or cause damage to your belongings and piping. You could even be left with a dead animal under your house, which is unpleasant for everyone in your home. Call Critter Ridder in Austin today for expert animal removal services and exclusions!

Decks and sheds are fundamental pieces of most homes in Texas. With so many Texans who enjoy spending time outside or working in the yard, sheds are an ideal place to store garden tools, patio furniture, or other amenities that can’t be kept in the house. While sheds are a necessity for most homeowners, their biggest drawback is that rodents, raccoons, bats, and other wildlife often build their own homes in these structures since they are quiet and easy to access.

Not everybody considers how easy it is for animals to gain access to their sheds and roam freely. While some people don’t mind critters getting into their sheds, once wildlife begins to live there, it can become a nuisance to worry about what (or who) you’ll find every time you open the shed door. The animals may begin to occupy the yard, and eventually find a way into your home as well if not properly removed from the property. Call Critter Ridder in Austin today to learn more!

Likewise, raised decks are a common place for wild animals to nest or seek shelter. If there are any gaps in the foundation or crosshatching, rodents, raccoons, opossums, and even feral cats can squeeze through and get trapped beneath your deck. This could lead to them damaging your deck or the foundation of your home, as well as possibly dying once trapped and causing unpleasant odors. If you think an animal may be living under your deck or in your shed, call Critter Ridder today for assistance!
