As the third-largest inland area in the nation, it’s no wonder Oklahoma City has so much wildlife. We have beloved animals, like the Bison, the scissor-tailed flycatcher, European honeybee, and the North American bullfrog. We also have
wildlife considered nuisances. They may look cute but can damage your home and property. The most common around Oklahoma City include squirrels, rodents, bats, raccoons, opossums, skunks, and snakes.
The Oklahoma Department of Wildlife has established rules on how to capture and remove nuisance wildlife. Because you, the property owner, are solely responsible for solving your nuisance wildlife problem, you may want to call Critter Control.
In Oklahoma, we have gray, fox, ground, and flying squirrels active in every season. They love to scurry along power lines and the roof of your home, then scavenge on the ground. Squirrels constantly collect items to build nests, usually in your attic or under eaves.
Squirrels chew on power lines, wires, walls, and insulation. They dig holes in your yard and damage everything from roof shingles to garden crops. To get rid of squirrels, it may be best to call professionals who have the permits and equipment.

Big and little brown, Mexican free-tailed, evening, and silver-haired bats hang out in attics throughout Oklahoma City. If
bats make your home their home, you are at risk of exposure to their toxic bat droppings, which become a breeding ground for fungus that can harm humans. It’s important to call professionals to assist with your removal and cleanup.
When you see their cute faces with natural masks, you don’t think about your attic walls stained with feces and urine or the torn vents and gnawed beams. But you should. Raccoons can do a lot of damage with their strong hands and feet, claws, and lack of care for your property.
Raccoons carry diseases that are present in their feces. They use any materials they find to build nests, including your drywall, insulation, or treasured family photos left out in the open in the attic.

Where there is one, there are more. Whether you see the local Norway rat, roof rat, or the house mouse, call us. Many homeowners try to DIY rodent removal but calling the experts is still a good idea because rats and mice multiply at high rates and can fit through holes the size of a pen. Plus, rodent removal can be gross. We have protective gear to keep everyone safe.
