Lake Jackson, TX Bat Removal
from The Critter Squad Inc. Podcast · host Jimmy, James, and Johnny
The Critter Squad Inc. performs Lake Jackson, TX Bat Removal for residential and commercial properties throughout Brazoria County. When bats colonize an attic or settle into a wall void, the property owner needs a licensed wildlife removal company that understands bat behavior, follows Texas wildlife regulations, and uses exclusion methods that resolve the problem permanently. The Critter Squad Inc., founded in 2014 and owned by Zach and Taylor Hohman, operates from 164 Oak Dr in Lake Jackson and brings more than 15 years of field experience to bat work in the area. Mexican free-tailed bats and evening bats are the most common colonizing species in the Lake Jackson area, and both squeeze through small gaps in building construction to get inside. A Mexican free-tailed bat can fit through an opening as narrow as three-eighths of an inch, and the typical entry points along Brazoria County rooflines include ridge cap gaps, soffit returns, gable vent edges, and seams where different building materials meet. Once inside, a colony deposits guano that builds up quickly in attic insulation and wall cavities. Bat guano harbors Histoplasma capsulatum, a fungus that causes the respiratory infection histoplasmosis, which the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention identifies as a genuine health risk in enclosed spaces with heavy guano accumulation. The ammonia odor from a mature colony can work its way into living areas, and bat bugs, an ectoparasite closely related to bed bugs, sometimes migrate into the home once a colony grows large enough. Brazoria County's subtropical climate and proximity to the Gulf Coast support year-round bat activity, though colony sizes peak during warmer months. Texas law prohibits killing bats, and Bat Conservation International recommends against exclusion work during the maternity season from May 1 through August 15, when flightless pups are present in the roost. The Critter Squad Inc. begins every bat job with a full property inspection to locate active entry points, identify the species, and assess the extent of guano contamination. The company installs one-way exclusion valves at each confirmed entry, allowing bats to leave at dusk and preventing them from getting back in. These exclusion devices follow methods approved by Bat Conservation International, and the work is scheduled outside the maternity season to avoid trapping flightless young inside the structure. Once the colony has fully vacated, the company seals every gap, crack, and construction seam to prevent future colonies from moving in. Guano removal and full attic decontamination follow, restoring the space and eliminating the health hazard. The Critter Squad Inc. is fully licensed and insured in Texas for nuisance wildlife control, holds membership in the National Wildlife Control Operators Association, and is military veteran-owned and operated. The Lake Jackson location carries a 5.0-star Google rating across 6 reviews, and the company holds a combined 4.7-star rating across 58 reviews at all three locations. Property owners in Lake Jackson and surrounding Brazoria County communities can reach The Critter Squad Inc. at (979) 300-5311. The company answers calls 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and typically schedules same-day or next-day appointments. All bat exclusion and sealing work is backed by a 100% written guarantee. If bats reenter through a previously sealed area, the company returns at no additional charge. The first step is a phone call for a free price quote, followed by an on-site inspection that lays out the full scope of the bat problem and the plan to resolve it.
