Great service and always diligent and willing to meet our needs with each visit. Eric has been great both of the visits he has serviced the house recently. It’s also greatly appreciated that they come do the in-between services since it has been so rainy this last year. Would definitely recommend this company.

Rodent and wildlife control is essential for maintaining a safe and healthy home in Austin, TX. With its vibrant neighborhoods, greenbelts, and natural landscapes, Austin offers the perfect environment for pests like rats, mice, squirrels, raccoons, and possums to thrive. Whether you’re in the tree-lined streets of Tarrytown, the scenic hills of West Lake Hills, the family-friendly community of Circle C Ranch, or the luxurious estates of Barton Creek, these pests can find their way into your property, causing damage and potential health risks.
Austin’s warm climate and proximity to greenbelts make it a hotspot for rodent activity. Rats and mice are notorious for invading homes, chewing through insulation, wires, and walls, and leaving behind droppings that can carry diseases. Squirrels are another common nuisance, often making their way into attics where they build nests and create chaos. For homeowners in areas like West Lake Hills and Barton Creek, where large properties and mature trees provide ample shelter for wildlife, these infestations can become particularly challenging.
Wildlife such as raccoons and possums are also frequent intruders in Travis County homes. These animals can damage your property, rummage through garbage, and even carry parasites or rabies. The Bug Master offers expert wildlife removal services, ensuring these animals are safely and humanely relocated while preventing their return. Our Rodent Pros specialize in rat, mice, and wildlife exclusion techniques, sealing potential entry points to keep your home pest-free for the long term. For residents in neighborhoods like Circle C Ranch or Tarrytown, our tailored solutions ensure the integrity and safety of your home.
At The Bug Master, we pride ourselves on understanding the unique pest control needs of our diverse neighborhoods. With over 40 years of local experience, we know how to address the challenges posed by rodents and wildlife in this area. Our services include thorough inspections, trapping, exclusion, and prevention strategies designed to protect your home and family.
Don’t let rodents or wildlife disrupt your lifestyle. Whether you’re dealing with scratching noises in your attic, chewed wires, or the sight of a raccoon on your roof, we’re here to help. Contact The Bug Master today for a free inspection and let us provide you with peace of mind, knowing your property is protected from these unwelcome invaders.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common signs include scratching noises in walls or attics, droppings, chewed wires or insulation, visible entry holes, and unusual odors.
Click here to see actual rodent signs.
If you notice these signs, contact us for a thorough inspection.
Rodent exclusion involves sealing entry points around your home to prevent rodents from entering. This includes repairing gaps, installing barriers, and reinforcing weak areas. Our Rodent Pros thoroughly inspect your property to identify and secure all potential access points.
If you notice any of these typical rodent (rats and mice) and wildlife signs, it’s essential to act quickly. Rodent infestations can escalate rapidly, causing health risks and property damage. The Bug Master can help with thorough inspections and effective rodent control solutions tailored to your needs.
- Droppings: Small, dark, pellet-shaped droppings are a telltale sign of rats or mice. These are often found near food sources, in cupboards, or along baseboards.
- Gnaw Marks: Rodents have sharp teeth and constantly chew to keep them from overgrowing. Look for gnaw marks on wood, wires, food packaging, or furniture.
- Scratching Sounds: Hearing scratching, scurrying, or squeaking noises, especially at night, is a common indicator of rodents in walls, attics, or under floors.
- Nests: Rodents build nests using shredded materials like paper, fabric, or insulation. Nests are often hidden in secluded areas like attics, basements, or behind appliances.
- Tracks, Rub Marks, and Smudges: You may notice greasy smudge marks along walls or floors where rodents travel. They also leave behind footprints or tail marks in dusty areas.
- Strong, Unpleasant Odors: A strong, musky smell, especially in enclosed spaces, could indicate the presence of rodents. This smell often comes from urine or droppings.
- Chewed-Out Holes or Entry Points: Rodents can squeeze through tiny openings. Check for small holes or chewed areas around doors, windows, pipes, and vents.
- Food Damage: Finding gnawed food packaging, spilled food, or holes in stored goods is a common sign of a rodent infestation.
- Pets Acting Strange: Cats or dogs may become fixated on certain areas of your home where they detect rodent activity.
- Dead Rodents: Discovering a dead rodent can indicate a larger infestation nearby, as they typically don’t wander far from their nesting area.

Topper was very friendly, yet professional and worked very quickly. He assessed the situation and made recommendations prior to actually placing any traps to catch the raccoon(s). He was very informative and gave us a follow up date and time. Very pleased with how things went on this visit.

Quick service! I told them I had a mouse in my house and they came the next day to set traps. Once the mouse was caught- the next night! they came right out and got it for me! The technician also checked for other bug/rodent issues while he was there.

Mathias did a good job even though it was raining. Since he has been doing our extermination we have seen less bugs and no any rodents. He is pleasant and easy to communicate with. Great asset to the company.

Mike is always on top of his game. We thoroughly enjoy having him as our technician, and he’s always been very kind and courteous to us, even when our house is a mess lol. I do wish though that the company would give offers or discounts to existing customers using pest control for rodents also.

Daniel Choi
Bug Master was professional, easy to work with. Their scheduling system was simple, via text message with no hassle or difficulty. Once another rodent was discovered after the initial exclusion, Topper scheduled two more visits and re-secured possible entry points quickly. We are happy with their work! Their 1-year renewable warranty also provides us peace of mind for the future in case we have another rodent problem.

Adam helped me with a squirrel extraction from my attic. Super friendly and knowledgeable. Also showed care to try to not make the squirrel suffer and even offered to show up on the weekend if squirrel was trapped.
Sarah Flautt
The gentleman who came out today helped find a dead squirrel in our air vent that the last serviceman was unable to find, so we were able to finally remove it. He also deodorized the vent. Thank you.
Ronald Wile
Disposed of a skunk that was trapped in my back yard. He was very professional and knew exactly how to do the job
Charlotte Dullea
Topper is the best. He is ridding my under house crawlspace of skunks. What a blessing to have this service from such a caring professional.
Alex Nancy Birdsell
After trying two companies who advertised that they do wildlife removal and not eve getting a call back, I hit on Bugmasters for our problem. Squirrels were having a party in our attic. Aaron did the inspection and planning, and sent me his personal contact information before his visit. He arrived on time, made the plan, and Mike and David set traps and excluded the critters. They also found a bug problem in the crawl space, providing photo evidence of it, and we’ll be treating for that too. I’m very pleased with their service.
Laura Akins
Jeremy and Daniel with The Bug Master saved our home! The first meeting with Jeremy was fantastic and he made us feel completely at ease that he and his team would have the situation (raccoons in the attic!) under control in no time. And they did! Daniel came out every few days to set and check traps and finally to close up any exterior entrances so further critters can’t get in. We truly appreciate the safe, humane way the animals were caught and then taken to a wildlife preserve. But most of all, we appreciate the peace and quiet The Bug Master team was able to provide for us once the raccoons were completely removed. Thank you will never be enough!
Cheryl Fox
When you live off a creek, sometimes unwanted guest try to move in & become roommates w/out signing leases or paying rent...and in this kind of economy, no one needs that sort of negativity in their life...especially not that sort of negativity in the attic or walls. Enter BugMasters lovely team of folks (especially Topper) to save the day! Over several visits they found the unwanted roommates, trapped & removed them, & posted an official eviction notice outside (aka they sealed up holes & entry points). When there was an emergency they bent over backwards figuratively, (but they are amazing enough it could be literally too) to get Topper out to help solve the issue ASAP! I cannot say enough good things about them!! Call them if you need help with the pest/rodent eviction process...they are amazing!!!! Total peace of mind with them helping us now. They made us customers for life based on the level of service & care they showed!! Special thanks to Topper who is absolutely top notch!
