"Called in for Possum and skunk hanging out in my backyard. Chris and Adrian came out and setup traps. They were very professional and great at what they do. Caught both culprits. I would recommend Critter Pros if you're dealing with any wildlife type issues."

"They have been doing my pest control for more than 10 years. Hector is great to work with and his follow up is always appreciated. I had a little problem with silverfish and he made it a point to send someone out with some packets to stop that and did not charge me for the follow up service. Highly recommend them!"

"Jacob responded quickly to my request for a quote. He called me and we talked about my termite situation. Based on our conversation he gave me a quote and said he could come out to look at the problem and confirm it if I wanted him to. He came out and looked at the job and confirmed his quote and we made an appointment for him to complete the work. Jacob is very knowledgable and pleasant to deal with and did a great job. I highly recommend South Texas Pest Control."

"First, I was impresssed at the level of professionalism over the phone. I was able to book an appointment within 48 hours of my call. They told me who to expect (a female and her name). She arrived early. She explained everything, they did use some "green materials" because I am pregnant and have a toddler. She even killed a scorpion for me immediately! We had large piles of fire ant hills. Within days of them spraying all the ant hills were empty. We haven't seen anymore scorpions in our home (and were pleased that they didn't charge extra for this as some companies do), and haven't had any problems with the spiders we were seeing in our home."

FAQs for bird and bat pest control service projects in Helotes, TX

Bats slip through gaps as small as 1/4 inch, so your best defense is a thorough seal-up and a few simple habit tweaks. Start by caulking or screening every crack around chimneys, eaves, and vents. Swap dim porch bulbs for brighter LEDs or motion lights (bats dislike the glare), and consider an ultrasonic deterrent if they keep circling. 

Finally, remove easy snacks—cover standing water and skip the nighttime bird-feeder refills. These steps go a long way toward keeping your home bat-free.

Standard homeowners’ insurance rarely pays for bat removal because insurers view it as routine maintenance. You might get partial help for guano cleanup or related repairs, but that varies by policy. Review your insurance policy carefully and contact your provider for a definitive explanation. Securing all entry points remains the homeowner’s responsibility to prevent future incursions.

The sweet spot for bat exclusion is late summer through spring. That window keeps you inside most state rules and protects baby bats that haven’t learned to fly yet. Removal activities are conducted when bats are less active, with some states permitting work from August through May and others ceasing removal in March. Consult a qualified bat removal specialist to confirm the valid timeframe for your area.

Spotting a dead bat can be unsettling, but a calm, careful approach keeps everyone safe. First, call your state wildlife office to report the find and ask about local rules. Snap a quick photo from a distance, then—wearing disposable gloves—place the bat in a sealed plastic bag for disposal as directed. 

Wipe down nearby surfaces with disinfectant, wash your hands thoroughly, and schedule a pest-control pro to make sure no live bats (or harmful guano) remain hidden in the house.
