About Prickly Pear Wildlife
Prickly Pear Wildlife Removal and Home Services is a local, full-service pest control and wildlife exclusion company serving Central Texas. Founded by Dan, a builder and former technical product manager, the company combines professional-grade structural expertise with humane animal handling and integrated pest management.
Unlike standard pest control companies, Prickly Pear handles both wildlife intrusions (raccoons, squirrels, bats, rodents) and insects (ants, termites, mosquitoes) through a single service provider. Their four-step approach includes inspection, humane eviction using one-way doors and exclusion, sealing entry points with construction-grade materials, and ongoing prevention through pest control plans.
The team includes a staff entomologist with a master's degree from UT Austin, highly trained technicians, and access to cutting-edge tools including thermal imaging, 5G cameras, and drones for precise diagnosis and service. All work is backed by their 'fur-ever' warranty on labor and exclusion sealing.
