Wildlife Removal in Mustang, Oklahoma
True Care Wildlife provides professional wildlife inspections, humane removal, exclusion, repairs, and wildlife-related cleanup for Mustang homeowners.
We look beyond the animal itself to determine how wildlife is getting into the home, resolve the current problem, and help protect the structure against repeat entry.
Scratching in the attic, mouse droppings, birds around the roofline, damaged vents, or an unexplained opening can all be signs that wildlife has found a way into the home.
Our inspection focuses on identifying the animal, understanding the evidence, and finding the route into the structure.
Firsthand Mustang Experience
We’ve Watched Mustang Grow
Owner Brad McKey has worked around Mustang and the west Oklahoma City metro since beginning his pest-control career at age 20.
Brad’s original service territory was the west district, including Mustang and neighboring Yukon. Over more than a decade working around this part of the metro, he has watched both communities expand as new neighborhoods and homes have continued spreading west.
That firsthand experience gives our team a practical understanding of both established Mustang homes and newer construction, including the types of structural gaps wildlife and rodents can take advantage of.
What We See in the Field
Newer Mustang Homes Can Still Have Wildlife Entry Points
New construction does not automatically mean wildlife-proof construction. One recurring condition we encounter in newer homes around Mustang and the west metro is construction gaps that can provide access for mice, birds, and other wildlife.
A house can be new, clean, and well maintained and still contain a usable opening. Wildlife problems often begin with small gaps where different parts of the structure meet.
Roofline transitions, fascia and soffit connections, exterior penetrations, vents, brick transitions, garages, and foundation areas can all deserve attention during an inspection.
Finding the animal is only part of the job. Understanding how it entered the structure is what allows us to build a more complete solution.

Common Wildlife Problems in Mustang Homes
Scratching or Running in the Attic
The timing, weight, location, and pattern of attic movement can help identify whether squirrels, raccoons, rodents, or another animal may be involved.
Scratching in attics and walls →Mouse or Rat Evidence
Droppings, chewing, nesting material, odors, and movement inside walls or ceilings can indicate rodent activity. Long-term control requires addressing how rodents are entering the home.
Learn about mouse removal →Openings Around the Exterior
Damaged vents, roof openings, fascia gaps, soffit gaps, foundation openings, and construction gaps can all provide access depending on the species.
How animals get into homes →Droppings, Odor, or Damaged Insulation
Wildlife can leave urine, feces, nesting material, odor, debris, and damaged insulation behind after occupying an attic or other part of the home.
Attic cleanup and restoration →Oklahoma Wildlife
Wildlife We Help With in Mustang
Different animals require different removal and exclusion strategies. We use the evidence at the home to identify the problem before recommending a solution.
Mice
Mice can enter through small construction openings around brick, rooflines, garages, utility penetrations, and foundations.
Mouse removal →Rats
Rats may use utility penetrations, foundation openings, damaged materials, and other structural access points and can enlarge weak areas by chewing.
Rat removal →Squirrels
Squirrels commonly use rooflines, roof returns, soffits, fascia, and vents. Daytime running or scurrying overhead is a common clue.
Squirrel removal →Raccoons
Raccoons can enter through damaged soffits, roof openings, vents, and chimneys. Dependent young must be considered before an active entrance is permanently closed.
Raccoon removal →Snakes
Snake activity around a home may be connected to shelter, structural openings, and prey animals such as mice and rats.
Snake removal →Skunks and Other Wildlife
We also help with skunks, opossums, birds, bats, armadillos, and other nuisance wildlife depending on the animal and situation.

The True Care Home Protection Standard™
Our process is designed around understanding the home, solving the current wildlife problem, and helping protect the structure against future entry.
Understand the Home
We inspect accessible areas for animal evidence, entry points, construction vulnerabilities, damage, and contamination. The goal is to understand both what animal is present and how the structure is being used.
Solve Today’s Wildlife Problem
The appropriate method depends on the species and circumstances. Humane removal can include one-way exits, hand removal, monitoring, or trapping when trapping is appropriate.
Help Protect for the Future
After the active issue is resolved, approved exclusion repairs can close the entry route and other supported vulnerabilities. Cleanup, sanitation, deodorization, or attic restoration may also be recommended when conditions warrant it.
Removal Before Repair
Why We Don’t Simply Seal the First Hole We Find
An active wildlife entrance has to be handled in the correct order.
Permanently closing an opening while an animal is still inside can trap wildlife in the structure, separate dependent young from their mother, or cause an animal to search for another route into the home.
We first evaluate the activity, determine the appropriate removal or exit method, confirm that the current problem has been resolved, and then complete the approved permanent repairs.
That sequence is one of the important differences between wildlife exclusion and simply covering a visible hole.
Permanent Solutions
Wildlife Exclusion for Mustang Homes
Wildlife exclusion means correcting the routes animals use to enter a structure. The appropriate repair depends on the species, construction style, active entry point, and conditions found during the inspection.
Depending on the home, exclusion may involve vent protection, roof-return closure, fascia or soffit work, foundation protection, chimney protection, garage sealing, metal reinforcement, or barriers beneath structures.
Learn about wildlife exclusion →Why Ongoing Protection Matters
Oklahoma homes continue to change. Heat, freezing weather, wind, hail, soil movement, remodeling, roof work, aging materials, and work by other contractors can create new vulnerabilities over time.
Qualifying exclusion work includes a written warranty, with renewable lifetime coverage available under the terms of the program.

Mustang Wildlife Removal FAQ
Questions From Mustang Homeowners
Why are newer Mustang homes getting mice or wildlife?
New construction can still contain gaps around rooflines, exterior transitions, vents, utility penetrations, garages, and foundations. We regularly encounter construction gaps in newer homes around the growing west metro.
What animals do you remove in Mustang?
We help Mustang homeowners with mice, rats, squirrels, raccoons, snakes, skunks, opossums, birds, bats, armadillos, and other nuisance wildlife depending on the situation.
What should I do if I hear scratching in my attic?
Avoid permanently sealing a suspected entrance until the activity is evaluated. An animal or dependent young may still be inside. The time, location, and pattern of the noise can also help identify the animal.
Are wildlife inspections free in Mustang?
Free wildlife inspections are available for homeowners who live in the home within our regular service area. Inspections for landlords, tenants, and certain other situations are not automatically free.
Do you warranty wildlife exclusion work?
Qualifying exclusion work includes a one-year written warranty. Renewable lifetime coverage is available under the terms of our warranty program.
Why does the animal need to be removed before the hole is sealed?
Closing an active opening too early can trap wildlife inside or separate dependent young from their mother. The current wildlife issue should be resolved before permanent exclusion is completed.
