Wildlife X-Team is a private wildlife control business that charges for critter removal in Corpus Christi. Wildlife X-Team is available 24-7-365 and provides same-day wildlife removal services, including the removal of animals inside attics, rodent removal, and more.



If you have an animal problem and need assistance, there are several free animal control resources in Corpus Christi, Texas. The first thing you can try is your local Nueces County animal services, or the free Corpus Christi animal control services by calling (361) 853-4098. They may be able to help you with your critter problem, and possibly offer free raccoon removal or free snake removal. But they primarily deal with dogs and cats, and might not help with wildlife. For wildlife-specifice issues, try the Texas Wildlife Commission at (512) 389-8092. They do free wildlife control in Corpus Christi and all of Texas. But they often deal with special cases like bears, or illegal hunting. They might not help you with specific cases in your house, like free rodent control or free squirrel removal. At a more local level, you can call Corpus Christi Wildlife Rehabilitation at (361) 881-1888 for local free animal removal and trapping, and they may help with providing free critter removal in Corpus Christi. But this organization, like all wildlife rehab, mostly focuses on healing and caring for sick or injured wildlife. There's no business that provides free pest control in Corpus Christi that will remove wild animals that I know of, like free bat control or free rat removal. Sometimes, for a case of animals in an attic, or wildlife problems on private property, you need to hire and pay for wildlife removal, and if so, I recommend Wildlife X-Team at 361-356-3717. Some people wonder if animal control costs money, or how much does animal removal cost. For that, call 361-356-3717 and ask. Of course, you can be sure to get free pest wildlife removal if you solve the problem yourself, so read my Do-It-Yourself page for more hints. Finally, you can call the local Corpus Christi police department. Click here for Corpus Christi police department animal removal and for a short explanation.

Corpus Christi wildlife issues:

This took me deeper into the suburban neighborhood and I had to wait for daylight in order to find out what I had done. Occasionally we will become familiar with a section of the country without the use of a compass and we will find that our sense of direction is different than that of the compass. This does no harm unless we become lost and even then, it is not important if we know the compass location of the area in relation to the surrounding territory. There is one piece of suburban Corpus Christi neighborhood which I know as well as I know my own back yard. I have traped it many times and have never had any trouble in finding my way around, but if a man should meet me there and ask for the compass directions, I would have to look at my compass in order to give him the correct answer.

Even the sun is out of place, but I have adjusted myself to this unnatural condition so that I have no trouble in finding my way around. The same thing happened to me in a southern city, so it is not the suburban neighborhood which causes a person to become confused in his directions. I arrived at this city in the nighttime on a rain from the west. Unconsciously using this east-west railroad line as a direction base, I proceeded to make myself at home. I found a place to live that night and a place to work the next day. I don't remember when I first noticed that the sun was out of place, but it must have been within a day or two after I arrived. I lived there for over a month, never had any trouble in finding my way around and never succeeded in straightening out my directions. It seemed odd to board an east-bound street to go to the west end of town, but the strangeness soon became natural. I found that the train from the west circled the town and entered it from the southeast, and this is what put my mental compass out of order. Five years later, I re-entered this city by daylight and it was like entering a strange town.

Buildings that I recognized were on the wrong side of the Corpus Christi streets. Streets ran the wrong way and I had more trouble in finding my way around than when I had first lived there, and the sun came up in the west the list of things which a nuisance wildlife control professional could use in the suburban neighborhood is almost endless but the first thing on my list is a good compass. I have done a great deal of removing unwanted Corpus Christi wildlife without a compass and have never had trouble, but for the past twenty years I have never entered unfamiliar territory without this important aid. In my youth I, with one companion, spent a summer in the wilds of western Canada. Neither of us carried a compass or felt the need of one. We were lucky. To be sure, we were in a drainage basin which ran south for hundreds of miles and for at least sixty miles to the north.
