PAY SERVICE: Wildlife X Team: 469-240-6627

Wildlife X Team is a private wildlife control business that charges for critter removal in Plano. 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 Plano, Texas. The first thing you can try is your local Collin County animal services, or the free Plano animal control services by calling 972-547-7292. 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 Plano 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 Plano Wildlife Rehabilitation at (214) 606-1987 for local free animal removal and trapping, and they may help with providing free critter removal in Plano. 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 Plano 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 469-240-6627. Some people wonder if animal control costs money, or how much does animal removal cost. For that, call 469-240-6627 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 Plano police department.

Plano wildlife issues:

When they came around, one of them asked the directions of a certain landing. I told them and pointed out the direction which they should take. They never slackened their speed or changed their direction, and if they continued their course, they would have reached the shore at some point about four miles to the south of their destination. It was nearly dark, and I don't know why they should ask direction and then fail to follow them, unless they were lost and slightly panicked by the possibility of spending the night on the Plano lake. They must have reached the shore without mishap, but they could have saved themselves a lot of rowing if they had taken the time to stop and talk to me and to listen to my directions then proceed as advised. Sometimes some natural configuration of an area will cause a person to become confused. Another man and I became turned around in the goat raising region of Texas while returning to our pest control headquarters one night.

We had a short two-mile hike and we anticipated no trouble. We were supposed to follow a Plano neighborhood that would lead us up to a plateau where the neighborhood became practically nonexistent until, at the end of a point it led to a break in the rimrock which it followed to the valley where our tent was located. We crossed the plateau in an easterly direction until we came to the edge. From there the valley was on our left so that we must have been on the north side of the point of land where the neighborhood was located; and if we followed the neighborhood, we should come to the break where the neighborhood left the plateau. We walked for a longer time than we felt was necessary and therefore deciding that we had made a mistake somewhere, we sat down and waited for the moon to rise. We knew that we would have about a two hour wait so we built a small fire and spent the time in idle conversation.

When the moon appeared, it apparently rose in the west. When we faced the moon, the valley was on our right when it should have been on our left. We spent a few minutes trying to figure out our location and then, knowing that Plano pest control headquarters must be in the east, we walked along the rim in that direction and soon came to the end of the point where the neighborhood was located. From there we could look down on our ten that showed up white in the increasing moonlight. We had done nothing wrong that night but had become turned around by following the edge of a point of land that described a half-circle and by failing to see the break in the rimrock where the neighborhood left the plateau. I encountered a similar situation one night while Plano raccoon removing unwanted wildlife. I intended to follow a small stream to a neighborhood which crossed it and that would lead me out of the suburban neighborhood. As I followed this stream when I came to a branch which I mistook for the main stream and I followed this branch without noticing the change in the direction of the current.
