As Houston County’s most trusted licensed pest control company (TPCL #13381), Critter Gitters serves Crockett, Texas and all surrounding communities.
Rodent Pressure at the Crockett Forest Edge
Crockett’s location adjacent to the Davy Crockett National Forest and thousands of acres of East Texas timberland means homes on the city’s edges are constantly exposed to Norway rats, roof rats, and deer mice moving in from surrounding habitat — especially in fall and winter when temperatures drop and food sources thin out.
Rodents enter homes through gaps as small as a quarter inch around pipes, utility lines, vents, and foundation cracks. Once inside, they contaminate food, chew electrical wiring (a leading cause of house fires), and introduce fleas, ticks, and hantavirus into the living space. Read our rodent-proofing guide for East Texas homes for steps you can take right now.
Our Rodent Exclusion & Trapping Process
Critter Gitters uses integrated rodent management for Crockett properties: a full inspection to identify entry points and harborage areas, mechanical trapping inside the structure, exclusion work to seal entry gaps, and sanitation recommendations to eliminate food and water sources that attract rodents.
We do not rely solely on rodenticide bait stations inside occupied structures, which risks secondary poisoning of pets and non-target wildlife. Our exclusion-first approach stops rodents from returning. Texas A&M AgriLife Extension supports this integrated approach as most effective for long-term control.
