The Critter Team Wildlife Removal Podcast
The Critter Team Wildlife Removal Podcast The Critter Team is a 100% military veteran owned and operated wildlife removal company serving more than 60 communities across Harris, Montgomery, Liberty, and Chambers counties in the greater Houston, Texas area. The company was founded in June 2015 by Mike Garrett, a retired US Army veteran who spent 20 years in uniform before bringing that same discipline, accountability, and zero-fail mentality into the wildlife control industry. Mike runs the business with his wife Victoria, who manages scheduling, customer communication, billing, and daily operations as Office Manager. With offices in Humble and Spring, The Critter Team provides 24/7 emergency wildlife service to residential and commercial properties across Houston, The Woodlands, Conroe, Kingwood, Atascocita, Summerwood, Cypress, Tomball, Katy, Crosby, Porter, Huffman, Magnolia, Cleveland, Livingston, Montgomery, Shenandoah, and dozens of surrounding neighborhoods. The company is fully licensed and permitted for nuisance wildlife control in Texas and carries $1 million per occurrence general liability, $2 million aggregate, and full workers' compensation coverage. All work is performed in-house by trained company employees. Mike Garrett's credentials set The Critter Team apart in a field where most operators carry little more than a basic trapping permit. He holds a National Wildlife Control Operators Association (NWCOA) Bat Standards Certification, a rigorous credential covering bat biology, exclusion techniques, and safe handling, along with a certificate of completion for the NWCOA Wildlife Control Operators Training Course. The company is a Ridge Guard Certified Installer and authorized distributor for the north Houston metro area, a Bird Barrier Certified Installer, and the team holds additional certifications in Advanced Metal Fabrication for wildlife exclusion and Precision Shooting in Critical Environments. Mike has personally completed 60 to 80 bat exclusion projects and was featured on CW39 Houston as the expert source on rabid bat bites. In 2025, the company received the Wildlife Removal Directory Excellence Award for outstanding wildlife control services across Montgomery, Liberty, and Harris counties. Services span the full range of wildlife issues Houston-area properties deal with: bat removal and exclusion, raccoon removal, squirrel removal, roof rat removal, snake removal for venomous and non-venomous species, bird control, skunk trapping, armadillo trapping, beaver removal, nutria removal, opossum removal, mole removal, dead animal removal, coyote trapping, and feral hog removal. The team also handles attic restoration and decontamination, wildlife exclusion using custom-fabricated 23-gauge aluminum and commercial-grade sealants, structural damage repair to soffits, fascia, roofing, electrical wiring, drywall, and HVAC ductwork, and full insulation replacement. Customers across Google, Yelp, and Nextdoor consistently call out Mike and his crew by name for honest assessments, thorough inspections with photos, and work that holds up long after the truck leaves. Team members Jeff, Julio, Tad, and Chris have each been praised individually in verified customer reviews. One reviewer described calling another company that quoted $4,000 without even inspecting the property. The Critter Team came out, did a proper inspection, and determined no expensive treatment was needed at all. The company follows a 5-step process on every job: comprehensive home inspection with species identification and photo documentation, humane animal removal using professional traps selected for safety around children and pets, full cleanup and decontamination of affected areas, animal damage repair by in-house technicians, and guaranteed exclusion work backed by a written warranty. With a collective 4.6-star Google rating across both locations and over a decade of serving the Houston metro area, The Critter Team has built its name the same way Mike Garrett builds an exclusion job - by doing it right the first time.
