What we know, and what we do not.
Public sources group Kelliwood with Memorial Parkway and Nottingham Country as suburban developments in Greater Katy, described as dating from the 1970s and 1980s. That is all we could verify. We could not confirm its county, its exact boundary, a street list or any landmark inside it, so this page uses the common name and adds no invented details. For a rodent job the building decides, so you tell us the address and we start from the roofline.
If you are unsure whether your address counts as Kelliwood, it does not matter for booking. We confirm coverage by street and ZIP code.
If your home dates from that era.
We cannot say which homes in Kelliwood were built when, and many may have been updated. If yours is from the 1970s or 1980s, a few components are worth a look, because they wear with time. Garage door seals flatten, vent screens tear, soffit panels loosen and attic insulation settles.
| Component. | What wear can look like. | What we do. |
|---|---|---|
| Garage door seal. | Cracked or flattened rubber, daylight at the corners. | Replace the seal and close the slab seam. |
| Roof and soffit vents. | Loose or missing screens. | Install metal screens or covers. |
| Attic insulation. | Flattened, stained or tunneled batting. | Inspect and price cleanup or replacement. |
| Pipe and cable holes. | Gaps around lines that enter walls. | Collar, mesh and sealant. |
| Fence base. | Gaps beneath boards. | Report and suggest a repair. |
None of these is certain for any house. They suggest where to look, and the inspection shows which ones fit.
Trees, roofs and the routes between them.
A tree that has grown for decades can spread limbs across a roof. A roof rat can stroll along a branch to a soffit and squeeze through a gap that seems far too small. Trimming limbs back from the roof removes a bridge, and the work is best done by a tree service.
We check where limbs meet the roof, then examine the soffit, fascia and vents beneath. Where a gap is found, exclusion work closes it with metal and mesh.

Ring (888) 686-4821Garages, sheds and storage.
Garages in a development like this commonly hold years of stored items. Cardboard, holiday boxes and old furniture are nest material, and shelving against a wall hides the base of the wall. Moving items onto shelves and into sealed tubs helps more than most people expect.
- Lift boxes off the floor and a few inches from the wall.
- Replace cardboard with plastic tubs for long storage.
- Check the door seal and the corners for light.
- Look in sheds and outbuildings for droppings and nests.
Our garage page goes into the details.
Hot weather, storms and attics.
Attics in this climate get very hot, and animals nest where it is shaded or insulated. After storms, check for torn screens, loose flashing and debris at the foundation. Noises that start at dusk may come from the attic or the wall by the garage.
Phones are answered at any hour. A same-day visit is possible when the schedule has room, and we tell you the first available window on the call.
What to tell the dispatcher.
Give your street address, say whether you have a slab or a raised floor, and describe any trees that touch the roof. Mention a shed, a shared fence or a pet that roams. With those details, we arrive prepared.
Safety guidance built on CDC advice
Read through every line before handling anything, because a short pause spares your lungs.
- Aged pellets turn to powder that people breathe in, so leave them unswept.
- Unseen hazards can linger in stale air, so open the space, step away and give it half an hour.
- Shield your hands at the start and scrub them at the end.
- Keep applying liquid until no dry spot remains, then stand back for around five minutes before wiping.
- One securely closed bag is enough to carry droppings, towels and a carcass outside.
- Keep an eye on your health during the following weeks. If a fever or shortness of breath appears, give your doctor the exact details of what you touched.
