Thirty-plus lakes and a lot of 1960s rooflines
Casselberry has more than thirty lakes and ponds packed into a small city. Lake Howell is the biggest, and the Triplet Chain of Lakes sits at the heart of the old Fern Park Estates that gave the city its start. Lake Kathryn, Lake Concord and the water at Secret Lake Park and Red Bug Lake Park fill in the rest. Every one of those shorelines is a feeding ground and travel route for raccoons, opossums and the rats that follow people and their trash cans.
Much of the city grew quickly in the 1960s and 1970s, so a lot of homes are concrete block ranches that have been standing for decades. Original soffit screens have rusted, wood fascia has softened and roof vents have been replaced a few times, not always well. Those older roof lines are where we find most Casselberry entry points.
Then there’s the commercial side. US 17-92 and SR 436 carry a steady line of shopping centers, restaurants, offices and apartment complexes, and dumpsters and flat roofs give rats and raccoons plenty to work with. Head north across the county line into Winter Springs and the picture changes to lake marsh and creek woods.

A year of wildlife control in Casselberry
Florida doesn’t give critters an off season, but the calls we get from Casselberry do shift through the year. Knowing the pattern helps you get ahead of it.
Late winter into spring
Gray squirrels and raccoons are looking for nest sites, and an attic over a lakeside ranch home is a good one. This is when we check hardest for babies before anything gets sealed. See our squirrel trapping and exclusion page for how that works.
Summer
Bat maternity season runs April 15 through August 14, so bat colonies stay put until it ends. We inspect, document the roost and schedule the humane bat exclusion for the first allowed date. Squirrels often have a second litter late in the summer, too.
Fall and storm season
Storms lift shingles, tear soffit screens and knock vent covers loose. After a blow, take a walk around the house and look up. Roof rats move indoors more as nights cool, and new storm damage gives them an easy way in.
Casselberry homes vs commercial properties
We handle both, and the problems look different.
| Single-family homes | Businesses and apartment communities |
|---|---|
| Squirrels and raccoons in the attic | Roof rats around dumpsters and on flat roofs |
| Openings at soffits, vents and fascia | Openings at roof penetrations, parapets and utility lines |
| Armadillos and opossums in the yard | Raccoons in trash areas and behind buildings |
| Usually one roof line to seal | Often several buildings, coordinated with management |
Our wildlife control process
From the first call or text to the last sealed gap, it goes like this.
We come out and look
An inspection of the roof, attic, crawl space if there is one, and the ground around the house or building. You see what we see.
You get a straight plan
We explain what animal is there, how it’s getting in, and what removal, sealing and cleanup will cost before we touch anything.
Removal, done humanely
Traps, one-way doors, or both, set to FWC rules. We do our best to keep a mother with her babies. For rodents outside, we can place locked bait station boxes, part of our rat and mouse control.
Lock it down
We seal every opening with chew-resistant material through our prevention and exclusion work. If droppings or nesting are left, we clean and sanitize so the scent doesn’t draw new animals.

Called Critter Guys through a recommendation from my sister in Lakeland after we saw a squirrel peaking out from a hole above the garage at my mother’s home in Riverview. My sister had the same issue at her Lakeland home. We got an appointment for the Riverview house right away and Craig came out to do an assessment and estimate. The price was reasonable and Craig was very professional and friendly. He quickly assessed the issue and found 4 holes in the roof. He set up traps and came back a few days later. During that waiting time one of the traps in the attic caught a mouse. So, when he came back, he sealed off 3 of the holes and set up a one-way trap in the 4th hole to draw out any remaining critters. He’ll come back in 2 weeks to close off the remaining hole. He also gave us a 30 day warranty if anything else happens. So far we haven’t seen or heard anything else. I’m very happy with the service received and would highly recommend this company.

CritterGuys are the best! From my first positive interaction with Annie to my continued excellent service through Mike, CritterGuys have been superb! So far, they have quickly and professionally removed two raccoons and have set more traps in case more may follow. CritterGuys have been prompt, courteous, and professional. I will recommend them and call again if needed! Thank you, CritterGuys!

Simple things Casselberry homeowners can do
Prevention is always our first recommendation. A few habits go a long way.
- Keep trash can lids latched, especially on lakeside lots
- Bring pet food inside at night
- Trim tree limbs back several feet from the roof
- Check soffit screens and roof vents after every storm
- Pick up fallen fruit and birdseed under feeders
- Call us the first time you hear something, not the fifth

Wildlife questions from Casselberry homeowners
Still wondering about something? Call or text (321) 203-6963.
How fast can you get to my house in Casselberry?
We’re based in Fern Park, which borders Casselberry, so you’re about as close as a customer can get. Scheduling depends on the day’s workload, so call or text and we’ll find the first time that fits.
Should I call animal control or a wildlife company for raccoons in my Casselberry attic?
For an animal living inside your house, a private wildlife company like Critter Guys is the right call. Getting raccoons out of attics, then sealing the way they came in, is our everyday work. We do it humanely and under FWC rules.
What will wildlife control in Casselberry cost me?
We give you a firm quote after the inspection. The price depends on the animal, how many entry points there are and whether cleanup or repair is needed. Catching it early usually keeps the cost down.
Do you work with apartment complexes and businesses in Casselberry?
Yes, we work with businesses, HOAs, townhome communities and property managers as well as homeowners. Commercial jobs often involve rats around dumpsters and flat roofs, or raccoons behind buildings. We coordinate with management so the work fits around tenants and customers.
Are the snakes near Lake Howell dangerous?
Most snakes around Casselberry lakes are harmless, but Florida does have six venomous species and nobody should guess. Keep your distance, keep pets away and call us. We’ll identify it and remove it safely.
Why do I keep getting rats in my older Casselberry home?
Homes built in the 1960s and 1970s often have rusted soffit screens, worn vent covers and gaps around plumbing and AC lines that roof rats slip through. Trapping alone won’t fix it if those openings stay open. We trap, then seal, so the problem actually ends.
