Lake Jackson, TX Armadillo Removal

Armadillos are single-minded diggers that can turn a well-maintained lawn into a pockmarked mess overnight, and the loose, sandy soils in parts of Brazoria County make the area particularly attractive to them. The Critter Squad Inc. provides Lake Jackson, TX, Armadillo Removal and trapping to stop the damage before it reaches foundations, walkways, and irrigation systems. The nine-banded armadillo is the only armadillo species found in Texas and is the official state small mammal. They are nocturnal and feed almost entirely on insects and grubs, which they locate by rooting through topsoil with their powerful front claws. The damage to a yard is often the first sign - clusters of small, conical holes across the lawn, torn-up flower beds, and disrupted mulch. The larger structural concern is when armadillos burrow along foundations, under sidewalks, or beneath driveways, which can undermine the support beneath those surfaces over time. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department classifies armadillos as nongame animals, so they can be trapped and removed year-round without seasonal restrictions. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that nine-banded armadillos are a natural reservoir for Mycobacterium leprae, the bacterium responsible for Hansen's disease, though the risk of transmission to humans is low and generally requires direct, repeated contact with the animal. This episode explains armadillo behavior, why certain properties attract them more than others, and what an effective trapping strategy looks like. Unlike attic-dwelling wildlife, armadillos cannot be excluded with standard methods like one-way valves or screening, so live trapping based on the animal's foraging routes and travel patterns is the standard approach. The Critter Squad Inc. sets targeted traps, removes the animals, and provides guidance on reducing the grub populations and habitat features that attract armadillos to a property. Founded in 2014 by Zach and Taylor Hohman, the company is fully licensed and insured in Texas, a member of the National Wildlife Control Operators Association, and brings over 15 years of field experience to every job. If you are finding fresh digging holes across your yard each morning, noticing burrow entrances along your foundation or fence line, or seeing torn-up landscaping beds, armadillos are the most likely cause in Brazoria County.
