Missouri City, TX Armadillo Removal

Armadillos are prolific diggers that can tear through a residential lawn in a single night, and Fort Bend County's soil and insect population make the area prime habitat for them. The Critter Squad Inc. provides Missouri City, TX, Armadillo Removal services for properties dealing with yard damage before it reaches foundations, sidewalks, and driveways. The nine-banded armadillo is the species found across Southeast Texas and is actually the official state small mammal of Texas. They are nocturnal and feed almost exclusively on insects and grubs, which they locate by digging shallow holes across lawns, flower beds, and landscaped areas. While the surface damage to a yard is the most visible problem, the larger concern is when armadillos burrow along foundations, under sidewalks, and beneath driveways, which can undermine the structural support of those surfaces over time. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department classifies armadillos as nongame animals with no closed season, so they can be trapped and removed year-round. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also notes that nine-banded armadillos are a known natural reservoir for Mycobacterium leprae, the bacteria that causes Hansen's disease, though human transmission is uncommon and typically requires direct, repeated contact. This episode explains armadillo behavior, why they target certain properties, and what an effective trapping program looks like. Armadillos do not respond well to exclusion the way attic-dwelling wildlife does, so trapping is the primary method. The Critter Squad Inc. sets targeted live traps based on the animal's travel patterns and foraging routes, removes them, and advises property owners on reducing the grub and insect populations that draw armadillos to the yard in the first place. Founded in 2014 by Zach and Taylor Hohman, the company is a veteran-owned operation that 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 clusters of small holes across your lawn each morning, or noticing burrow openings along your foundation or fence line, armadillos are the most likely cause. The Critter Squad Inc. serves all of Fort Bend County and is available at (832) 781-2050 for a free assessment, with same-day or next-day appointments available seven days a week.
