Not Your Average Garden Pest

Keeping armadillos away from your property requires specialized solutions – they can dig under standard fencing, ignore common repellents, and burrow right through basic barriers.

This is why we have developed armadillo removal techniques specifically for Houston’s soil types and property layouts.

Results That You Can See

We combine effective trapping with strategic barrier installation to stop armadillos from returning to your property. Our proven methods have protected hundreds of Houston yards from persistent diggers, saving homeowners thousands in potential landscape damage.

Most importantly, we understand how armadillos move through Houston properties, allowing us to target their specific travel patterns and entry points.

Signs You Need Armadillo Removal

Fresh Holes Every Morning

Small, cone-shaped holes 2-3 inches wide appearing overnight in your lawn or garden beds. These distinctive feeding holes often appear in lines or clusters as armadillos search for grubs and insects.

Active Burrow Sites

Larger holes 7-10 inches wide near fences, structures, or dense vegetation. These burrow entrances often have packed dirt around the opening and clear paths leading to them.

Damaged Landscaping

Torn-up flower beds, uprooted plants, and disturbed mulch areas. Armadillos can destroy carefully maintained landscaping in a single night while hunting for food.

Nightly Property Activity

Security cameras or motion lights regularly triggered throughout the night and during early morning hours. You might also notice distinct tracks in soft soil or mulch areas.

Active armadillo burrow undermining concrete walkway, creating potentially costly foundation issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

We are here to address your concerns about armadillo removal and provide you with the information you need.

Most armadillo problems are resolved within 3-5 days. However, properties with multiple armadillos or complex landscapes might require 7-10 days for complete removal.

Yes. Their burrows can undermine concrete slabs, patios, and walkways by creating voids underneath. They often dig along foundations, which can lead to soil erosion and structural issues.

They’re hunting for food – mainly grubs, insects, and worms living in your soil. A single armadillo can dig dozens of holes each night as they search for these underground treats.

We install specialized barriers in key areas to prevent future access to your property. Our prevention methods focus on blocking known entry points and common travel routes.

Armadillos remain active year-round in Houston, but we see increased activity during spring and summer when soil is softer and their food sources are more abundant.

Each situation is unique, as costs depend on property size, number of armadillos, and required prevention measures. We provide detailed quotes after a thorough property inspection. Solutions start at $399.

Danny and Zane came to our house shortly after my initial call to WWE and tackled a pesky squirrel issue. They arrived on time, knew just what to do, and even got up on the roof (something Biotech, Romney, and many other pest companies won’t do) to ensure everything was sealed. They were transparent and informative. No sales pitch. They were polite, articulate, thorough, and tidy (they picked up dropped materials from the grass and gutters).

I RARELY (never) leave reviews, but feel compelled when a business delivers customer service that I didn’t know existed anymore. I called WWE because raccoons were turning the soffits of my house into an AirBNB. I had seen several coming out of a hole on one corner and could hear them in my ceiling. Michael came out and did an exterior survey of the first and second floors and found three entry points. I closed two of the entry holes but left their main one open. Michael set a trap on the roof near the entry and even secured the cage to the roof so it wouldn’t fall and injure the animal or someone below. He told me to text him if the trap captured anything. On the first night TWO raccoons found their way inside. I let him know at 10pm on a Sunday and he came THAT SAME NIGHT to swap the trap and release the raccoons 10+ miles away. Never expected that. I told him they were crying and he didn’t want them to hurt themselves trying to get out. Over the next week, he captured and released FOUR more, including another late night pickup. We even caught a random possum that we let go down the street. Poor guy. Michael has climbed onto my roof five nights in a row. We STILL have one adult and one juvenile that the cameras have seen to trap and release, but I imagine they will be gone in a day or two. Six down, two to go. Not only are Michael and WWE compassionate with the animals, they are EFFECTIVE and Michael has taught me more about raccoons than I EVER wanted to know. Raccoons and VERY territorial and can be VERY aggressive. Who knew? WWE is not the cheapest but not the most expensive service in the area, but they are DECIDEDLY EFFECTIVE and responsive to every question or concern I have had. Seeing SO many animals being removed SO quickly, is a huge relief to me. They actually developed a strategy to capture the animals based on their patterns, rather than just throwing out a trap and hoping for the best. I can’t say more about how impressed I am at their customer service, their knowledge of animals, their compassion, and most of all their effectiveness. That alone is the value they bring. If you have a nuisance animal problem, you won’t regret hiring WWE. They just get it done. Simple as that.

Heard scratching in our ceiling >> Daniel was out the next day 👍🏻 to examine our roof for possible points of entry and our attic for signs of rodents. He's obviously highly experienced about the various pests in The Woodlands, how they get in, and what signs they leave behind. Here's what I appreciated so much about Daniel...rather than immediately propose a treatment plan, he said "let's first try to determine what rodent we're dealing with." With the bait untouched after a week he said "you're good for now" and suggested that we monitor the situation. If the scratching noises returned then give him a call. He charged a super reasonable service fee for the initial inspection. In today's world of large corporate pest and rodent control companies, it's great to have a local, family-run company that does business the right way!

Highly recommend Daniel - he doesn’t “over sell” you and recommends only the services you actually need. We needed some additional work done within the first year and Daniel came out immediately to fix it at no cost. Great company to work with and best of all - no more squirrels in the attic!
