Ryan LeeJanuary 6, 2026Edward and his team have been great from the start. My property sits next to a heavily wooded area so these hogs are a big problem. We caught 14 hogs in 1 month: 6 in one night, 1 in another, 2 in another, and 5 in the last. I like his methods because he knows how hogs have become more adept at shying away from amateur traps so if you want the job done right go with Edward!!Laura CarruthSeptember 7, 2025This is an outstanding company.

He’s professional, honest, knowledgeable, friendly, and takes care of ridding your land of hogs. I’m so glad we hired him!James McCartyApril 20, 2025We had 11 pigs show up and stared to make them self's at home at night (near Seguin Texas). They emptied our wildlife feeders and run of all the wildlife around. They also destroyed the property and mess up our pond. We contacted Texas Wild Hog control to deal with the 11 pigs. With Edwards knowledge and professional the pigs were taken care of with in a few weeks. We would use Texas Wild Hog Control again if we have a hog issues again.Eric JosphMarch 4, 2025We dealt with wild hogs destroying our lawn and landscaping for several months.

HOG TRAPPING: OUR THREE STEP PROCESS
WE SET UP A BAIT SITE
We’ll create a bait site, attracting hogs to the area. Our goal in the baiting process is to make the hogs feel comfortable. We also take extra precautions to make sure that we’re only trapping wild pigs, and not deer or other wildlife.
WE PICK THE BEST TIME TO SPRING THE TRAP
The trapping process is where our expertise really shines. We create conditions where we can attract the whole group (sounder) into the trap, getting all the hogs that cause your problems. We have cameras set up around the trap that tells us when the hogs are active, and once we’re convinced we’ve got ’em, we’ll drop the gate and it’s game over for the hogs.
WE REMOVE THE HOGS
Once the hogs have been secured in the pen, we’ll take steps to ethically remove the hogs and get them off your property. If you don’t have a preferred landscaper and would prefer we repair the damage, we can take care of that for you for an added fee once the hogs are gone.
FERAL PIGS: DAMAGE GALLERY
FERAL HOGS: THE PROBLEM
Feral hogs are releated to eurasian wild hogs and are most active after dark, posing serious dangers to humans, pets, crops, land, and property. If provoked, they can become aggressive. They can be especially dangerous to children and pets while also wiping out entire crops and destroying your lawn or land.
While it is possible to kill off feral pigs and texas boars with a rifle, this strategy can be ineffective because you’re not eliminating the entire sounder (herd). Killing one or two at night won’t stop the damage because the rest of the sounder will be back in a few nights. Texas Wild Hog Control specializes in using advanced trapping techniques to remove all the hogs at once, so you can begin the process of restoring your land and property.

NUTRIA REMOVAL
Get rid of the invasive critters ruining your waterways fast!
WHAT ARE NUTRIA?
According to Wikipedia, Nutria are native to South America and were introduced to the world by fur traders. Nutria are from the mouse genus and are an aquatic furry mammal in Texas constituting an invasive species. Here they have very few natural predators and often dig burrows to build their homes, which can cause flooding or other disruptions to common property managed by an HOA.
NUTRIA DAMAGE
When Nutria invade the water near your home, you’ll start to see the soil on the edges of manmade lakes and rivers begin to look marshy. This is due to the damage caused by these invasive creatures. They burrow and dig, and consume all the aquatic vegetation in the surrounding areas. With no natural predators, they breed quickly, and in a few months can overrun not just one pond, but several. That’s why, if you spot Nutria damage, it’s best to have them removed before it becomes a much more expensive proposition.
IT’S GAME OVER FOR THE NUTRIA IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD. ONE CALL DOES IT ALL!
NUTRIA QUESTIONS ANSWERED
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NUTRIA AND BEAVER?
This is almost always the first question people ask when it comes to Nutria. We’ve highlighted the teeth in the image on the left, so you can see how sharp and destructive they can be—and also so you can see the similarities to beavers.
Like beavers, Nutria are rodents that are primarily aquatic. They can swim well, but they lack the broad, flat tail that you typically see with beaver. Their habitat is different as well. They burrow in swampy, marshy water to make their home, while beaver cut down trees.
That being said, it would be wrong to think that just because Nutria don’t cut down trees, they aren’t as dangerous. Nutria are just as destructive as beaver, and over time they can cause significant damage to your property.
IS IT LEGAL TO HUNT NUTRIA IN TEXAS?
Yes, it is legal to hunt Nutria in Texas! Because they’re considered an invasive species, you don’t need a hunting or trapping license to shoot them. As long as you’re the property owner on your own land, you don’t have to have any kind of permit.
If it’s legal to hunt Nutria, why can’t I do it myself?
You may be wondering, if it’s legal to hunt Nutria, why can’t I do it myself? There are a number of reasons why it’s not recommended to hunt them in a residential neighborhood, even if you’re an experienced marksman.
DUCK REMOVAL
We’ll take care of your duck problem in one fowl swoop!
WHAT IS A MUSCOVY DUCK?
According to Wikipedia, Muscovy Ducks are native to the Rio Grande regions of Texas and flourish in the warm waters of Texas, though they can spread north into cooler climates. Muscovy Ducks easily adapt to human activity, and feed off trash and other human waste, as well as fill the waterways they call home with their own waste and other byproducts. They breed quickly in human areas, and can quickly overtake a pond or other water source.

BUT DUCKS ARE CUTE, RIGHT? WHAT’S SO BAD ABOUT DUCKS?
Once a flock of Muscovy Ducks calls your neighborhood home, you’ll start finding duck poop everywhere. On the sidewalk. In your yard. In your garden. The ducks will roam and forage all over the neighborhood, and they’ll start trampling your landscaping, gardening and worse—they can get super aggressive should you get close to their babies. And if a neighbor decides to feed the ducks, they’ll just attract more. Simply put, Muscovy Ducks don’t belong in your neighborhood, and they should absolutely be removed.
IT’S TIME TO SHOW THE DUCKS WHO’S BOSS. ONE CALL DOES IT ALL!
MUSCOVY DUCK FAQ
What makes Muscovy Ducks an invasive species?
While Muscovy Ducks are native to the warm waters of the Rio Grande, in areas where they lack natural predators, they spread like wildfire and attach themselves to human areas. This by definition makes them an invasive species, as they have a negative impact on the ecosystems where they make their home.
For many communities, the only way out of the duck problem is to trap them and opt for their swift removal. Keeping ducks away from humans is not only better for us, it’s better for the ducks themselves.
Is it legal to hunt Muscovy Ducks in Texas?
In some areas of Texas, Muscovy Ducks are protected, so there are restrictions on hunting them. However, it is possible to remove the ducks if you comply with the U.S. Department of Interior Fish and Wildlife Services regulations regarding disposal or relocation of Muscovy ducks. Citizens who wish to remove Muscovy ducks from their property will do so by providing their own trapping system. Traps can be difficult to figure out, as well as knowing how to bait them, which is why it’s better to hire a professional.
Are Muscovy Ducks good to eat?
Muscovy Ducks are often served as a delicacy in certain fine dining restaurants, but you probably wouldn’t want to eat a bird from your neighborhood. The ducks that they serve in fancy restaurants, are also fed a very specific diet while alive. The birds from your neighborhood mostly feed off of human waste, altering the flavor of the meat, and making them taste very gamey and not worth the trouble.
HOG-PROOF FENCING
Investing in a hog-proof fence can really save your bacon.

The choice is yours. Don’t be that guy.
ANATOMY OF A GREAT FENCE
Galvanized Coating Goes the Distance
Feral swine can exert a lot of force, which is why the quality of the fence needs to be of a higher grade than your typical aluminum fence. The galvanized coating we apply to our fences will improve longevity by keeping rust at bay. Notice in the photo to the left, you can easily tell this fence is older but the mesh part still looks brand new.
Barbed Wire to Stop Larger Animals
While some feral pigs can grow to a considerable size, the barbed wire will not only repel the boars, sows, and piglets–it will also repel coyotes, deer, and other wildlife you may not want on your land. Barbed wire is also useful for making sure your animals don’t leave your property, making it essential for animal control.
Flexible Mesh Joints Bend, But Never Break
We’ve already touched on how the galvanized coating adds life to the mesh that keeps problem animals out, but you may not realize that the mesh itself has another secret weapon. The joints that connect each square within the rest of the fence are designed to flex against the force of an aggressive critter. These joints mean the fence can bend considerably and will not break, keeping the pigs out.
HOW MUCH DOES A HOG-PROOF FENCE COST?
Because each property is different, there’s no fixed price we can charge for a hog-proof fence. When it comes to fencing, we first need to measure your land to see how much fencing we’re talking. We need to estimate the number of posts, barbed wire, and mesh we’ll need while also accounting for our labor. The only way to truly know how much a fence will cost is to invite us to your property so we can accurately measure.

LAND CLEARING SERVICES
If you own substantial acerage, you know how difficult it can be keeping undergrowth in check. Clearing brush and saplings by hand is a labor intensive process that keeps you from using your land to its full potential. That’s where Texas Wild Hog Control can help!
With professional brush mulching and land-clearing equipment, we’ll make short work of the obstructions that stand in the way. Whether you need trees cleared for new home construction, a clear path through brush and vegetation for your ATVs, or your undergrowth professionally managed–Texas Wild Hog Control has you covered!
Brush Mulching:
“A forestry management technique that uses heavy equipment to grind undergrowth, including: stumps, saplings, trees, weeds, and grass down to the soil level while leaving older trees intact.”
Brush Mulching Benefits:
Turns weeds, unwanted trees, and invasive species into valuable mulch that can sustain the growth that you want to preserve. At the same time, brush mulching eliminates the competition for nutrients and resources so that your land can bounce back healthier and stronger than before. Brush mulching can also create a fire break that will help prevent forest fires, protecting your land and animals.

That’s why we’re now offering landscaping services to clear up the hog damage so your property can be restored to the way it was before your problem began. We’ll lay down new sod and eliminate the mud and muck the pigs leave behind. It’s a win-win! While not included with our standard service, you can add it to your hog-trapping package and we’ll take care of it at the end.
FOR ALL YOUR LAND MANAGEMENT NEEDS, THERE’S ONLY ONE NUMBER TO CALL!
Land Clearing:
“Land clearing is simply the process of removing trees, shrubbery and other vegetation from a plot of land, typically done to pave the way for new construction.”
Land Clearing Benefits:
Pave the way for your dream home, reduce the risk of forest fires, and make better use of your land by clearing a path or an entire area. Land clearing is a great step to take if you want to maximize the benefits that come from owning land.
HOW MUCH DOES LAND CLEARING COST?
Because each job is different, we don’t offer a fixed price for land clearing services. The cost depends on the acreage that needs to be cleared, the equipment involved, and the man-hours required to accomplish what you want. That being said, we’d love to visit your property and learn more about your goals! Give us a call today!

WILD BOAR HUNTING TIPS
TIP #1: FERAL HOGS ARE ACTIVE AT NIGHT
When wild hogs operate in areas with a lot of human activity, they adapt their patterns to be active late at night or early in the morning. They do this for safety. Operating in human areas during the day often proves fatal for the hogs and the rest of the sounder (herd). By coming out at night when most humans are fast asleep, they can more easily forage for food (and demolish your crops and rip up your lawn in the process). If you want your best chance to get a wild boar, you need to be active during the night too.
TIP #2: GET THE RIGHT CAMO
Wild Boars, sows, and piglets are highly intelligent animals. If something doesn’t seem right about their environment, they’ll leave. In order to have a successful hunt, you need to make sure you blend in with your environment. If hunting in the day, it’s best to cover up your skin as much as possible or use a blind.
A pig’s eyesight at night isn’t that good, unlike most predators and dogs for instance. It’s actually close to humans in that aspect. Their best defense against predators is their sense of smell so, you always want to be set up downwind of them so as to keep them from smelling you. As with any hunt, you need to make sure your movements are slow and calculated. Don’t make noise, and be ready when the time comes.
TIP #3: LEARN TO SPOT PIG TRACKS & SCAT
Our website has a lot of good information that will help you identify wild hogs, but if you’re trying to get a huge boar, you really need to up your tracking game to get close. As we’ve said before, wild hogs are some of the smartest animals you’ll ever hunt and to outsmart them, you need to follow their trail without letting your scent get downwind. This will help you sneak up on the sounder and give you the edge in your quest to get a big boar.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
DO I NEED A PERMIT TO HUNT WILD PIGS IN TEXAS?
In the State of Texas, you only need a permit to shoot wild pigs if you’re on public land. On private land, you don’t need a permit at all. Feral hogs are considered to be an invasive species, which is why hunting of these animals is encouraged.
WHAT’S THE BEST BAIT FOR FERAL HOGS?
The best bait for wild boars, pigs, sows–really the entire sounder, is corn. While pigs will root through the topsoil looking for worms and bugs, they would much rather feast on crops if they can get it. During winter months, crops and other vegetation are not on the menu so using corn as bait is perfect for both hunting and hog trapping.
Are Feral Hogs good to eat?
Eating wild pigs can be dangerous, because some of them are carriers of worms and a disease called brucellosis, which is spread among hogs through mating and giving birth. Once a hog has brucellosis, they have it for life. A person can get very sick from this disease so you need to be careful if you decide to eat your kill. Avoid eating anything that looks like it may have been sick, and burn any parts of the animal you don’t eat. That being said, wild pigs (especially the young ones) can taste very good, albeit a little gamey. Some restaurants feature it on their menus, and butcher shops sell it in their stores. Because the taste is dissimilar to pork, we recommend trying the meat from a butcher shop first, before cooking it on your own.
