Edward 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!!

This is an outstanding company. We had hogs ripping up our pasture. He came out set the traps and shortly after trapped 11 hogs. Hire him! He’s professional, honest, knowledgeable, friendly, and takes care of ridding your land of hogs. I’m so glad we hired him!

We 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.

We dealt with wild hogs destroying our lawn and landscaping for several months. We decided to seek professional assistance and I’m glad we did. Ed and his team were very knowledgeable and professional. They addressed our issue quickly and as humanely as possible. I would definitely use him again and highly recommend his services.

I am a MUD boardember who recently hired Edward and TWHC for a pig issue in a Conroe subdivision. He has made this invasion of ferals easier through his professionalism and immediate attention. Through his diligent management, we have reduced the problem and he continues to monitor the property. We recently have set up a second pen and proactively looking at another site if we need it. Always responsive, very reasonable and knowledgeable. We are glad we found you!

About Texas Wild Hog Control

Texas Wild Hog Control is fully insured and was founded in 2018 by experienced outdoorsman and feral hog trapper Ed Dickey. In 2023, Texas Wild Hog Control expanded to include Nutria and Duck removal. We have all the latest trapping equipment and we get the job done every time. The Nutria on your property won’t stand a chance.

Why Are Nutria Bad?

Nutria are bad because they’re territorial wild animals that shouldn’t live around people. Challenge one, and they fight back: scratching, clawing, and even biting—anything to defend their turf. Imagine your curious 3 year old getting too close to the Nutria’s habitat? Or even worse, attempting to pet one? For these reasons, if you have a Nutria problem, you gotta take care of it, if only for the safety of the smallest members of your property.

What Makes Nutria an Invasive Species?

An invasive species is one that is introduced to an area with no known predators, and no way to keep their rapidly expanding numbers in check through natural means. Nutria, since arriving in Texas, make their nests around shallow waterways, and have had no competition in our natural environment. This means that they can spread quickly, consuming resources, destroying property, and making a mess anywhere they spread.

What Does Nutria Removal Cost?

To remove Nutria effectively, we need to operate when nutria are most active, which is at night, and we need to be on-site, which will require multiple trips from our home base near Houston. Because of the work that’s involved, removing Nutria is considered moderately priced, but we won’t know the exact price until we inspect your property.

What Does Nutria Damage Look Like?

Nutria typically make their nests next to shallow ponds, manmade lakes, and rivers. They burrow into the shoreline and water seeps in making the area around marshy, swampy and unusable.

Can Nutria harm pets?

If you love your pets, you’re not going to love what I’m about to tell you. Leaving a Nutria problem unchecked, can result in droppings from Nutria poisoning the grass in your yard becoming toxic and unsafe for your dogs. Nutria droppings in particular are problematic because they can cause your pets’ liver to unexpectedly fail, resulting in the premature death of your pooch. If your dog loves being outside, you’ll want to make sure you send the Nutria packing.

How do Nutria impact vegetation and other wildlife?

Methane toxicity results from the Nutria pooping in the water, and over time droppings build up, and that can cause the death of countless fish, frogs, and turtles who depend on clean water to survive. So if one day you head out to your stocked fishing lake on a Sunday afternoon and don’t catch anything, it might be the Nutria are killing your stock before you can even get ’em biting. Nutria also take out plants by the root, so the soil around a Nutria habitat will not be secured by roots, and will get swampy, mushy, and terrible.
