Armadillo Removal in Houston, TX

Our Armadillo Removal Service

Armadillo problems usually show up as damage first. Homeowners in Houston start noticing holes across the yard, areas of torn-up grass, or burrows forming near the foundation or driveway. By the time that damage is visible, the armadillo has already been active on the property.

Our armadillo removal service is focused on locating where the animal is feeding and traveling, then setting traps in the right areas to remove it effectively. Armadillos are nocturnal and follow consistent patterns, so placement and timing matter. Simply trying to chase them off or fill in holes won’t solve the problem if the animal is still active.

After removal, we can also point out what’s attracting the armadillo and where it’s gaining access so you’re not dealing with the same issue again. Call us at (281) 608-8657 or submit a contact form for a free armadillo removal estimate near Houston.

Armadillo Damage to Lawns, Foundations, and Landscaping

Armadillos can do a surprising amount of damage in a short amount of time. Most of the damage comes from their constant digging as they search for insects and grubs in the soil. What starts as a few small holes can quickly turn into a yard full of uneven ground and torn-up grass.

Common types of armadillo damage include:

  • Dozens of small holes across the lawn from foraging
  • Larger burrows near foundations, driveways, or slabs
  • Uprooted plants and disturbed landscaping beds
  • Soil displacement that creates soft spots and trip hazards
  • Burrowing that can weaken areas around structures over time

In some cases, burrows near the foundation or concrete can lead to shifting or settling issues if left untreated. The longer armadillos stay active on a property, the more damage they tend to cause.
