Questions & answers
A beaver dam is flooding my property and timber. What can you do?
We remove the beavers and clear the blockage from the spillway or culvert so the water drops and moves again. That stops the flooding before it girdles more trees or puts your dam at risk. For the repair afterward, a damaged dam, a leak, or an eroded bank, we point you to our sister company Lochow Ranch and its renovation crew.
Otters are eating my stocked bass. Can you stop it?
Yes. A resident otter family goes after your best fish and can hurt a trophy-bass program in one season. We remove them under Texas law so the fishery you paid for stays intact. It is the same kind of fishery our sister brands Shoreline Consulting and Lochow Ranch build and manage, and this is how we protect it.
Nutria and muskrat are burrowing into my dam and pond banks. Can you help?
Yes. Nutria and muskrat tunnel into dams, levees, and banks and graze out the plants that hold a shoreline together, and that shows up as slumping banks and washouts. We trap the animals working your water, then get you to the right crew for the bank or dam repair before it fails.
How fast can you respond?
This kind of damage adds up quickly, so we work on a fast callback. Tell us what you're seeing and where you are, and we'll come back to you with a plan and a timeline.
What areas do you cover?
We run out of the Bryan-College Station area and cover our Texas service hubs: Bryan, Houston, Dallas, Marble Falls, and Tyler, including the Highland Lakes and Hill Country around Marble Falls. We also reach into neighboring Louisiana, Arkansas, and Oklahoma. If you sit somewhere between those hubs, ask anyway and we'll tell you straight whether we can get to you.
Is trapping legal, and is it humane?
Yes. We work professionally and within Texas law, using legal, humane removal methods matched to the species and the situation. We are licensed and insured, and we keep the work inside what the state allows.
How much does trapping cost?
It depends on the species, the size of the property, how many animals are working it, and how far out you are. We size up the job first and give you an honest quote before any work starts. Give us the species and the property and we'll walk you through what moves the number.
What happens on the first visit?
We read the fresh sign to confirm what's actually causing the damage, look over the property and the water, and lay out a plan: what we would target, how, and what to expect. Then we set the work up so we remove the animals doing the damage without over-trapping.
Can you keep the animals from coming back?
Removal handles the animals working your place now. To keep new ones from moving in, we point out what's drawing them, spilled feed, easy den sites, open banks, and where a repair or a change on the property closes the door. Repairs to a dam, a bank, or the pond itself go to our sister company Lochow Ranch.
Something is costing you right now?
Give us the damage and where you are. You'll get a fast callback from someone who can tell you what is doing it and what it takes to stop.
