Waco, Killeen, & Temple Armadillo Control

It’s that time of year again in Texas. A All Animal Control of Waco is beginning to get a lot of calls from homeowners upset about their well manicured lawns and freshly mulched flower beds being torn apart by armadillos.

Armadillos dig holes in the ground looking for insects and small animals to eat. The reason they are so attracted to mulch beds is that they are able to dig for grubs much easier. Many homeowners will repair the damage caused by an armadillo the best they can, thinking it was just passing through, but soon find that the armadillo will continue to frequent the same spots, causing even more destruction.

Don’t be fooled by products claiming to repel armadillos. The only sure way of ridding yourself of an armadillo for good is by trapping it, but this is not a job for the average person. Your local Wildlife Professional has been specially trained in the safe removal and relocation of wildlife, including armadillos, specific to the Waco area.

A All Animal Control of Waco proudly serves the greater metropolitan area of Central Texas including Waco, Temple, Killeen, Belton and Bell, Burnet, Coryell, Falls, Lampasas, Milam, McLennan and Robertson County Texas.

Masked Bandits of Waco

One of the largest nuisance animals, raccoons live throughout the United States and Canada. They are also commonly known as coons or masked bandits. The masked bandit is for the black “mask” covering their face and their habit of stealing from pet food bowls, garbage cans, and bird feeders and wherever else the opportunity to steal food exists.

A distinguishing feature of raccoons is the black “mask” on their faces and their bushy, ringed tail. Raccoon fur is normally gray, but it can also have a brown tint to it. The typical weight of raccoons varies according to their locations, normally ranging from 10 to 25 pounds, with larger raccoons in the North and smaller ones in the South. Natural predators of raccoons include wolves, coyotes, and owls. Humans also prey on raccoons, primarily for their fur.

Because raccoons are excellent climbers, they are often able to get into the attics of our homes, where they can cause extensive damage. Pet food left out is often what draws raccoons to a home to begin with. Raccoons have very nimble hands and they can often be found grasping pet food with both hands and dipping it into the water bowl before eating it.

Raccoon control is not something for the do-it-yourselfer. By knowing the biology, habits and patterns of raccoons, Wildlife Professionals are better prepared and trained to remove the animal for you. We offer a quality raccoon removal service.

Waco Expert Snake Control

It’s now the middle of June, and summer is coming upon us fast. For snakes, as well as humans, early summer is one of the most active times of the year, especially when it comes to the time spent outdoors at night. Snakes will often wait until nighttime to come out due to the intense heat of the day, which also happens to be the same time humans are out enjoying other summertime activities such as catching lightning bugs and telling stories by the campfire.

Snakes don’t often cross most people's minds until they are surprised by the sight of one. The good news is that most snakes are non-venomous, and only a handful of people die from venomous snake bites every year in the U.S. Rattlesnakes have the most potent venom and cause the majority of the deaths.

If you do happen to spot a snake in your house or on your property, remember that the capture of snakes is not something for the average person. Wildlife Professionals have been trained in the quick identification of snakes. Unless you are a Wildlife Professional, treat all snake species as being venomous. Keep your distance and call a wildlife professional to handle the snake in your basement or garden.

Wild Hog Control Central Texas

Probably the most loved and hated animal in all of Texas history is the feral hog (Sus scrofa). The total estimated population in the United States is in the neighborhood of 4 million, and roughly half of them live in Texas.


Feral hogs decimate crops, destroy roads and fences, compete directly with other wildlife for forage, reproduce at an alarming rate, are a major contributor to the outbreak of e-coli in the rivers in Central Texas, namely McLennan County and can be near impossible to control.


The three strains of wild hogs in Texas are the Eurasian, the feral (escaped or domestic hogs), and the hybrids of these two breeding. Few, if any, pure Eurasian hogs remain. Coat color, pattern and bristle length can help identify the strain of feral hog.

Though there are many methods of control from allowing hunters access to public and private land to hiring a helicopter and sharpshooter, many methods come with great risk and at times minimal results. Some so called “hog exterminators” exit but be leery of many of these individual operations. Another option is to hire a true wildlife professional with experience that is licensed and insured for a long term resolution to the problem.


A All Animal Control of Central Texas has more than 20 years experience in dealing with feral hogs. Jimmy Catchings is a native born Texan and is a licensed and insured wildlife professional serving all of Central Texas from Waco, Killeen, Belton, Temple, Austin, Georgetown, Round Rock, Salado and surrounding areas.
