Nutria Removal & Trapping in Hood, Parker, Tarrant & Johnson Counties

Cost depends on the size of the property, the amount of activity, and how much damage has been done. We offer free inspections so we can give you an accurate quote before any work begins.

Check the tail. Beavers have a broad, flat, paddle-shaped tail, while nutria have a long, round, rat-like tail. Nutria also have white whiskers and a whitish muzzle. Another clue is behavior: beavers build dams and fell trees, while nutria burrow into banks and eat vegetation. If you're not sure, we'll identify it during the inspection.

No. Nutria don't build dams or lodges the way beavers do. They dig burrows into pond banks, shorelines, and dams, which can cause erosion and collapse over time.

Nutria were brought here from South America for the fur trade, and over time they escaped or were released into Southern wetlands and waterways. With no natural predators to keep them in check, they've spread. A single nutria eats a huge amount of vegetation in one night, their burrows weaken pond banks and dams, and they crowd out native wildlife that depends on the same habitat. Because they can breed several times a year, early action matters.

It's possible, especially if the property still has ideal conditions like water, easy food, and bank cover, or if nutria are active on neighboring properties. We can advise on ongoing prevention if that's a concern.

Yes. We assess the full scope of activity during the inspection and handle the situation accordingly, whether that's a single animal or an established group.

Yes. We use humane trapping methods to safely remove nutria from your property.

No. Nutria are an invasive species, so moving them just shifts the problem to someone else's property or waterway. We remove them permanently, which protects your property and helps keep native wildlife and habitat in balance.
