I saw an opossum that disappeared into my basement last night, and this morning, in under 2 hours, I had an appointment, a text with an ETA, a professional and friendly extractor named Steve, and a mama + 2 baby 'possums trapped and taken away! If only the rest of my life could be so seamless... read more

The service could not have been better. Steve came out quickly and dealt with the issue so fast. The price was reasonable as well. He was so polite. I highly recommend. read more

I'm dealing with an ailment at the moment, and a nurse was at my condo checking on me. She jumped up and said she saw a critter in my room. The way she described it, the only thing it sounded like was a chipmunk which I have never seen. I called a few numbers and finally found Steve from Tex's Roundup. He came out that day and set up a humane trap. He was great following up and after two weeks with nothing I suggested we give up for now. I'm so happy to have found him. I won't freak out if I do have a rodent in the future, as now will have Steve to the rescue. read more

Something unknown fell into our fireplace through the chimney. It was making noise right above the fireplace flue closure so couldn't figure out what it was. We called terminex but the person apparently can't touch wildlife animal and he ended up referring us to Tex's. Steve showed up within an hour and pretty quickly figured out its a bird that's somehow got in from the chimney cap. He tried different things to get it out finally used his hands to reach in to get the bird out safely. The poor thing was in there for more than 24 hours. He saved the birds life and relieved us from the pain we suffered the whole time. Steve, you're the best! read more

I called Steve of Tex's Round Up at 8am on a skunk I needed removed. I left a VM, he returned my call in less than 1/2 hour i believe. He was at my property before 1pm, gracious and a joy to chat with. He wasted no time in removing the skunk (minor spraying, not too bad)! We chatted a bit more and he left me with a cool pen, magnet, and relief. Steve is a gentleman, and I'll call on him without hesitation. Cheers! read more

Steve is very patient and professional,A bat flys into my house,we can't find it,Steve came on time,caught it and let it fly away.

We had a squirrel family living in our attic uninvited when we moved into our new home. We contacted Tex's round up as it had great reviews and they did not disappoint. We caught 5 squirrels in total and now our attic is rodent free. He always came on time, communication was great, very knowledgeable about his subject and flexible with our schedule. We highly recommend him! read more

Tex's came highly recommended by a exacting homeowner friend who, like us, had some rodent issues. Our home abuts a 20k acre state park. As such, it is susceptible to all forms of potential destructive wildlife. Steve was professional, knowledgeable, and deeply experienced in all things critter related. He came out and inspected our property...attic to basement and provided a comprehensive diagnosis of all the issues, and a remediation plan. For a very reasonable price, Tex's eliminated all invaders and plugged their points of entry. I can recommend them without hesitation. read more

Steve picked up when we called at 5:55pm, bonus points! Came over to Alamo in 20mins and captured the rattlesnake in 2 seconds! And was kind enough to provide us with a quote to install a snake fence. It was around 6:50pm when Steve left. Would give more than 5 stars if we could! :) Thanks Steve! read more

Steve is very knowledgeable when it comes to wildlife and honest and reliable. He wants to help and that includes looking at all alternatives to resolve a problem. He's not into selling services you may not need. He considers each situation and recommends what's best; he's there to help! What a rarity! I texted and called Steve a number of times after hours, over the weekend and he responded right way and relieved my worries! I didn't know what to do and wasn't sure whether or not there was an animal in or around the crawl space of my home. He directed me on what to do, what to look for and what sounds to listen for in determining whether wildlife was there and although booked was ready to come out same day if needed. Steve besides resolving my problem, also provided me with recommendations on how to deter wildlife from my deck and preventative measures to deter wildlife from my backyard. Steve will be first and only person I call if I have questions or need assistance with wildlife in the future! read more

I have been pestered for several months with annoying sounds early in the morning over one of my bedrooms. The sounds were as if some creature was in the attic. Steve assured me that if it were a raccoon, as I had thought, it would not stay in just one location. That assessment seemed very reasonable. Steve spent considerable time on the roof inspecting all possible entry points that a raccoon could enter. He found none. Steve Then climbed partially in my attic to inspect to see if there was an opening any where in the roof. he found none. At any rate, I asked him to set a trap for the raccoon. He did so. After several days the trap was untouched. Therefore, I requested that he remove it since I decided with raccoons there were more pluses than minuses. We finally concluded that the sounds we were hearing were from Ravens and Owls, which we have plenty. I definitely would use Steve again if needed. read more

Steve replied promptly, was available quickly and was reasonably priced for a skunk removal. He was professional, friendly and communication was top notch. read more

Steve came out in less than 24 hours to retrieve a pet that had passed away under my house. He also replaced a missing vent cover so no other animals could get in. I appreciated his urgency, knowledge and compassion for the loss of my pet. read more

Recommend Steve and Tex's round up for rodent proofing your home. I was able to get my house rodent proofed within two weeks of an initial walkthrough. Steve was great at explaining entry points and the work he was performing. Great value and great service! read more

We used Steve (aka 'Tex' from Tex's Round Up :) to rodent proof our home. He is very knowledgeable and experienced with the behaviors of the various pests and how best to thwart them. Steve checked out our home from top (exterior roof and attic) to bottom (crawlspace), took pictures of problem areas and sent us an email with his recommended treatment plan along with pricing. He does not use poison which protects the local wildlife from collateral damage. Steve is very personable and his down home, low pressure approach makes working with him a pleasure. He will be the first one we call should we have any pest problems in the future. read more

I found a rodent nest in the back of my yard. There's a tall bush next to the fence and I saw a few rodents jump from the fence into the tree one evening, eventually found the nest. I called so many pest control numbers and even the county. Nobody would help me because they were not in my house. Thankfully Steve responded super quick and showed up the same day to take care of it for me. So grateful!! read more

Steve at Tex's Round Up is a great guy delivering great service. He handled our raccoon problem promptly, was very responsive to our text messages and phone calls, and returned to the house when needed to re-bait the trap and then to cart our unwanted guests away (with kindness). I would absolutely call on him again if we encounter another animal control problem. read more

Called Steve this morning about a snake in our garage. He answered the call right away & was able to come over to our house within 1 hr of my call to remove the snake. Steve is professional & courteous. We are so glad & thankful that he was able to resolve our snake issue promptly. Thank you, Steve. JC in Oakley, Ca read more

Steve was the best! First, he was available at my initial call. He listened to my problem and offered to come within 30-40 minutes. Next, he showed up at the time he quoted which is always appreciated. He confirmed my suspicions of a squirrel in my chimney and offered 2 solutions. Since this was the first time anything like this had happened, I totally leaned on his opinion and recommendation to get little "rocky" out of that tight space. Needless to say because the 5-stars should suffice, Steve got the job done! He was friendly, prompt and effective! read more

Tex's Round Up Steve Drummer I recently arranged for Steve to remove wild life from under and around our home. It was a very positive experience. Steve caught several opossums and Raccoons. He was always quick to return to our home to either rebate trap or collect the animal so it was not caged for a long time. He was knowledgeable in his field and I felt protected that he tests animals after trapping to be sure they were healthy. Steve was Always on time even covered week ends. He was very courteous and polite. We would definitely use his services again. read more

Steve (Tex) was extremely friendly and professional. He did great work for the service requested. Fantastic value!

Great guy providing a great service. Makes sure to go above and betond Ti treat the problem

We thought we had a raccoon under our house and because Animal Control doesn't deal with that we gave Tex's Round Up a try. I was really impressed with how helpful Steve was and how humanely he treats animals. Steve was super helpful in setting up the traps and came right right away when a cat ended up in the trap! When I explained we have several outdoor cats in the area, he very patiently showed me how to open up the trap in case another one got in the trap. (The traps don't hurt the animals in any way; they are just set to have the door close when an animal goes into it.) He also explained that once a cat has been in the trap, it knows not to go back. Sure enough a different cat got trapped the next day and we were able to free it ourselves. The next day a raccoon was trapped! Steve had told us to carry the trap into the shade so the animal wouldn't get overheated, and he came right over to take it away. That must have been our animal, because we haven't heard any animal sounds since! We will definitely ask Steve to come back if we ever have other animals under our house. read more

Called Tex's Round Up about a month ago due to squirrels under our solar panels on our roof. The panels do have wire around them but they got under somehow anyway. Steve came out same day and set up two live catch traps at ground level, which we place at the squirrels known routes. We caught our first squirrel within hours. Over the 30 days caught 7 squirrels and so far don't hear any scampering on the roof. Every time a squirrel was caught Steve came out same day to remove and reset the trap. He was very responsive and professional, along with I found the rates completely fair, especially as he is dealing with live wild life. Don't hesitate to contact him if you have any wild life problems on your property. read more

Steve gets 5 starts for his excellent communication and prompt service. I thought this was gonna be a long process but he was in contact with me immediately and came out right away to help. We will use him again if we get another critter! Thanks Tex! read more

Steve was friendly, knowledgeable and prompt. I felt bad bugging him on a weekend but not only did he return my call within 5 minutes but even came out on a weekend to setup traps! Will definitely use him again if the need arises. read more

We had a VERY unusual animal intruder move into a boat at our dock! We could not find out exactly what or where it was. We tried to catch him in traps using different bait with no luck. We were very frustrated when we called Steve. Steve cleverly set up a game camera to determine WHAT it was. It was a beautiful but elusive MINK. He was finally successful in trapping it. Thank you Steve! read more

Great experience. Steve continues to help with our ongoing rat problem. He is very responsive, doesn't try to upsell and is dependable. Would 10/10 recommend. read more

Steve is my hero and the hero of a fawn caught in my backyard fence. Watch Steve in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=877sqYY9ipI For one hour I was contacting animal care advocates. All I got was "leave your number" replies or live people referring me to other people. No one to actually rescue an animal in distress. When I got Steve on the phone, he understood the situation, said he would drop everything and be here in 30 minutes to dislodge the fawn. A happy ending. https://youtu.be/wlW4lYpcGrI read more

Steve helped us catch three pesky squirrels that were digging up our yard. He uses humane traps and came over right away when I told him that a squirrel was in the trap. Would definitely recommend! read more

He does a fantastic job! I've had 2 separate problems one with bats and a rat and he came in to save the day on the same day I called. Very reliable and comes on time. If you need someone to help get rodents out he's your guy! For sure have him in my contacts when something else decides to stir up trouble. read more

Discovering you have an opossum in your house very late at night is not something we ever thought would happen to us....but it did! After calling our local animal control and any other wildlife agency we could think of we desperately started calling private pest control companies. I left messages at at least 6 places begging for help. Steve Dummer from Tex's Round Up was the only one who returned my call. Not only did he respond, he arrived within 30 minutes and calmed us down. He promptly trapped the opossum and was as professional and as nice as can be. We are SO grateful we found him, and that he was able to rescue us from what was a very scary experience! I would ABSOLUTELY hire him again. read more

Responsive, quick. Steve at Tex's Roundup was very professional. Steve made recommendation, checked and found some small openings, and closed a big opening the builder had left. Satisfied. read more

I called Tex's round up and soon I explain to him problem I had he was able to schedule his visit for very next day and show up right on time so definitely I am calling him again if I ever need again, honestly he's doing great job for sure. Thank you Steve appreciate it very much read more

Tex (Steve)was great! Super efficient, quick, and personable! He ended up having to come out a few times because the previous guy did a less than stellar job sealing an entry point, so he took all the previous sealant off and re-did the whole thing. I would definitely call again. read more

Steve, "Tex", is a very conscientious professional. He knows his trapping. We had a problem with a rabbits eating my new lawn. Steve set his traps and bait with success in three days. We continued the traps in hopes to get rabbit number two. Steve continued to monitor the traps and rebait them he even came to remove an animal on Christmas Day! I would definitely recommend him and hire him again. read more

My wife and I were worried that we might have a Raccoon under our house. We knew Animal Control couldn't help and most other places only helped up to the size of a rat. We got a hold of Steve he was on site the same day and got us set up to catch the Racoon and seal up the vent it entered from. Service was great and were so glad we called. Thanks Steve! read more

A bird family (or two) had taken up residence in my attic, having accessed it via old and damaged vent screens. I did not want to deal with the 'big name' firms due to poor reviews from my neighbors, and the fact that they all want to pressure you into a contract for ongoing services. Found Steve (Tex) on Next Door; he was highly recommended by a number of posters. Rang him up, discussed problem, and set up an appointment. Steve is an anomaly, as he is a contractor that actually shows up right on time, tells you what he wants to accomplish, how he is going to accomplish it, and goes to work! He inspected the attic interior, and house perimeter, and set up a diversion for the birds, so they could not get back into the attic. He told me to watch for activity, and report anything to him, and said he would re-contact me in three days if he did not hear from me in the meantime. True to that word, he texted me, and we agreed that he would return and seal up the vent openings with new screens. Again, on time, screening installed, problem solved! Steve is not only a keen businessman, but he is a really personable, interesting guy, who is conversant on many subjects. Other than him being a fan of the Dallas Cowboys, I really liked him!! (JK!!!) If you have critter problems, he is your guy!! read more

I called Tex's Roundup (925-621-0367) to investigate scratching noises in our attic area. I was pleased with how quickly Tex came by to analyze our situation, and VERY pleased with his follow-through service, setting traps in potential areas and returning to check the traps. I would definitely call Tex again if needed, and I heartily recommend him to others. Tex really gets the job done. He is professional, on-time, courteous, knowledgeable, and effective. I learned of his service from a Nextdoor post in which he offered good advice to a homeowner who had posted a varmint question with picture. Another bonus: Tex arrived in a generic pickup truck, so his service is discreet as well as comprehensive. read more
