About
Please Note: Tex's Roundup does not work with Dogs, Cats, Gophers, Moles, and Voles. Thanks for your understanding!
Howdy! I’m Steve (or Tex) of Tex’s Round Up. I am passionate about animals. Serving all of Contra Costa and Alameda counties, I bring more than 15 years of experience serving the SF Bay Area, Phoenix, AZ, before bringing Tex's Roundup to the East Bay. Through hard work and a lot of hands-on experience, I have a knack for locating where critters enter and tend to live within your homes and businesses. I use no poison, with all of my work using humane and safe trapping methods. I pride myself on connecting with customers same day whenever possible and strike the right balance between people, property, and wildlife.
A call to Tex's Roundup will kickoff a timely inspection and evaluation at your location (generally within 24 hours, schedule pending) with costs starting at $240 and up (based on square footage of the property/home)
15% Off Initial Inspection + Evaluation for all Military and First Responders (with valid ID)
Have a very wonderful day, hope to speak with y’all soon! -- Tex (Steve)

Steve responded within minutes of my request for a quote. Even more impressive, he drove out on a Sunday evening to remove four bats that were hanging around my front door.
This was the first time I had ever dealt with bats, and I was very intimidated. Steve was calm, reassuring, and highly professional from the moment he arrived. I wasn't even sure how many bats were there, but he quickly assessed the situation and removed all four in less than five minutes.
I truly appreciated his prompt response, expertise, and professionalism. I'll definitely be keeping his card handy for any future critter issues and would highly recommend his services to anyone needing wildlife removal.

He is absolutely fantastic. I called on a Sunday afternoon and he removed the dead deer in my mom’s backyard same day. He is wonderful. Hopefully something like this does not happen again but he is the one to call.
I had trouble with bats and had contacted 4 other wildlife removal companies and they either didn’t answer their phone or get back to me when I left a message. Steve came out the same day and discussed options for my issue and came back and took care of it. No fuss no muss. I highly recommend him for any problems you have with critters on your property. He is a one man show and you don’t get bounced around from person to person. He is reliable and responsible and I will keep his number on speed dial for any future needs.
Details: Bats • Feces removal and cleanup • Sealing of entry or exit points • 1-2 animals • Animal waste • 3,000 - 4,000 sq ft • Owner

Great experience with Tex’s Round Up. He really looks out for his customers and doesn’t oversell unnecessary services. I had a bat issue in my attic and he was able to diagnose the issue. Will definitely recommend Steve!
