As many have noticed or heard, the Stone Oak area is now dealing with these uninvited "guests." We've been in contact with the City of Round Rock. As these are feral, Animal Services will be of no help. The City Manager and Director of Community and Neighborhood Services are looking up all the information they have about a similar event in 2020. At the time, State and Federal wildlife contacts had been working with TSC for remediations, we are waiting on this information. We've also requested direct contact information from the City for Wilco counterparts in hopes of a program which places traps.
For the immediate term, the City has recommended the use of "Wild Hog Scram" repellant. Online reviews and posts show this works really well when applied liberally.
We'll post an update as we have more information.
3/31 UPDATE: We got contact info for the "Texas Hog Management @A&M" rep for our area, a USDA Trapper for Wilco, and TSC (quarry) today. These are two years old, hopefully still good. We'll burn up the phones on Monday. ... See MoreSee Less
Can the HOA put the Wild Hog Scram all around the water source and where they are getting into the Subdivision?
Mike Knapp is a professional trapper who lives in the area. Hire him to get the job done.
Any updates on actions/plans on this situation? The hogs have not been a nuisance in yards recently, they have ample food sources in the brush right now, due to the rainfall. However, if they are not dealt with, they will return when the ground dries up. I appreciate any updates.
Can a fence be put at their entry point? Or barb wire or razor wire?
Are you working with the owners of the Stone Quarry?
Curbside pickup request for larger limbs (under 10 feet in length) For larger limbs, residents can schedule a free curbside pickup through the City’s Online Service Request form or by calling 512-218-5540. Brush must be piled on the curb, with limbs no longer than 10 feet and not bundled. Do not place the brush in the public right-of-way — it is acceptable for the limbs to block sidewalks at this time. The fee for this service is expected to be waived at least through the end of February. Residents can use the form below to request this service.
Brush piles must have 5 feet of clearance on all sides and free from obstructions 15 feet tall (power lines and trees). Do not place brush piles within 5 feet of mail boxes, poles, trees, parked cars or the bulk trash pile. The brush pile may not exceed 15 feet in length. Failure to follow the guidelines will result in the resident being responsible for the removal.
Please note: Due to the amount of requests anticipated, curbside service may take up to several weeks after the request is made. However, the form should not be filled out until your limbs are ready for pickup.
