Appearance - Armadillos are a unique looking creature and are typically not confused with other animals when seen in daylight. Armadillos have nine or ten horizontal bands that run down its bone casing for flexibility. They have short legs, and long claws for digging. The casing is a very hard and shiny to protect against predators. An armadillo normally runs the same size as a small dog or medium-sized house cat, between 10 to 18 pounds, and varies in shades of gray.
Behavior - Armadillo problems usually begin with burrows around your house, flowers in your garden that have been uprooted or munched on. Armadillos are insectivores, and they dig for food in addition to making homes. Armadillos can create around 10-15 burrows within a 10-acre piece of land which could cause damage to your property and housing foundation. These burrows are usually about 8 inches wide and can be up to 14 feet deep. Armadillos are typically nocturnal so seeing these signs occurring during the night might signify an armadillo problem.
Armadillos are looking to create burrows for safety and also to allow them to quickly move across your yard with ease--specifically underground. They also dig to find food as well which includes insects, worms, and grubs. While having Armadillos around may seem like a good way to fend off other pests, If your property allows for space and does not have a fence to keep them out, armadillos may take up residence where you do not want them.
If an armadillo problem is left untreated, you could risk the foundation of your property becoming compromised or cracked sidewalks and driveways from underlying burrows. An unnoticed burrow could lead to injury if accidentally stepped into. Armadillos are also possible carriers of Hansen’s Disease, otherwise known as Leprosy--although the risk of contracting the disease from an armadillo is minimal.
Awesome service! Technicians are always on time, friendly and experts at what they do, even when the pest problems change with the seasons. They get here quickly after I call in and they are great about following up. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to other people.
The visit couldn't have been better. Our technician worked professionally and was very detailed. Really courteous too. He showed us points of concern and suggestions to resolve them. Very satisfied!
I like that the tech was prompt and he gave me a call to let me know he was en route. He was very meticulous and answered all of my questions. Since they've been taking care of my home, I haven't seen any ants inside. When I saw some activity outside, they came out and took care of it. You couldn't ask for better service. I wholeheartedly recommend them.
I have the best technician!

Presto-X's reps are very informative, efficient, and reliable. They are just so pleasant and kind. What I really liked was how they scheduled follow ups both before and after services. Definitely recommend Presto-X.
No more pests since my initial service, thanks to Presto-X and their super kind and friendly reps.
