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.
Everyone on the staff was wonderful. They were courteous and dependable. The treatments were effective and safe for our pets. We appreciate how open they are to improvement. I will be recommending them to family and friends.
We had an amazing visit from the specialist. He was prompt and was there when he said he would be. The original concern was spiders inside the house, but he also inspected the kids' play set outside when we said we had seen some bees. As it turns out, they were carpenter bees and were drawn to the wood. He also threw away a few pieces of trash that he came across while he was working. That really impressed us because it was beyond his scope of work. We appreciated how considerate he was. We've already noticed a decrease in bug activity. Thank you so much!
We have some bees issues last Fall, but our technician totally eradicated our problem. I was doubtful at first, but Presto-X and our technician have proven my misconception otherwise!
I called Presto-X today and they provided me with same-day service. The techncian did an intesive job.
