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.
I had a great experience with Active Pest Control. The office rep works around my schedule when sending a technician. He's been great. Even gave a $40 credit when a visit had to be rescheduled because of a problem with a company truck. The technician didn't rush through his inspection, was thorough, and addressed my concerns. He took down a number of wasps nests, treated the beetles found in the garage and ticks in the yard, put out bait for ants and traps for mice. He was very nice and said that I could contact them if there were any other problems. Looking forward to using them in the future.
It's been two years and we're very satisified. Spider activity has definitely decreased. The technician is wonderful and courteous, and even took care of a bees nest that was near the roof.
Good job as always guys! I love the company and the technician! As a local real estate professional, I highly recommend Active Pest Control for one's pest control needs!

The day I signed up for the contract was also the same they I had my first service. I had a great experience with my technician. He took time to explain the service treatment plan.
Our rep was really knowledgeable, gave superb customer service, and did an awesome job solving our pest problem.
Great service.
Active Pest Control's rep was very careful and concerned when doing out first treatment that he even showed me where he pu the cockroache bait so my dog wouldn't reach it. Overall an exceptional experience.
