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.

Getting Presto-X's service was a great investment. For the past eight years, we've had a recurring problem with ants in the mudroom in the summer and their service took care of that. What also impressed me was how quickly they responded when, on two separate occasions, I found hornets nest. The techs expertly removed them. Both instances were included in my quarterly plan, so I wasn't charged anything extra. I'm happy with this investment!
We've gone through a few services now and it's been amazing. All of the specialists have been experts, courteous and personable. We will absolutely refer them!
I do not regret signing up with Presto-X since we moved to our home. Our service technician has been to our home twice already, and he has done a great job for both times!
Our church is located in the inner city and we had mice issue in our pantry. I called Presto-X and the phone rep scheduled me for a free inspection. The tech did an inspection wtogether with the person I talked to over the phone. They were both approachable and professionals and explained to us the most effective way of solving our problem. We feel so blessed to encounter amazing people who are willing to resolve our problem.
I have a great experience with Presto-X. All their employees are very cordial and well-trained. They were very considerate of our worries and concerns, and they gave their best effort to resolve our pest issue.
I am posting this review on behalf of my Dad. He wants to express his gratitude for the Presto-X technician! He says he is the best person he had ever dealt with when it comes to pest control service. He was impressed with his courtesy and efficientcy! Highly commendable!
Not only are they always on time but always available. They delivered same-day service, and the rep on the phone was a joy to talk to. They even wore the right footwear when inside the house. Presto-X absolutely took care of our pest problem. I cannot recommend any pest control company better.
Our rep was on time, very knowledgeable--he explained the entire process in great detail--and so geuinely accommodating and concerned that I was happy with the service. Really grateful.
