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 decided to get service from Active Pest Control about a year ago. The regular visits are nice but being able to call whenever we have pests is even better, since problems change season by season. Even in the winter, we've had stink bugs and boxelder bugs. Sometimes mice looking for shelter. Active Pest Control has definitely been helpful. Our technician gave us wonderful service, has a great attitude, and returned on the same day when requested. He did so much more than we expected. A neighbor asked who we used for our pest control. We recommended Active Pest Control and they also signed up for service.
I felt so sorry that I kept the technician waiting, I'm glad that he's so patient. Despite my tardiness, he still treated my place inside and out.
The tech was very focused on the task. I got constant follow up calls to make sure if my pest issue is being resolved.
I have been with Active Pest Control and I had to ask someone to come out due to a new issue I was experiencing. He walked me through the process of treatment and taught me how to deal with them as well.
Thank you, Active Pest Control, for sending us a rep who has a great personality and delivers even greater service. We want him to always treat our home. Give him a bonus!
If only because of the wonderfully pleasant experience I have had with Active Pest Control, I really think they should be the industry standard for customer service and pest control. Thank you, Active Pest Control. Much appreciated.
On our first treatment, the Active Pest Control reps explained to us in painstaking detail the treatment process they would do, making us feel reassured and really taken care of, all while they were very polite to our entire family (pets included) throughout the whole service. We could not be any happier with Active Pest Control who left us a lasting first impression. Looking forward to more services from them.
The Active Pest Control rep was a real professional treating my home with my one-month old baby inside. Looking for pest control with top notch service? Active Pest Control is the obvious choice.
