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.
Have been first rate, always explaining what they put down and how it will affect the lawn.
Fantastic service!The company was very responsive and in a quick fashion. Their workers care about the job they are doing and make sure to take care of things the first time around. We can't thank you enough!
Our technician is amazing! Their whole team knows what they're doing and so well mannered. I'll be telling everyone about them.
We had a really awesome tech do work for us! Not only did he let me go on about our wasp problem, but he walked me through the treatment procedure and got rid of the nest. So appreciate their work!
I have been working with the young gentleman during the previous season. My technician was very polite and comprehensive. He has provided great service everytime he comes to our home. This new season, a new guy will be coming out and I hope to receive the same care as last season.
The rep is not only pleasant-looking, but he is extremely friendly and patient (even when I nag him all the time), and he does an excellent job getting rid of our pests. Can I please have him treat our home every time? ;)
Phenomenal rep! Can we please have him do our home all the time?
Money used to hire Presto-X is money well spent. We first found out about Presto-X from their door-to-door marketing. This is how they maximize sending back their reps in an area to re-treat some homes. Our reps took care of our wasps, carpenter bees, ants, and termites. I can tell they are really customer-oriented because of how much they respect our time and our property. Another thing I like about Presto-X and their service is how they come back out in between services for free; just call them. And if they can't do it after three calls, they can refund certain visits. And just being transparent, you are encouraged to write a review. By doing so, your rep gets a tip, and you get a chance to win a free visit. Best of all, their reps are clearly experts in their field and are obviously passionate and happy with what they do.
Thumbs up!
