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.
Very pleased with their customer service because I have not encountered any issue since they started treating 6 months ago. There were a few times when I needed their follow up service, and they immediately sent someone to take care of it.
A technician arrived just a few hours after setting up the account. Thank you for quick service!
I was so impressed with the last two men that came to treat my house. I would definitely recommend them to everyone and anyone that is looking for their service. Actually, during the time they came, I told them that my daughter was in the hospital and I was apologetic because my house was so cluttered and messy. I was just suprised that when the same guy came for the second treatment, the first thing he asked about was my daughter and if she is doing better and out of the hospital. Very few people would express that kind of concern. So thank you, Presto-X for making sure that you employ wonderful people! I am so grateful for the guy that serviced my home. I am poor at remembering names, but you know who you are. Bless your heart and hope you touch more people!
The technician was fantastic! He was nice, knowledgeable, considerate and accomodating!
The Presto-X rep was so considerate that he even helped me with my project before leaving.
The rep who came out is a great asset to Presto-X. On our first treatment, he was very friendly and displayed extensive knowledge about his work. He even explained the treatment to me in painstaking detail.
I am only in my first year of using Presto-X, but I have already experienced premium customer service at its best. It is second nature of their reps to be so pleasant, reassuring, and informative.
The extremely polite and professional reps at Presto-X were very meticulous and did an exceptional job overall.
