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.
My initial visit was not the best but their staff was so considerate, accommodating and very responsive. The technician that was sent afterwards changed my mind about their service. He was fabulous and addressed every area of worry. Thank you so much!
The representative who came by was very efficient, considerate and approachable. I will definitely recommend Presto-X to do any pest control needs.
My customer service experience, from phone assistance to service appointment, was great. Though there was a funny incident of miscommunication -- my mother-in-law chased away the field agent! There's nothing to worry though since she does it to me, too!
Today was the appointment for the initial treatment. The representative explained what they would do and did the job well! They even called me up later on to check on they initial effects of the treatment.
Presto-X came right on time with their door-to-door marketing because we were looking to finally sign up with a pest control company. They came out the next day and treated in and around my home. Four stars for now as I look forward to seeing the results.
Based on the first treatment alone, I can say that I am quite pleased and satisfied. Presto-X's rep was very methodical and thorough. On top of that, he answered all my questions and made sure all my concerns were addressed.
