When pests or termites move in, you want the ultimate weapon to take them out: Terminix, America’s leading provider of termite and pest control. It's no wonder more than 2.7 million customers trust us to protect their homes and families from the havoc that unwanted intruders can create. You can look to us for a wide range of services to protect your home top to bottom, inside and out: Insulation Service, Moisture Control Solutions, Rodent and Wildlife Service and more. We can even help you win the fight against the bite with our revolutionary Mosquito Service. Don’t trust your home to just anybody. Go big. Go strong. Go Terminix. Protector of home since 1927.

"Terminix was incapable of treating our rodent problem and has been dishonest in their dealings with me after agreeing to cancel my service and refund my money. My service was cancelled but I have yet to get a refund almost two months after being told I would. My wife and I got the exclusion service after hearing scurrying in our family room. We planned to be customers of Terminix for years and wanted a partner to protect our home since we live in a wooden area. In the months after signing our agreement in late June 2019, and paying the year in full, Terminix failed in doing anything to remedy the problem. They never caught a rodent or even officially diagnosed the problem. The scurrying in the family room got worse over time. I was very clear in describing where we were hearing the noises, yet the technician never set traps or showed any interest in the room where we actually had the problem. Traps were set in the basement and attic and they didn’t catch anything over the weeks and months they were set. Instead of changing course and trying something new the plan never changed. It got to the point where Terminix would show up for a follow-up, go into the attic for a couple minutes to check the traps (again nothing was ever caught), and then leave saying that we need to schedule another follow-up in a couple weeks and repeat this mindless and ineffective process. It was clear that the technician was not interested in doing the work to remedy the problem. We also had a couple experiences where the technician never showed up to a scheduled appointment. I lost faith in Terminix and spoke with Allan and Mark from the Worcester branch about the poor service. I was especially concerned about the fact that the problem was seemingly getting worse and the potentially health risks that could be posed to my pregnant wife. Mark agreed to cancel our service and issue us a refund when we spoke on 11/2/20. Allan called me the next day to confirm that our service would be cancelled, and we’d get a full refund, yet he wasn’t clear on the timeline. We got notice that our service was cancelled on 11/12/20. We have yet to receive a refund and multiple attempts to reach Mark and Allan for a status update were unsuccessful both through direct calls and multiple inquiries through customer service. We’re at the point now where we have to file a business complaint through the attorney general’s office. We ended up hiring a local pest removal company shortly after cutting ties with Terminix. There was an area outside in the back corner of the family room where mice could climb up and get into the soffits – Terminix never properly sealed the outside (I have pictures of what they did) or bothered to recheck even though this is where we were hearing the activity. The new company properly sealed the outside and wired traps in the soffit. Multiple mice were caught in the soffit traps over the next few days. Within a week the scurrying in the family room was completely gone. The fact that a new company was able to treat our problem so quickly speaks volumes to the completely ineffective service we got from Terminix – they didn’t live up to their end of the contract and now won’t return my calls regarding the status of my refund."

FAQs for small animal pest control service projects in Amherst, MA

Self-removal attempts using store-bought traps can cost $50, but require personal time investment and knowledge of proper handling techniques. While DIY methods might work for isolated cases, professionals bring expertise in identifying all entry points, implementing effective deterrents, and safely handling wildlife. 

Consider your comfort level with wildlife management and the potential health risks—armadillos can carry disease—before deciding between professional services or personal intervention.

Most homeowners see initial results within two to five days after professional trap placement, particularly with single-animal situations. However, multiple factors can extend this timeline, including the number of animals present, weather conditions affecting activity patterns, and the complexity of your property layout. 

Properties with established armadillo populations might require one to two weeks of active trapping. Discuss realistic timeframes with your wildlife specialist during the initial consultation to set appropriate expectations.

Filling and repairing burrows adds $75 to $110 per hole to your total project cost. While some comprehensive service packages include minor repairs, extensive landscape restoration requires a separate payment. 

These repair costs cover materials like topsoil, sod, or concrete patching compounds, plus the labor to properly restore the damaged areas. Before finalizing any service agreement, clarify exactly which repair services are included and which will incur additional charges.

While armadillos remain active throughout the year in many regions, scheduling removal during less busy seasons for wildlife control companies might secure slightly better rates. Fall and winter months often see reduced demand for these services, potentially offering more scheduling flexibility and competitive pricing. 

However, the most cost-effective approach is addressing armadillo issues promptly when first noticed, regardless of season, as delaying can lead to more extensive damage and higher ultimate costs.
