"I was very pleased with S and M Pest Services. They were quite professional, up front about all work to be performed and the cost of each tier of service. They minimize the use of harmful pesticides yet still manage to get the job done. We hired them for two properties that had different requirements, with one being much more difficult than the other. The more difficult job involved setting external and internal traps, some exterior masonry work, roof and chimney work, substantial external patching of woodpecker damage, and significant termite control. They far exceeded expectations on the more difficult property and I would not hesitate to recommend them. I rated them a B for price because this was the first time we've had to use this service."

"Used a $50 coupon from Angies list. Otherwise the fee would have been $399 which I felt was rather high for the service to remove only one species of ant. However, I have never used a professional exterminator for insects before, so I have no price comparison.
The young man who did the work was on time, conscientious in his work, and very professional in appearance and manner.
Overall he presented a very favorable company image.
He assured me that the chemical, Termidor SC, would not harm my pets in about an hour after application. There seemed to be no ill effects to the animals.
The contract stated that 21 days after application should be allowed for best results. As of this writing, it has been 41 days; and so far, there does not seem to be a sign of carpenter ants within the house, except for dead ones. We still have had small ants in the kitchen, but I understood the application was specific to carpenter ants only.

"We've been using Mark at Bugs R Us for years. The quality was great, to the point that we didn't need to spray every year. However, there is always a delay between calling and responsiveness, getting worse year by year, and this year despite several calls and emails never heard back."

"As of this date-3/31/2016, there have been no further complaints from the tenant residing in this residence.  The services noted above were completed as stated and have worked thus far.  

Mr. Ryan also perfomed a similar service in 10/04/2014 for another residence I own.  No evidence of any entry of rodents since that date.  He also returned on November 4, 2015 to examine the exterior periment and noted that there was no rodent activity found.  The current occupants have not found any evidence of mice/rodents within the interior since the initial service on this property was performed in 2014.

I highly recommend PestAgon Termite and Pest Services.  They respond immediately and perform the extermination services as indicated promptly and completely.  It is worth the cost of these sevices to keep rodents out of my property!!  Laying flypaper in the basement does not do the job.  It is the exterior of your home that needs to be addressed!!"

FAQs for small animal pest control service projects in Cambridge, 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.
