Attic Solutions is an animal control service that will remove any and all animals from your home. We specialize in the worst cases such as bat and raccoon infestation. We will work with your insurance to not only remove the animal but restore your attic to its original condition to prevent further infestation.

"It went very well. Ryan from Attic Solutions came out to meet me the day after I called, on the July 4th holiday no less, to investigate what I reported. After reviewing the situation in detail he explained that he could set out traps but due to the way the deck is oriented and open he would catch many animals from the neighborhood and it would not be cost effective. As such, he recommended that I seal off the deck area and use ammonia rags to deter the animals from using that area. After providing that assessment he said there would be no charge for the visit today which was a surprise. I would definitely recommend Ryan and will call him if I have any more issues in the future."

FAQs for small animal pest control service projects in Chicago, IL

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.
