"Extremely impressed - I originally contacted him in December, and when he came over, he looked at the fireplace and told me that I could wait until after the winter to have it cleaned.  He could have simply done the work and taken the payment even though it didn't need to be done yet.  So I waited, and called this summer, scheduled a date, had to change the date, then I forgot on the second date.  His response? No problem. On the 3rd date that I scheduled, he was here early.  With a smile on his face, even though I had inconvenienced him and messed up his schedule the week before.  That's customer service that you rarely find today. I have been using this company for many years, and will continue!

"Lee was fantastic! I called him up on Monday to inquire about having our chimney swept. He was immediately warm and receptive on the phone, and offered an early morning appointment for today. He arrived promptly at our scheduled time, and took great care to keep our home clean while he made certain that our chimney was cleaned out, repaired, and in tip-top shape. We'll be certain to use "A Cheaper Chimney Sweeper" again in the future!

"Chris did an AMAZING job turning our bare fireplace into a beauty that burns gas logs. Chris inspected and swept the chimney, oiled and lubed the flue, tuck pointed and painted the fireplace, installed a gas line, and artfully placed white birch logs on black fire glass (all at an affordable price). The way the flames jump is incredible and if I didn’t know any better it would think it was a natural burning fire! Chris was knowledgeable, professional, communicative, and an overall great guy. Knowing Chris is the owner operator gave me the confidence to know he would get the job done right and take pride in his work."

FAQs for small animal pest control service projects in Detroit, MI

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.
