"I set out a "have a heart" trap for a few groundhogs that had decided to make a den under our screened in porch. The idea was to catch and release these animals and seal up all the holes they keep digging under my house. I borrowed a trap from someone I work with and set up the night before. Checked the trap this morning and it was empty, approximately 30 min later my husband called saying instead of the groundhog family, we caught a skunk. I called all over to numerous places and companies within my city and outside as well; and the only responses I could get were "we dont do that", "we only deal with domestic animals, not wildlife" after several "No's" my husband text me this phone number and I gave it a call. Doug answered right away and said this was something he could easily take care of. He said he could either walk me through it or he could come by and either release the skunk on site or transport it somewhere else. He also said it would be $50 to do so which I thought was extremely reasonable since I have no experience with skunks nor do I ever intend to. Doug also gave me the option of calling one more number in Oak Ridge where I live and said it was worth a shot  and hopefully my tax dollars will pay for it. I called that number and they said they did not have a license do "deal with" wild animals so I decided to call Doug back and hire him. I called him around 12 noon at lunch to hire him and he got the job done by 1:48pm! Talk about fast service! He was extremely professional over the phone and via text, He was very punctual even earlier than what he originally stated, and he was very polite. I would most DEFINITELY hire him again and recommend him to all of my friends and family!

"We live right across from a small park in our subdivision.   Having critters decide to dig under our brick porch and take up residence in the crawlspace is not an unusual occurence.  You can take them away and there will always be more to take their place. This is the third time in five years we have needed Doug's help in removing the last intruders.

Doug came out and set two live traps, one in the front of the house and a second in the back.  The next morning, success!  An opossum in the front trap and a young male raccoon in the back trap.  He left traps in place for another five days and there were no other animals captured.

The holes were filled with wire and concrete.  Critters will have to find other places to dig next year!

"The All Creatures team was knowledgeable and professional. They responded quickly and were able to identify exactly what animal was causing the noise. Thankfully they took care of the issue without any work on my part. The price was communicated up front and didn't break the bank. I will definitely be using them again."

FAQs for small animal pest control service projects in Knoxville, TN

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.
