"We used Best Pest & Wildlife control to stop a bat from hanging on a wall outside our house.They inspected the attic for other bats but did not find any. They did say we have a rodent problem in attic and the attic needs to be cleaned and entry points on roof and other areas need to be closed.I accepted their bid and work commenced the next day. The first they did was to clean attic.It took 1 technician no more 2 hrs and the charge for this was $1700 and a sanitization fee of $216.At this point I thought the charge was outrageous. The technician then continued with the project. I called Kane, the same day , to discuss this on how I felt the charge was inflated. He told me I accepted and signed the contract and he could not adjust. I also got charged $199 for ectoparisite cleaning on area where bat perched.It took the technician a few minutes to spray agent on wall and wipe with a cloth. Again , I thought this charge was inflated. My issue is that the charges are too high. Too steep."

Since 1980, we have been protecting homes and investments from unwanted pest problems across Southern California. That means 41 years of experience! We service Orange, San Diego, Los Angeles, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties. Believe it or not, being an entrepreneur for Andy started at a very early age. Andy first became an entrepreneur at the tender age of 8 years old when he ran his own egg route in his neighborhood. Interestingly enough, his egg route was so successful that sometimes his mother borrowed money from Andy to pay the rent. During Andy's adolescent years, he met his wife Nancy in the 3rd grade and finally started dating her sophomore year of high school. Andy played football and basketball, while Nancy was head cheerleader. The high school sweethearts stayed together into college as Andy received a football scholarship from Stanford University. After graduation, Andy and Nancy headed back down to beautiful Southern California to start their own pest and termite control company, Bug Squad and POW! Exterminating, Inc. The company was established in 1980 and still going strong just like their marriage. That is what Bug Squad and POW! Exterminating is all about. We are a family operated company and your home is where our heart is.

"AMEN Pest Control has successfully controlled all of my pest problems by identifying the source of the problem and coming up with a treatment solution to keep pests under control. The rodents were because I had added an upper deck and changed the roof line. The trees were close enough to the house that tree rats were jumping onto my roof and burrowing into the attic. An ant colony caused the ant problem in my backyard. When we tented for termites, everyone in CA has to at one time or another, they included an ant treatment because they knew ants arrive to eat the termite carcasses. My mosquito problem was because of my pond and besides the added mosquito fish, they suggested a hanging mosquito repellent that controlled the mosquitos. AMEN Pest Control is the best!"

FAQs for small animal pest control service projects in Lake Forest, CA

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.
