"Lee is prompt and the cost to value is respectable. He doesn't charge until he traps the unwanted animal. He has suggestions to help keep them away, as long as you understand that keeping an unwanted animal away can't be done, unless the area is controllable. I have an area that can be controlled an another that is not controllable without taking measures that I don't want to. Overall great experience, I am going to still use his services starting in the spring of 2020."

"This is the third critter Lee has removed for us and, as always, he was responsive and quickly successful. He is an expert in his field and a professional with integrity. We don’t need him often but when we do we’re thankful we can call on him!"

"This was not a good experience.  The "$50 house call" advertised on the website, I found out only after the technician had arrived, applies only to a simple "get this snake out of my kitchen" call.  The charge for setting & baiting two live traps for a 5-day period was an outrageous $200 (one could purchase at least a half-dozen for that price), but it was just days before Easter & the problem needed to be resolved immediately.  In this instance, it wasn't even necessary for the technician to check the traps at all, as I walked right past them 2-3 times a day.  The squirrel seems to have gotten the not welcome message and left the immediate area; in any event, it was never caught or seen again.  The price for sealing the ridge-cap ends (less than an hour's work) was also outrageously high.  I would have to be truly desperate to ever again have anything to do with this outfit.

"I called primarily because we had'nt used the insert in a few years and had gotten a wasp's nest in the chimney which was removed when we had the roof redone.  I wanted to find out if a screen could be put on top to stop wasps from getting in.  After being told they had had a 1 and 1/2 hour drive to get to me they could'nt do anything  but put on a new cap for 400 to 500 dollars which would make it worth their while for the trip.  They did'nt do a cleaning and were here for about 20 minutes.  It was a special they were running for a cleaning and inspection.

FAQs for small animal pest control service projects in Louisville, KY

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.
