PestNow brand was founded in Virginia in 1995 as Superior Pest Management when four high school friends came together to form their own company. Today, we have multiple locations in three states, and serve thousands of happy customers. We offer pest control; termite treatments and warranties; mosquito, flea & tick control; WDIs (real estate inspections); lawn fertilization & weed control; TAP insulation; and wildlife solutions for homeowners and businesses in the mid-Atlantic.
"PestNow was hired to inspect our house for termites. This was required by the lender of the family buying our house. PestNow found a pile of wood leaning up against a deck column they said needed repair due to termite damage. PestNow also required the entire house be treated. There were no termites found anywhere other than the pile of wood, according to PestNow. They quoted us for over $800 to treat the house. We questioned the need and amount so they lowered it to $580. As a result of PestNow stating they found termites in the deck column, the lender of the buyers required the deck column be repaired due to termite damage. The deck repair company assessed the deck column agreeing it needed to be repaired, but not due to termites, rather moisture. I question whether PestNow found termites at all. Their unethical tactics cost us well over $1,000. Beware of PestNow."

Make a chimney evaluation your top priority! Chesapeake Chimney & Co. can help you get your chimney in top shape. We take pride in being Calvert County's only certified chimney sweep. Get your chimney checked NOW to avoid a headache next winter. It's easy to forget about your chimney when it's warm outside. You've stopped using the fireplace and you rarely fire up the furnace. But don't put your chimney out of mind just yet. Almost all home heating systems - including furnaces, boilers and wood stoves - rely on chimneys to safely vent the exhaust they produce to the outside of your home. In fact, both the National Fire Protection Association and the Chimney Safety Institute of America recommend annual inspections for all chimneys-no matter how you heat your home. An annual chimney inspection can help eliminate fire and carbon monoxide hazards and protect your home from property loss due to deterioration or water damage
"Hired Chesapeake Chimney to clean my pellet stove and chimney. I went to use my pellet stove a few days later when it got cold enough to turn it on and it was inoperable and had not been reassembled correctly. Took over an hour to discover a disconnected wire and to put the panels back on properly. There was still dust and pellets throughout the stove and the glass wasn't even cleaned. I sent an email to the company and filled out a contact form through their website and they never acknowledged me. Won't be using this company again."

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.
