"Animal Trackers contacted me right away. They came out within an hour of contacting me. They were helpful, friendly and efficient. They trapped the raccoon that had gotten in my attic and removed it immediately. I would definitely recommend them to anyone with an animal issue."

"Very well. Mr. Valdez is very sharp, very smart, very professional. He examined the hole, and told me that the squirrel had not chewed his way into the side of the house. Then he proceeded to seal up the hole. Afterwards, he gave me valuable information on pest control in general. I highly recommend."

"Last year had trouble with wasps after duct cleaning. Figured with cool weather, now was time to have it checked. Turns out had nest in VERY low crawl space which when removed filled 2 kitchen garbage bags! Due to waiting for smaller assistant, was here within 2 hrs. of my call. Rich was knowledgeable about preventing further incursions with a inexpensive stainless steel product to plug holes and "seal" spaces between the basement and aluminum siding. Also showed me ways to prevent box elder incursions."

"He arrived and did a visible inspection and began working. He treated everywhere needed. He returned at a later date to do a follow-up inspection and re-treated and saved our sofa!!  Things were "ALL CLEAR!" lol. The only advice I give to customers is to be a little understanding.   He seems to be a one man crew (good help is hard to find) but he does really good work. Have no reinfestation as of now.

"I thought I had squirrels in the wall,but when Ax came out he checked around the entire house and didn’t see any signs of squirrels coming in anywhere, however he did go in attic and stated it could be nice so he dropped poison packs and said I should stop hearing the sounds within a few days. He stated he will be back in a couple of weeks. They replied to my email and even though Josh said he couldn’t make it, he will see if he could get someone out, within a hour, Ax called me and came out and took care of the problem."

"I purchased the Angie's List deal for a cleaning and inspection. Scheduling was quick and easy. They were able to send someone out about 1 week after I called. The only small hiccup was that the provider was running behind schedule but they didn't call us to let us know. When we called, they were able to give us an ETA, and the technician arrived within the scheduling window. The work was done quickly and efficiently. The technician didn't try to up sell us on any costly repairs. I will use them again next year!"

"The experience went good. We haven’t had any more problems. We’ve been at home for 30 years and we just had some bugs. I don’t know how it happened but we just had couple of bed bugs. Now they’re gone. It’s a very clean home. We tried to take care of it ourselves but we just decided to have them in. He was accurate, thorough, said he would come back if needed and respected my home. My husband and I were pleased. I have not seen any more bugs."

FAQs for small animal pest control service projects in Riverside, IL

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.
