"Adcocks trapping does great work; The price is a bit steep I think but I had no problem paying it for the quality of the work that was done. I had Adcocks trapping come out almost 2 years ago now to seal my house against mice; I live in a home from 1963 and there were plenty of spots, some that I were not even aware of, for mice to get in. Adcock sent out an engineer I would have to say, as he went around my entire property documenting what needed to be sealed and presented that report to me. I then had the option to pay or not, no pressure, which I thought was excellent. With the amount of information they gave me, I could have tried to do it myself which I really appreciated. I decided to pay for the work and they came right out and sealed up the house real good. Ever since then, I have had ZERO mice. They gave me a 5 year warranty on the work they did. If I ever have any more pest issues, they will be the first ones I call."

"Pest technician effectively removed wasp nest from roof eave on two-story home. It was very pricy at $490, even compared to other estimates, but the technician was on site, and we wanted the nest gone."

"My initial consultation was great; the company rep was knowledgeable and thorough, and gave very practical advice about treating my home for pests. Also, this is a small, family-owned business and they're much more personal in their interactions with their customers than large pest control companies."

"There was a roach problem in the apartment building. I contacted Alleviation Pest about the problem. They were prompt to assess the problem. Through a series of sprays, due to the huge pest problem, there has been a significant decrease of the pest. I appreciate their promptness, professionalism and effectiveness. As a result, I'd recommend them and would use them again."

"After many years of insect free living in our Arlington home, suddenly small beetles appeared and although we tried on our own - they decided not to leave. After reading many reviews we decided on Alpha Pest Management. It was a great experience from start to finish. Mohamed is a real professional and thanks to him we are pest free - and know exactly who to call if we have any other problems in the future."

"The first 2 quarterly treatments went great. They were responsive, punctual and professional. I noticed immediate effects of their treatments. They came once between the 2 treatments when I informed them spotting of a cockroach. That, too, went well and I hadn't seen any cockroaches after that. The A ratings reflected those times of service. Close to the scheduling of the third quarterly treatment, I sent an e-mail to the service provider right before Thanksgiving via Angie's List email service letting them know spotting of a different breed of cockroach (perhaps the German type; the previous ones were Asians). I didn't hear from them after that which was odd. Usually, they were pretty good at responding to my e-mails. I forgot about that issue until the holidays were over and I still hadn't heard from the service provider. A couple of days ago, I called their numbers (both local and toll free) and both were no longer in service. This raised alarm bells. I also noticed on AL's webpage that this service provider was deficient in their contract with AL. As of today, I don't see this service provider listed on AL anymore. I lost half of my deal value since they still owe me 2 service treatments. I plan to call AL to find if there is any recourse to recover part of my purchase.

Updated on 3/23/2016,

After a few days of posting the above review and following up with Angie's List, I heard back from the provider and was able to schedule the third treatment per the contract. The technician who arrived was able to get the pest control application done quickly. I let him know that the contact phone number that was provided on Angie's List was no longer operational. It appeared they may have had some personnel changes that may have affected their lack of response to my earlier attempts to schedule an appointment. The technician promised that he would let the office management know of the communication issues and apologized for the inconvenience. I am revising my rating and giving the provider an overall B."

"Russ Pest Control is a fantastic company. They are very knowledgeable and I wouldn't hire anyone else to treat termites. It was nice that Kevin came out on a Sunday. He taught me a lot about termites that no one else taught me. Before you hire anyone to do pest control, I would call them first. You won't be disappointed."

FAQs for small animal pest control service projects in Washington, DC

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.
