"These two young men rescued the reputation of a nationwide pest control service. Specifically, my former service was called out three times to handle a problem this year. On two occasions thy said they would need to get a contractor out to handle the problem, and a third that there was no problem. Result, dead raccoon stuck in the sub-floor and house with hundreds of flies. My previous company called Ratman Rodent Removal to handle a problem they created. In about two hours they had come, found the problem, and identified the intrusion location. The next morning bright and early they took care of all necessary repairs around the entire house. Fast, efficient, excellent service, friendly and professional sums up the quality of this company!"

"Christopher is by far the best in the business! He was extremely accommodating to my needs on time being of the essence with my situation! He is super professional, highly knowledgeable in all areas of his work including repairing the damage and helping with preventative measures to keep the little critter from coming back! He truly genuinely cares about the animals and does his best to relocate them in better surroundings, but he also cares about his clients and makes sure they are truly satisfied with his work! I was extremely impressed with Christopher and highly recommend him to anyone!"

"David was amazing. I was anxious about the rat(s) in my attic, but he put me at ease as soon as I met him. Before even giving me a quote, he jumped on the roof to check for all entry points, checked the attic (taking photos so I could see what he was talking about), and explained what needed to be done. He then gave me a quote that was significantly less than another company that had been recommended to me. Davidâ s a rock-star, a walking encyclopedia of pest knowledge. As a tech, he was super-responsive, reliable, honest, professional, efficient, courteous, and friendly. Came back repeatedly (always calling first) until the rats in my attic (all 12 of them) were trapped and removed. Work is guaranteed. 100% recommend Southern Wildlife without hesitation!"

FAQs for small animal pest control service projects in Lakeland, FL

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.
