Armadillos dig for all of their food. That is why people with armadillos on their property experience so many
holes in their lawns and landscaping. They sniff around the ground until they detect worms or grubs, and then
they quickly dig with their sharp claws. They can really make a mess of a yard, and that's when you need armadillo trapping.
Go from this.....
....to this!
Because they dig for all of their food, there is no good bait for them. Some people try to use different types of baits, but baits don't work. The real key to catching armadillos is in the trap setup. Traps must be set in the proper location and manner so that armadillos will simply walk in. This involves an extensive knowledge of armadillo behavior and movement patterns, and also usually involves a trap setup involving elaborate fences or barriers. I've seen many people wondering how to catch armadillos, and I see that their trap setups are all wrong. Some professional trappers do in fact use baits, (examples include earthworms hung in a nylon stocking) but the only reason they are catching armadillos is because they are also setting the traps in an effective manner. No bait works.
Some people have asked me, "can't I kill the grubs in my lawn to get rid of armadillos?". You can in fact kill some grub species, but the truth is that the majority of an armadillo's diet is comprised of earthworms, so killing the grubs alone will not eliminate the food source entirely, and it won't stop the digging. If you want the digging to stop, you've either got to fence your entire yard (and install the fence deep into the ground) or have the armadillos removed from the property.
