How to Solve an Armadillo Problem

10.01.2005 - How to Solve an Armadillo Problem? Well, first of all, identify the exact problem. Is the animal digging up the yard? The flower beds? Has it made a large burrow next to the house? Is it living under the porch? Is it driving your dogs wild at night? Now that you've got the problem identified, you can pursue an exact armadillo control strategy tailored to the individual needs and nuances of the circumstance. So for example, if the problem is digging in the yard or flower bed, I recommend trapping and removal to solve your armadillo problem. If it's burrowed next to the house, I recommend trapping and removal to solve your armadillo problem. If it's keeping you or your dogs awake at night, I recommend trapping and removal to solve your armadillo problem. Hmm… seems that there's only one solution for the vast majority of armadillo problems - trapping and removal. You see, there's no real good way to simply keep armadillos away. There's no deterrent spray or repellent powder that will do the trick. No ultrasonic sound machine will keep them at bay. Physical barriers are often good, but then again, armadillos will often just dig around them. So usually, the best way to solve the problem is to remove the offending critter from the area altogether.
