Armadillo Removal

Armadillos are slow and skittish, but they’re anything but harmless – especially if you take pride in your landscaping. Late at night, armadillos hunt for grubs and insects beneath the soil. They’re natural diggers that can leave your yard full of holes. Beyond uprooting gardens, armadillos have also been known to burrow under patios and foundations, undermining structural stability. That’s why you should call your trusted local armadillo removal and trapping expert at the first sign of trouble.

What Are the Signs of Armadillos in Your Yard?

How do you know if it’s an armadillo tearing up your yard – or some other animal? If you pay close attention to the damage, you might notice some important clues. 

• Distinctive Burrows and Holes: Armadillos dig shallow holes in search of food, often leaving small, cone-shaped pits. They may also burrow under structures, creating larger tunnels that compromise structural integrity.
• Uneven Turf and Damaged Landscaping: If you’re noticing patches of uplifted soil, uprooted plants, or newly exposed roots, an armadillo may be rummaging beneath the surface.
• Nocturnal Activity: Armadillos are nocturnal, which means they’re active at night. Scratching sounds beneath decks or patios, or signs of fresh digging in the early morning, could indicate their presence.
• Muddy Tracks or Smudges: Look for small, rounded footprints with claws and smudges that track along fence lines or garden edges.

Are Armadillos Dangerous?

No, they’re not very dangerous to humans. After all, we’re talking about an animal that’s evolved to roll up in an armored ball and wait for predators to leave. Armadillos aren’t aggressive and don’t mean to cause trouble — they’re just hungry. Still, their presence can create a host of problems:

• Structural Damage: Persistent burrowing can weaken patios, driveways, and foundation areas, leading to costly repairs over time.
• Landscape Destruction: In a matter of days, armadillos can undo weeks of care and time spent in your gardens, lawns, and flowerbeds, leaving you with an unsightly mess and expensive replanting.
• Health Concerns: While uncommon, armadillos can carry certain diseases and parasites. Although extremely rare, armadillos are one of the few animals that transmit leprosy. Out of an abundance of caution, you should minimize contact with them and leave removal to the professionals.
• Attracting Other Wildlife: Untended burrows and disturbed soil conditions can encourage other unwelcome pests and wildlife to make themselves at home.
