 Have you ever awakened to find that your beautiful yard is covered in small holes like polo divots? Maybe you have noticed a grapefruit size hole in the corner of your home or deck? Chances are these holes were the work of an armored mammal known for its digging, the armadillo. Armadillo control and armadillo removal involves a non-native species that for the last fifty plus years has been taking over the south eastern United States. Armadillos have made their way north from Mexico into Texas and across the Gulf Coast into Florida. This animal is even adapting to colder climates previously out of its range. We have been seeing them recently move farther and farther north. Some blame global warming and some blame population size, either way, they have recently been found in places where they were never seen before.
 Armadillos like to dig. They dig to find grubs and other insects, and end up destroying lawns and expensive landscaping in the process. Another reason that armadillos dig is to create their den burrows. They tend to create these burrows underneath houses and sheds, often undermining the foundation. Armadillos sometimes can be identified by their odor, which is stronger when they become excited or alarmed. Additionally, armadillos can carry leptospirosis, Chagas' disease, and even the bacteria which cause human leprosy!
Armadillo control and armadillo removal can stop damage to lawns, especially newly cc, and well-irrigated landscapes. Eliminating them is a must! How to get rid of armadillos is really a two-step process. Trutech uses both armadillo control and armadillo removal techniques by trapping this digging pest from your yard. Armadillo control and armadillo removal are very difficult because this species rarely conforms to conventional trapping methods and their armored bodies destroy a normal humane trap in less than 24 hours.
