Fast, Effective Wildlife Control
Armadillos become a problem when they starting digging on your property. They will dig up your lawn looking for grubs, earthworms, and insects to eat. They build complex burrows for sleeping, nesting, and raising young. When these burrows extend under your house, driveway, or other structures, it can lead to significant problems!
Armadillos do not stay long in one burrow, but they leave pheromone trails other armadillos can follow. They can follow these trails to other burrows. One armadillo can create several burrows, and one burrow can be used by several armadillos.
If you’ve seen a burrow or damage on your property caused by one of these animals, it’s time to call the wildlife experts at Trutech to conduct a humane armadillo removal.

How to Identify Armadillos in the Yard
Signs an Armadillo
Armadillo holes are cone- or half-moon-shaped burrows that are typically 1–3 inches deep and 3–5 inches in diameter. They are often found in groups and can be up to 25 feet in diameter. Armadillo holes have loose, fluffy soil around the edges.
They also dig burrows big enough for them to crawl into sleep. The burrows resemble a levee system especially as they start to dig horizontally. These horizontal cavities lead to structural damage.
Dangers of Armadillo Holes
Armadillo digging can undermine the structural integrity of foundations, driveways, and sidewalks when the animals burrow under these areas. Their digging while foraging for food and burrowing may also increase the potential for topsoil erosion. Armadillos have been known to carry the bacteria responsible for causing leprosy, which may transfer to humans who come into physical contact with the creatures.

Frequently Asked Questions
Signs include multiple shallow holes, mounds of soil, uprooted plants, and burrow entrances.
Professionals use live cage traps placed along travel paths and near burrows, checked frequently for humane removal.
An armadillo stays in one burrow for only a few days at most. They leave scent trails for other armadillos to follow to safe places to live and eat.
If you have an armadillo problem, trapping that one armadillo will not solve the burrow issue. You need continuous protection to keep armadillos out of your yard. We apply a non-pesticide scent deterrent to keep armadillos away. Scent deterrents will not expel an armadillo, but they can help keep armadillos out of your yard. We apply the treatment monthly.
There is no registered deterrent or repellent that works at getting an armadillo to leave your property. There are scent repellents that will disrupt the pheromone trail that armadillos follow.
A scared armadillo usually jumps in the air to distract predators or runs away. When facing a human, it is not likely that the pest will bite. Armadillos have small, peg-like teeth that do not usually cause injury.
Because the pests are docile and frighten easily, armadillos are not dangerous to humans. However, these animals may cause problems by digging near foundations or damaging gardens. Residents with armadillo issues can call Trutech for safe pest removal.
Because of the danger of disease, homeowners should not try to dispose of dead armadillos on their own. As with any wild animal, handling these pests is safest with the proper equipment and training. Residents with concerns about armadillos can contact the wildlife experts at Trutech.
Burrowing animals are definitely attracted to old hollowed-out tree stumps. To determine the species an inspection would be needed, because multiple burrowing animals would be attracted to that area. Example. Armadillo, Raccoon, Skunk, etc. If you see areas around the tree stump or in your yard that have been dug up, the target animal may be Armadillos.
