While they aren’t typically aggressive toward humans, armadillos are still capable of considerable damage to your yard. If you are dealing with nuisance armadillos on your Texas property, here are some helpful armadillo removal tips to get rid of them.
How to Go About Armadillo Removal
-
Get Rid of Their Hiding Spots
Although they have a tough outer shell, armadillos still like a little extra coverage. Bushes, shrubs, and other debris in your yard could be the perfect shelter for an armadillo. Trim your bushes short and clear any fallen leaves or branches from the ground to keep them from getting cozy.
-
Remove Their Food Sources
Your yard could be an all-you-can-eat buffet for hungry armadillos. Typical garden insects, such as worms and termites, are an easy and delicious meal for an armadillo. While getting rid of all insects in your yard wouldn’t be productive, you could use insecticides to curb your yard’s bug population.Â
-
Install In-Ground Fencing
If removing the armadillo’s resources doesn’t do the trick, you may need to install a physical barrier. In-ground fences can deter digging armadillos from getting into your yard. If they see they can’t reach the food they’re trying to get, chances are they’ll move on to a different yard.Â
