All About Armadillos
Armadillos are known for their unique armored shell. When threatened, an armadillo will jump straight up in the air or it may also fall on it's side and curl up in a ball.
Armadillos are prolific diggers and use their sharp claws for digging dens for food such as grubs. They will cause the homeowner problems by digging or burrowing in the lawn or garden to find the grubs.

One idea is to place wood barriers on either side, baiting the trap with our recommended armadillo baits. Once caught, transport the armadillo at least two miles away. Remember to check with your local or state game commission for regulations concerning relocating animals.
Armadillo Exclusion
Fencing or barriers may exclude armadillos under certain conditions. A fence slanted outward at a 40 degree angle, with a portion buried, can be effective.
