Get rid of your Armadillo

[@hubertwhite3017]

The best way is to use a Remington 12 gauge, it doesn't matter if it's a single barrel, double barrel, pump or automatic, I use a double barrel and it works great, I've never had one to come back after the left barrel gets him.

[@NittyGritty420]

You can’t bait them.. I catch em all the time and the only thing that works is to figure out where they frequent and to funnel them into the trap. If you do bait your trap your more likely to catch a raccoon or a possum.

[@brodyruchtioutdoors9151]

A 223 and a green light works wonders for gettin diller

[@LindaBradley-yf8vp]

Quick question. Will the castrol oil hurt my plants ?

[@pestcemetery]

Smell is a powerful thing and often times it can lure critters in even if it's not something generally eat. Besides, Armadillos DO eat worms, maggots, grubs etc. Guess which one is often found in rotting fruit.....

[@HzG8rGrl]

Will the castor oil have bad effects on the other wild animals? Cause I like most of the ones we have, just not the dills.

[@gbuster129]

My cousin got rid of 25 the other night with a .22 and a spot light.

[@pestcemetery]

That'll do it too ;)

[@gbuster129]

James Steendam Thanks, but I use 00 buckshot at pretty close range. I find them easier to kill with this as they try to run. I tried to trap them but that never worked.

[@rickskiles822]

gbuster129 Is there a certain time at night when they come out ?

[@gbuster129]

Rick Skiles I shot my last one about 11:00 at night. Don't know if that will work in your area. I now have a Jack Russell and the armadillos have left my place. Jacks are diggers. Don't know if the smell of the Jack or his digging got rid of them, but they are no problem now.

[@screamer43]

Thanks so much! Absolutely didn't know that! I have used castor oil to control "moles" (very effectively, i might add), but never thought of it for this critter. "Tomcat", makes a 100% castor oil spray, that you attach to your hose, that is so easy and cheap to use. Well, time for another castor oil treatment!

[@desmirage]

we have armadillos in northern georgia these days.

[@mannymanano]

One website recommends putting worms in a mesh stocking as bait. The worm scent is released, since the stocking acts as vents. Since they don't eat fruit, I don't see where this maks sense. Why would they check out a fruit scent if they don't eat fruit. Worms and grubs are what they love. Of course I think the worms should be in some loose moist soil to keep the worms from dying from drying out.

[@dblaylock22]

It looks like the Whole Control product is unavailable. Any other similar product available?

i have a 35 pound female needs to be out of here b4 she haves babies...She was at my back door the other night i tried to scare her where she would rolled up into a ball, but all she did was run. She very Huge and fast i'am 6' 2"s and she stands on all 4's over half way up to my knees... I don't want to hurt her, there kinda on the endanger list. i just want her gone

They are not on any endangered list of any kind.

20 gauge does the trick too

[@gloriouspurpose_]

they're pests?

[@nickbrooks7171]

Do u guys have Armadillos in USA? im from Costa Rica and did not know u guys have! Do u guys kill them? bc they are in danger!

[@53toddk]

Armadillos are not an endangered species,,, in fact they are multiplying and extending their range from Argentina all the way up to Omaha, Nebraska, and from Virginia to New Mexico (east-west within the USA).

[@alanheadrick7997]

You are welcome to come and rescue the ones coming into my yard.

[@pestcemetery]

@HzG8rGrl if they forage in the soil it will

[@rayfl502]

They are slow, I put a 9 iron on one before.

[@53toddk]

When they are scared, they can run as fast as the average human over a short distance.

[@Haegan_Lee]

rayfl502 happy Gilmore swing?

[@theedrstrangelove]

Why would you want to get rid of one?

[@abc-wv4in]

I'm tender hearted toward animals, but armadillos dig up your yard and can be destructive to foundations, etc. Also it is possible for them to carry leprosy. I live in Georgia and am trying to make one leave my yard. They are not native to Georgia, are spreading, and are considered a pest here. Many get killed on roads. I hope it leaves as it's doing a LOT of digging in my lawn and I'm afraid it will go under my house. I don't want it killed but idk what to do.

[@careymitchell4731]

You obviously have not had them destroying your yard and flower beds. Idiot

[@pestcemetery]

It works very well on Armadillos and just about anything that roots in the soil... Moth balls, not so much

[@michaelkirchberg221]

So now Ive got.one under my concrete pad of tg he pool.pump towards under my house. What about filling it up with water, , how deep might it go?

[@stacyvogt7076]

We live in the country & in a mobile home. They seem to think that they should live under our home! We have tried to block where they come in under the landscaping timbers, but they just dig under the timber in a different spot. The only way for us to rid them is to shoot them. We have 2 acres of yard & the rest is our fields surrounding it. So we have 18.5 total acreage. Will they not come in the yard if we only treat the 2 acres? Can we just buy grubs & put it on them in a tray or something?

[@GeneralDutch]

Buy the grubs or dig some up... The whole control only works where they root in the soil...

[@GeneralDutch]

frustrating indeed...they don't even look that smart.

[@pestcemetery]

@xdx82 should'nt have any effect but as with anything--too much of it might not be great-use only as label suggests

[@pestcemetery]

It will only effect those who 'root' in the soil and and ingest it--even with that it only gives them diarrhea so nothing too bad.

[@GGGarrison]

A 20g is too much force. A 38spl would be more efficient. And a good flashlight.

[@XLB1987]

Glenn Garrison What the hell are you talking about. 12gauge works great on them. They don’t exactly explode unless your shotgun is shooting a HE grenade round.

[@catfish24]

I tried Caster oil now I got armadillos and armadillo shit everywhere.

[@mannymanano]

Okay thanks so much. I'll pass it on to my friend. One is actually destroying his drainage ditch.

[@pestcemetery]

Yes it would ;)

[@pestcemetery]

Big time

[@GeneralDutch]

You obviously don't own a home with a yard

[@426superbee4]

I finely learn how to catch a Armadillo with out bait! I think they do go by smell, if they can smell earth worms under ground. Make since to me.. OK Get a animal trap size of a racoon or a rabbit trap. Fine a burrow, Set the trap Over the Burrow, they will kept coming back to the burrow. Get some boards or blocks to make a V at the door, They will follow a house foundation or the board to the trap and go inside as the door close on them. To Me there too cute to kill them unless i ate it. Every thing on Earth has a purpose and plays a roll on Earth! So i turn them loose on pipelines or oil field locations. Any one ate Armadillo meat yet? or have a recipe for it? I heard they taste just like pork

[@XLB1987]

426 SUPER BEE brah. You want to be a leper?

[@426superbee4]

@@XLB1987 No! but the Mexicans here in Texas eats Armadillos and coons. That BBQ Coon meat looks pretty good! I never ate either one of them YET> 🤣 i seen a video on people eating a BBQ CAMEL YUCK. I hate lamb meat! Must less a CAMEL

[@SeaJay_Oceans]

Armadillos are cute, and killing god's creatures is very mean and evil. If the Armadillos are not stealing your car or running up your credit cards, it is not doing anything bad to you !!!

[@DeniJasmina]

SeaJay Oceans lol

[@themeraki4244]

They are running up my credit cards... It cost a lot trying to resod and fill all the holes...like 100 a week or so.

[@NittyGritty420]

They are super cute and nice but you don’t want them around your house they burrow and can cause damage to the foundation of your house. And that’s just as bad as stealing your car or running up your credit cards. I leave the raccoons and possums in my yard alone but when I trap armadillos I always relocate them.

[@hubertwhite3017]

Send me your telephone number and the next time I have to mow my grass I'll call you and you can come fill all these holes in my yard, I start mowing early.

[@SeaJay_Oceans]

@@hubertwhite3017 Well, you have to ask yourself WHY are their holes in your yard ? Do you have an insect infestation ? Do you have a grub or worm infestation ? Armadillos go to where the food is - if you don't have a fence to keep random critters out of your yard, it's a buffet table. We used milky spore to touch up the lawn. It doesn't harm the grass, but helps prevent infestation of too many grubs. If you have fruit trees, you wil have to be busy picking up any rotting fruits, which will bring bugs, which will bring critters that eat bugs, which can bring birds of prey that eat small critters. Ah... the great circle of life ! If you don't enjoy it, I would recommend moving to a 9th floor Condominium. No lawn to mow, little noise from the street below...
