I spent 10 months in Texas and saw exactly one armadillo. It was roadkill at the side of the road. |

Thanks! I'm going to look into the traps. I'm also planning to put up a fence around my backyard eventually, not because of the armadillo, but it should help. I just don't want to be hurried by a hard-shelled critter with an attitude.

Have you ever seen an armodillo burrow? He'll go under any fence you put up. We chased and armodillo once and he started digging in to the ground. It was amazing, we eventually had to get a shovel to pull him out. Stay away from the claws. By the way, we let the armadillo go, we were just having fun ala Steve Erwin. My suggestion is to watch Caddy Shack before planning to get rid of varmits, you can get some good ideas from this show. |

There were raccoon recipes there too! Now there's something I'm sure I'll never try... Rabies anyone?

You're right and I am aware of that. You have to put the fence into the ground at least 6 inches (I'll probably make it a foot). That usually works although it isn't foolproof. Caddyshack ideas...

We have those fake owls at the college where I work and they don't work! The little critters knock them down and the groundkeepers find them in the brushes. They are probaly taking them to their hole in the ground and using them to scare humans away from their young. I believe the .22 approach is proper! |

gobs and gobs of greasy grimey gopher guts... I know how you can attract the squirrels to come to you so that you can capture them humanely. You climb up a tree and act like a nut

How about a Voyager Movie

Never chase and corner an armadillo in an attempt to capture it with a laundry basket! We attemted this in high school. That Joker made a primevil sound and jumped 5 feet off the ground! We turned from men to mice and fled the scene! :wacko:

Depending on what state/county you live in Gvok, there just might be a poison gas option available to you... Impulse, if you go the firearm route you might want to try a calibre a bit larger than a .22. A 30-06 ought to make the little bugger do a back flip and you don't have to worry about hitting it between the eyes...

As if it wasn't bad enough that I have the armadillo on my property, the neighbor's cat now seems to have made friends with it. I found the two roaming around my front bushes together last night when I was putting the trash out! Going the firearm route would mean I would have to be very sure which animal I would be shooting at in the dark.

No...there are still plenty of companies out there that specialize in pest control. I love DC squirrels!!! They are soooo cute. They are so used to the tourists running around, they will just walk right up to you and wait for a snack.

24, thats what the squral did. I remember a artist (painter) he dead now, my mom used to watch him he had a squarl as a pet. Even the birds are friendly to the tourists. Infact I have a picture of myself in front of the White House. It was so cool, I laughed at this idea. President Bush went to Virginia when I was coming Washington and left Virginia when I was headed back to Viginia. Call that craay but did the secret service know? |
