Armadillos: identification & armadillo control
Armadillos root through turf for grubs and dig burrows that undermine slabs and driveways. We trap the animal, collapse and exclude the burrow and treat the soil insects drawing them in.
How to identify armadillos
- What it looks like
- Armored gray mammal with bony plates, a long snout and strong digging claws.
- Size
- 8 to 17 pounds
- Where you'll find it
- Burrows under sheds, decks, slabs and along brushy fence lines.
Signs of armadillos in your home
- Shallow 1 to 3 inch cone diggings across the lawn
- 7 to 10 inch burrow openings
- Uprooted mulch and flower beds
