Grub worms…
If the armadildos are tearing up the yard they’re digging for grubs. Take care of the grub worms and they dillos won’t have any reason to dig up the yard. Worked for us.
Before that it was R-P subsonic hollow points. 😁

It is personal when you have to repair all the holes they make in your lawn.

I killed my 24th one off my house 3.5 acres this morning. Big fugger. I have a couple of box traps that are scented with armadillo, they just walk in. Wait till about 9:00 AM and they go to sleep, set the ox up on the end, slide the door out and shoot them through the back. Easy peasy...re-set. Pictures are from a different 'dillo, just to illustrate. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/vh0TzWz.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/3a8H06s.jpg) Scent with armadillo???? What is that. I like the trap

Like Hanco, I'm interested in the trap. How is the trigger made? Dimensions of the box? Do the doors fall to the floor or past the floor?

Scent with armadillo???? What is that. I like the trap Catch one in the trap, transfer it to one that has not had an armadillo in it (you can buy them scented or not, The Armadillo Trap) put a hand full of dirt in the top hole and wet it down with a hose. Leave armadillo in for a couple of hours and it is now scented. They are expensive, but they work great. I bought the first one scented and have added several unscented and done the transfer myself. The trigger is just a stick with a short nail in it that hooks under and eye bolt. attached to the two doors, when the armadillo goes in he has to hit it and the doors drop. Some videos on the site I included.
