A family of armadillos has taken up residence under my deck. How to be rid of them? - Sherwood

Try tossing a handful of mothballs underneath

Friend puts up a section of fence on either side leading to a cage trap. The armadillo just follow the fence line to the opening. He has been very successful with yhis

I feel you. They demolished our yard and neighboring yards last year. Like Crappie said if you can get them to funnel into a trap that will sometimes work. We ended up having to shoot them. Between my neighbors and us we killed about 10 last summer/fall. We used CCI Quiet subsonics. Not much louder than a pellet rifle. Everyone was pretty cool as they wanted them gone. But I live in a neighborhood with larger wooded lots.

My 22 mag or 204 Ruger lol. In town a ruger 177 cal air rifle shoots 1200 fps. I use the heaviest pellet i can find. A 22 cal air rifle shoots 1000 fps would i deal. Most run but not far. I have used it on skunks too.

Killed 15 summer before last, had my yard jacked up

Or find an Armadillo Hound.

Black mouth cur or Rhodesian Ridgeback?

Tough to tell in that pic but she's a little dog pound pitbull pup we got a few years back. She loves to chase and shake an armadillo or whatever other varmint she can find. Same coloration as a Blackmouth or Ridgeback.
