What's the best way to trap Armadillos?
I have a live trap.
What bait is best?
Thanks in advance.

From what I have seen, they like the yellow lines.



Sorry, no help.
Just a smart-ass.

More important than bait is to guide the dilla to your trap. Use boards or something to make a "V" that funnels them to the live trap. Worms work as bait, they also love persimmons. Good luck.

Worked with a guy that had a dillo problem................ tried all sorts of things with no luck.

Finally. He got a bunch of wooden stakes and screw eyes, staked around the yard, screw eyes in the stakes about half of dillo height, ran mono through the eyes, into the house and tied to a pot on the kitchen counter....... went to bed...... woke up when the pot fell off the counter, went outside with light and 22....... bang flop..... went back to bed................. cleaned up all in the morning.....

^^^ this is the way I've done it using 2x6 or 2x8's^^^

get some plastic fence and funnel that diller to your trap about the only way to catch them.

Funnel it towards a live trap. I've had luck digging up some moist dirt, putting dirt in a panty hose and hang the panty hose in the trap

Is it the panty hose or the dirt?

Ha, I guess it depends on your source.

Try cinnamon applesauce as bait. The cheap WalMart variety has worked for me in the past. Placement of the trap is really important, too.

if you ever catch a diller in a live trap leave it in there tell it takes a dump or a piss dont kill it in the trap then put the trap in a garbage bag then you have a trap that will catch every diller that comes in your yard

I had three together in the yard awhile back mid morning, I have never seen more than one at a time. Mating season or something?

We hunt where there is kaolin....our dillas are almost solid white from digging in it.

the males will fight like dogs over a female in heat

This right here. Also a wooden box trap with carpet in the bottom to hold the 'Diller scent works well.

After you catch em, take a piece of rope and tie it tight around their middle and lay em down. You can pick em up later of you want. They won’t go no where.

when us boys would catch 2 and tie there tails together and have pulling matches . it did fling some dirt tell they got side buy side and run off

I sure don't know how, but I would like to know why..

who wants to catch a dillon and why???

who wants to catch a dillon and why???

they tear your yard up like a hog dose .digging holes looking for worms & bugs
