There are more of these killed on America's highways than one could count. Gigi, don't waste your $ on the trap, you won't be able to get the animal to enter the trap. repellents will not work. One thing that might work is to fail to water your property until everyone else's lawn is greener and more moist thus making it easier for them to root and find food elsewhere, but is that fair to the neighbors? Sorry, but the only effective way to get rid of one is to kill it. the biggest problem with that is the nocturnal nature of the animal. You pretty well have to stay up all night and shine a flashlight from time to time until it shows up. Really, pray about how to dispose of an Armadillo?

I have tried fox urine, dog hair and urine, mothballs, and countless other things to no avail. I was lucky enough to trap the inital armadillo but two weeks later another came and then another. They are ruining my landscaping and my lawn. It's driving me crazy. It is costing me money and wearing on my nerves. There has to be a solution to get rid of these pesky things!

If they do, they can pay taxes with the rest of us. Funny how the same people that rush to defend a mother's right to kill her baby also rush to defend the (non)rights of disease carrying rabid animals. Armadillos almost ruined my dad's home foundation last year and he had to consult with the game warden on a solution. The warden said to kill them on sight or suffer the consequences. Smart guy. An armadillo crosses into my territory and he's going to meet the business end of a .22 slug. Animals do not have rights according to the constitution.

I too have lots of plants and a garden. I have to agree with Paul on this matter. I currently have an armadillo problem. I have done a lot of research and spoken to a lot of family, friends and professionals about the matter before making a decision on how to remove it. I've given much thought and prayer to the matter and have come to the conclusion that I will buy a trap and release it in another location far away. Well.. I too have lots of plants and a garden.

With this in mind they have the ability to scratch domesticated animals as well as humans spreading disease. As long as they stay in the woods surrounding my home fine..let them eat away and nature run it's course but as with any other unwanted intruder likely to cause harm...trespassers will be shot.

Seriously, you would seriously just take a life becuz you are too lazy to go buy a fence, or just find ways to scare it away? Its not like it can harm you, just because a butterfly flies around you do you kill it, no becuz it can't harm you... If it was a bee or a wasp, something that actually bring you harm then there is valid reasoning. Wow!

It is about protecting what you have worked so hard for such as a large veggie garden that is growing and producing well until the armadillos invaded it. That, for me, is countless hours of labor and care not to mention money to grow my own food and they are destroying it! I don't enjoy or condone randomly killing wildlife but when my livelihood is being threatened, I will protect it! There are millions of these creatures due to their lack of natural predators. Killing one or two of them isn't going to decimate their numbers. But, it will save my natural food source. It isn’t all about taking a life.

Are you really that thoughtless that your little bit of inconvenience comes above another life (any living, feeling being). The world would be a much better place if we could all have some tolerance and make an effort to co-exist with each other and the creatures that have to live here too!
