armadillos
« on: April 10, 2007, 05:25:03 PM »
I got one or two armadillos tearing up my lawn at night so I can't get a chance to shoot them.
bought a trap but what bait do i use in the trap, can some of you guys help me with ideas to
get rid of them. I know they are grub eaters but that is all i know  about them

How about going down to your local fishing bait store and buy a bunch of grubs. Put them in a bucket on your front lawn and sprinkle some rat poison on them. I think that would do it.

Don't poison them! With poison you can not control what other animals will eat the poisoned feed or the poisoned armadillo's.

harbor frieight (harborfreight.com) has a garden division, onestopgardens.com where they often have a wire cage live trap on sale. Around $20.- (plus ship). I have heard of shooting the armis... and I believe they go for insects... but in town, especially, you got to work it out. luck.
