Most Floridians are used to living among dangerous wildlife, so the presence of armadillos along county roads and in residential areas usually goes unnoticed. Although they may seem harmless in comparison to alligators or snakes, armadillos can pose a danger to your health and home. If armadillos are causing damage to your Mount Dora residence or commercial business, rely on the licensed experts at Critter Control® of Lake County for effective and humane armadillo removal services.
Dangers Posed by Armadillos
Armadillos are not aggressive, so most human encounters with these animals are uneventful as the critters will typically stand still and mind their own business or roll up into a ball to protect themselves. However, armadillos can still attack if they feel threatened. In such instances, their sharp claws and teeth can inflict painful injuries and also transmit potentially life-threatening diseases. In addition to rabies, armadillos are one of only three animals that are known to carry leprosy.
Because pets are more likely to interact with armadillos, they are also more susceptible to an attack, so for the safety of you and your loved ones, it is important to keep a safe distance from these animals and contact our professionals to remove them from your property.
Destruction Caused by Armadillos
In addition to potential health concerns, armadillos are also a danger to your property’s integrity. Armadillos are infamous for destroying lawns with wide and deep pits, which they make in search of food and shelter for their young. In fact, digging is ingrained in their biology, as armadillos’ long claws are the perfect tool to excavate large holes around your lawn. Armadillos can also burrow beneath residential properties and cause expensive damage to underground lines and foundational infrastructures.
Such destruction can be costly, so you should waste no time in attempting to remove armadillos on your own with DIY traps and other ineffective methods. Instead, contact our licensed and trained wildlife removal specialists to properly and permanently rid your property of invasive armadillos.
