Armadillos are common critters seen roaming around Florida grounds or on the side of the road as roadkill victims. Many perceive armadillos to be harmless animals; however, they can be a real threat to you and your Eustis property. Fortunately, if you spot armadillos in or around your home or business, the professionals at Critter Control® of Lake County are licensed and equipped to provide affordable and safe armadillo removal services in Eustis, Florida.
The Dangers of Armadillos
When spotted by predators or humans, armadillos tend to stay still or roll up into a ball to avoid confrontation. This remains true unless they feel an immediate threat, to which they may attack with their claws or bite. The transmission of rabies, leprosy, and/or other diseases can easily affect you should a family member or pet come in contact with an armadillo. The safest method in dealing with armadillos is to keep a safe distance and deter these critters away from your home with proper preventative measures.
Destructive Effects of Armadillos on Your Property
In addition to the spread of diseases, armadillos can also cause physical damage to your property. Armadillos can dig multiple 15-foot-deep dens in the grounds of residential yards as they search for food and a safe place to raise their young. Such deep underground burrowing can destroy your lawn, garden, and landscaping and significantly threaten the foundational infrastructure of your home.
