Armadillos love to burrow and will gladly turn your yard into a scattered, lumpy mess of holes. Such destructive digging can ruin the aesthetics of your home’s exterior and damage critical underground pipes, cables, and structural foundations. To prevent such costly and unsightly activity, here are five ways to prevent armadillos from digging up your yard.
A few steps to protect your yard from an armadillo infestation include:
While all of the above-mentioned steps are effective for armadillo prevention, they do not guarantee permanent armadillo removal.
Although they appear harmless, armadillos can pose more dangers to your home and well-being than just a yard full of holes. Armadillos, like most animals, can get frightened and intimidated by your presence and may defensively attack you. If bitten or scratched by an armadillo, you could be at risk of contracting diseases like leprosy or rabies.
Therefore, it is best to keep a safe distance from the wild animal and contact professional armadillo removal experts to prevent them from digging up your yard.
It is extremely risky to attempt to remove armadillos from your yard on your own.
