HELP !! Armadillos have arrived....

[drchris1024]

we now have armadillos in GA.-mad and they are making my pinestraw beds look like a small war zone..like little bitty land mines have gone off everywhere. . I put out some DECON but I have two cats and once the Decon got wet the cats are trying to eat it, soooooooo the cats are at the vet, kenneled for now. What can I do?????????

offer them a LONESTAR beer, they prefer bottles, but cans will work, and they must be COLD ( only older texans will understand)
Fried bologna is another favorite along with boiled eggs.

they made it up to north bama to, giving the ground hogs a run for their money.

your sort of limited on baits without taking out the rest of the animals,
lovk up all your pets and then bait the holes real well, but its only a temp solution, once one goes, another will not be far behind. fences buried down 8-12 inches helps with the diggin under.
good luck ,

get a .22 short.

They are fast but their eyesight is minimal. They are pretty easy to trap too.

Very easy to trap. If the cats are gone put down some gopher pellets, they work great for pigeons too.

Or you could borrow my dog. She takes care of them and bunnies. Leaves the legs behind for evidence.

When the .22 hits them, they'll jump straight up. They make really good targets, so you can improve your marksmanship!!!! However, they also kill rattlesnakes (or so I've heard).

Yea, I'm a damn good shot w/ my modded Ruger .22, but the dang things don't get in the yard until somewhere between 1am and 4:30am.

Bryan, I am getting my boys a Red Fox Lab, but that is not until the fall.

A patient just told me to put out a bunch of Double Bubble chewing gum, he said they eat so much so fast it stops up their innerds. So gunna try that tonight.

What kind of traps work?????

 

[whatabudro]

Just a live trap, no bait needed just put it where they are walking. It worked twice for me in Florida. I just put the trap at the end of the covert. then dumped them off at the construction site I was working at.
