You’re probably wondering why in the world an armadillo is referred to as an opossum on the half shell. Well, the entire body of the armadillo, except for the underbelly, is covered with a boney shell. The flexible bony plates give this unusual mammal somewhat of a prehistoric appearance.Zoologists tell us that there are 20 different species of armadillo. Each of the 20 species has been categorized as a three, six or nine-banded armadillo. The bands indicate the number of boney plated segments common to each of the species. Humble Texas armadillos have nine bands, so they can really dig. The flexible boney plates allow armadillos to dig and burrow through the soil with surprising quickness and agility.

No, that armadillo isn’t digging up your landscaping just for fun. They’re hunting for small invertebrates, including worms, earth grubs, cockroaches, mole crickets, beetle larvae, army worms, termites, grasshoppers, yellow jackets, wasps, flies and ant larvae. Armadillos use their pig like snout and peg teeth to dig up 200 pounds of bugs and other critters each year. That’s why you have a hole dug in yard, tunnel in yard or burrow in mulch bed.

Over the counter repellants won’t help you get rid of an armadillo.

Armadillos do their dirty work at night, so folks usually find out that an armadillo has torn up their manicured lawn, vegetable garden, flower bed or expensive landscaping in the morning.

Armadillos aren’t likely to enter the first trap they come across. There just isn’t any kind of bait that would entice an armadillo to enter a trap. Armadillos are really simple minded creatures. The trap has to be precisely located so that the armadillo pretty much has no choice but to enter the trap. Even then, it will probably take more than one trap to get rid of that ornery armadillo. The traps must be pointed in the right direction and properly prepared.
