One of these has tunnelled under my house and all of the sudden there’s probably a large wheelbarrow of dirt by the entrance to the hole. I read cayenne pepper may deter them. Wondering what those of you with experience did?

Put a surveillance camera out there, bluetoothed to the phone.
When he shows up give him some bird shot.

Good idea

Lights don’t typically bother them

I've been dumping used kitty litter in holes around the property. The camera shows every critter about comes up, takes a sniff, and never comes back. The possum looked disappointed. The armadillo didn't stay around long.

Motion detector light. Then sneak behind and grab by tail. Relocate.

That's exactly what I did. They left that night and never came back.


One shot is all it should take.

Well crap, now I’ve got to buy a cat to get rid of the armadillos.

I did take about 2 cups of Orthene and put it about a foot into the hole earlier hoping when it comes out it won’t come back. That is some horrible smelling stuff. Like a paper mill in a container.

That’s exactly why I don’t have cats. I’d rather have armadillos than smell that

No kidding. I can’t believe that grown men on this forum just admitted to having filthy cats in their home, along with their little turd boxes.

They’re not that hard to trap. Just get one of the rectangular live traps from tractor supply. Set it against the foundation of you house, stake a 2x6 on the opposite end of the door of the trap from the house slab, angle it away from the slab some, and when he comes walking around the house he walks along the board and into the trap. Seen it done many times. Like this:

Now Now, I ain’t gonna go that far as to bash their manhood over a kitty cat, I’m just sayin I can’t do it. My ex wife rescued her old azz cat from my strangle hold after he had an “accident” on our bed once. We never got along anyway. Me and the cat too. roflmao I just have a thing about pets and having to deal with their waste. I won’t do it. I refuse to do it and I don’t give a dam who’s asking me TO do it. It’s beneath me and it ain’t happening. That’s what yards and lawnmowers are for. Dogs. No cats.

Some of these ideas have been painful to read. Water hose, fill the hole with water, kill it when it comes up for air. Done it hundreds of times.
