Armadillo Control and Removal Services

Armadillos may look like curious little creatures with their armored shells and snuffling noses, but when they make their way into residential neighborhoods or commercial properties, they can become a serious nuisance. While not aggressive or dangerous in the traditional sense, their behavior and burrowing habits can cause widespread damage that leads to expensive repairs, potential safety hazards, and unwanted stress for property owners.

Why Armadillos Are a Problem for Property Owners

Armadillos may look harmless, but they can wreak havoc on both residential and commercial properties. From digging up lawns to undermining foundations, their presence leads to costly damage and safety risks.

1. Burrowing Near Foundations, Patios & Driveways

Armadillos dig extensive tunnels that often appear near:

  • Home foundations
  • Concrete slabs
  • Patios and decks
  • Commercial walkways or loading areas

These burrows can compromise structural integrity, cause cracks in concrete, and lead to uneven settling.

2. Lawn, Yard & Landscape Damage

In search of insects, armadillos dig shallow holes across:

  • Lawns
  • Flower beds
  • Golf courses and turf

These small cone-shaped holes (3–5 inches wide) can appear overnight and ruin curb appeal.

3. Irrigation & Utility Line Damage

While burrowing, armadillos may break:

  • Sprinkler systems
  • Water lines
  • Electrical or fiber optic cables
  • Drainage systems

This results in leaks, outages, and costly repairs.

4. Garden & Crop Destruction

Armadillos don’t eat plants, but their digging in:

  • Vegetable gardens
  • Nurseries
  • Farmland
    can destroy soil and uproot crops.

5. Inviting Secondary Pests

Burrows often attract:

  • Snakes
  • Skunks
  • Rats
  • Opossums

These animals may take over abandoned dens and multiply your pest problem.

6. Health Risks & Trip Hazards

Armadillos can carry:

  • Fleas and ticks
  • Leptospirosis
  • Hansen’s disease (rare)

Their burrows also pose trip hazards for pets, kids, and the elderly.

Common Signs of Armadillo Activity

Watch for:

  • Cone-shaped holes in lawns or mulch beds
  • Rooted-up sod or soil
  • Burrow entrances near foundations or trees
  • Rustling or digging noises at night
