Armadillo problems
I noticed the other day someone mentioned trapping Armadillo. I would like to do that and relocate them to some other area. I have a couple Havahart traps but can't seem to get them to cooperate. Any ideas on what to use for bait. I have tried rotten fruit, old pieces of meat, and cat food as suggested on the Havahart web site. Also used a couple of boards to create a "funnel" effect. A couple weeks ago I put out some beneficial nematodes to take care of the grubs. All with no success. I can live with them in the grass but they are totally destroying the beds especially the newly established ones.

Shoot, the ones around here you can creep up to within a foot or two...just drop the trap right over it! And if you scare it bad enough, it will jump UP into the trap which might actually be helpful.

I can't shoot them here within the city limits plus I have only seen the
beast a couple times and when I went out the took off with considerable speed. Most of the damage occurs late at night or wee hours of the morning. Thanks anyway. "John T.

How did this Armadillo post turn into a netiquette thread???
I posted the Armadillo question about a week ago. Thanks to those who e-mailed me with their suggestions. I feel obligated to give some back. I did some digging around myself. (Pun intended) Biologists seemed to think they are not particularly pests, of course. They also suggested using worms in stocking as bait. This way, you can attract Armadillos with the sweet scent of worms without allowing worms to escape. I haven't tried it, but it came from an university web site. It also said Armadillos are NOT territorial. They move around. I haven't seen my guests for several days. The expert said trapping is only a very temporary solution, as other Armadillos may move in to the vacancy. The only known permanent solution is to have a physical barrier (fence) that go at least a foot INTO the ground. Good luck. "Red" wrote in message y.com...

Thanks, I was glad to see this get back on subject. I may try the worms.
Tried some raw fish last night and had them go all around but not into the trap. This is the first year I have had the problem so may be more related to the dry weather than anything else.
