Yes, indeed. *It is known as "Clue". *Go into your local shops, and
ask "Do you have any Clue?" *They will soon sort you out, especially
in Texas.

I thought Texas was noted for a total lack of "Clue" ? But an awful lot of
underbridge dwellers.

Real cute, coming from a flakey Californian. I happen to know that
the Ukiah gardening group gets posters from Arizona, New Mexico, and
yes, Texas because you share some zones. Armadillos might not be a
problem in Ukiah--yet--but soon enough the little buggers will work
their way right into your backyard, and you'll be glad for the advice
I now seek.

I suppose if they are anything like badgers for going through fences, you will have to consider metal bars round the garden.

Back in the days when men were men, and the modern bunch of wimps
hadn't taken over, Texas had armadillos the size of small cars.

But I don't think that even the current dinky little ones will
reach the Ukraine.

unklbob,
You do understand don't you that the uk in this group stands for
United Kingdom and not Ukiah, California?

There is a whole world outside the USA!

I'm too zealous for that.

Many, many moons ago the Vikings discovered America.
Having far more sense than Columbus, they decided it
was not worth the effort and went home.

You need to tackle the problem at source, find where they are roosting
(check nearby monkey-puzzle trees, they love to make their nests high up
in those) and smash the eggs while they're sleeping.

Failing that, collect some jackalope droppings and spread them round
your sago palms, that should protect them.

Misfit may be right, but i would prefer to try a mix of bone walls and
CE.
Never heard about armadillos surviving that specific treatment...
Though dillos dont call me very often lately!
