Armadillo Solutions

Background

Body Length: 15-17 in. Tail: 14-16 in. Weight: 8-17 lbs. The Nine-banded Armadillo is a cat-sized, armored, insect-eating mammal. Similar in form to an anteater, the bony, scaled shell of the armadillo protects it from attacks by predators. Unfortunately, armadillos often fall victim to automobiles and are frequently found dead on roadsides.

Although breeding occurs in July, the embryo remains in a dormant state until November. Four young are born in a burrow in March. All four young, always of the same sex, are identical quadruplets and developed from the same egg. They even share a single placenta while in the womb. Armadillos are the only mammals in which multiple young forms from a single egg with any regularity.
 
Damage:
Armadillos are prolific diggers. They dig many burrows, as well as dig for food. Many other wildlife species use and benefit from abandoned armadillo burrows. Driven by its appetite for grubs and other insects, they can cause serious damage to lawns or landscaping. The armadillo eats insects and other invertebrates. They are skilled at digging for grubs and occasionally eat berries and bird eggs.
Disease:
The armadillo is the only animal, aside from humans, known to carry leprosy.
 
Trapping and Removal is usually the best solution to these problems.
