Uncover the allure for armadillos in your yard! Share insights, deterrents, and strategies to keep these critters at bay.
I’ve read that armadillos come sniffing around for insects and larvae. My compost is teaming with worms; could that be why they’re digging up my garden? 
Absolutely! Armadillos are insectivores and love chowing down on all that rich, buggy compost.
And don’t forget your mulch beds. They’re like armadillo fast-food joints!
Oh…thank you for your kind tip.These armadillos are really disturbing!
I think they prefer loose soil, too. Makes it easier for their snouts to dig through.
They also like to eat grubs, take the grubs out and you’ll see fewer armadillos. Good luck to you!
I heard they like brush and wood piles. Maybe that’s why they’ve made a home near my shed?
Armadillos they like brush and wood piles? It seems that more evidence needs to be found 
Anyone think watering your lawn might attract them? I think I’ve seen more after I started my new watering routine.
Wet soil = Easy digging. So, yes, regular watering can definitely be a factor.
My experience says it’s not the water, but what the water brings to the surface. Worms and larvae come up, and that’s what they’re after.
More grubs lead to more armadillos. Grubs, ants, termites—you name it, if it’s in your yard, the armadillos are coming for it.
Are insect repellents a solution? I’ve read that a yard with fewer bugs may be less appealing to armadillos.
I’ve tried repellent. It seems to be working. 
I think it worked to a certain extent. They use sound waves that armadillos hate to repel them.
That’s great. I’m an environmentalist. Perhaps you could try a more natural approach, such as introducing nematodes that eat insects.
I’ve only seen armadillos at night. Are they nocturnal, and does that affect when they come around?
They are indeed nocturnal. Keeping the yard well-lit at night made a difference for me.You could try motion-activated lights. They’ll scare them awayhaha
Tried motion lights. Sometimes it seems to deter them, sometimes not. It’s hit or miss.
