Armadillo Removal

Professional armadillo trapping and yard restoration services.

Armadillos have expanded their range into Northeast Georgia and are becoming an increasingly common nuisance. These nocturnal diggers tear up lawns, flower beds, and garden areas searching for grubs and insects. Their burrows can undermine walkways, driveways, and foundations.

Tyler uses strategically placed live traps along armadillo travel routes for effective capture. Unlike many animals, armadillos follow predictable pathways — Tyler's experience with their behavior patterns means faster, more successful trapping.

Complete armadillo removal includes identification of active burrows and travel routes, strategic live trap placement, safe relocation, burrow filling and yard repair, and recommendations for reducing grub populations that attract armadillos.

Armadillo Removal FAQ

Why are armadillos digging up my yard?

Armadillos are insectivores — they're digging for grubs, earthworms, and beetle larvae in your soil. A healthy grub population means persistent armadillo activity.

Can armadillos damage my foundation?

Yes. Armadillo burrows near foundations can channel water toward the structure and create voids that cause settling. Multiple burrows compound the risk.

Are armadillos dangerous?

Armadillos are not aggressive but should not be handled. They are the only animal besides humans known to carry leprosy (Hansen's disease), though transmission risk is extremely low.

How do I keep armadillos away permanently?

Reducing grub populations through lawn treatment makes your property less attractive. Tyler can also install buried barriers around garden beds and foundation perimeters.
