Armadillo Removal & Trapping

 

Armadillo Removal

The very first thing you notice about armadillos is their weird-looking nature, and maybe you wonder Are Amradillo’s Dangerous. These creatures have a slender head with a long nose and an armor-like shell that covers their entire body. Armadillos are the only mammals on earth with a protective shell. These mammals are closely related to anteaters and sloths, but they have adapted to living in the suburbs and have become quite the nuisance wildlife. Armadillos are known for their excellent digging abilities and nature has endowed them with strongly curved claws and peg-like teeth for this task. We specialize in armadillo removal and control services.

Why you need armadillo trapping now!

The nine-banded armadillo can be very serious nuisance wildlife to deal with. As nocturnal animals, armadillos will come out to forage all through the night and rest in their burrows during the day. Armadillos will sleep for about 16 to 20 hours in a day, and will feed on tiny insects, worms, larvae, and underground grubs, this is what motivates them to dig relentlessly. 

To find their meal, armadillos will tunnel 10 to 20 feet into the ground. Each tunnel can be as wide as 4 to 24 feet. With their notorious digging habits, armadillos can ruin a beautiful landscape or cause structural damage if their tunnels are located very close to the foundation of a building. Armadillos do not just dig one tunnel and live there; they continue to make tunnels in search of underground insects. 

They quickly move from one tunnel to another and in the process, they create a complex network of underground tunnels. This is why their underground activity can weaken the foundation of a building, destroy a lawn, sidewalk, or driveway. They can destroy gardens, shrubs, and trees. Only one armadillo can dig dozens of holes, creating lots of tunnels. Do you need armadillo removal or trapper services near Dallas?
