Armadillo Trapping and Control
Armadillos are very common in the Port Saint Lucie and can be nuisances to homeowners. They like loose soils like loamy or sandy soils. Yards and grassy open areas are home to numerous armadillo throughout Southern Florida. We often find them burrowing in lawns. We also see them under decks, patios, and porches. Commonly called dillo, they eats insects, like earthworms, grubs and others found in lawns. Your well manicured lawn is a buffet for them. If they burrow into your yard you will find a pile of dirt on your lawn near the opening.
They will dig up lawns and mulched landscaping areas to feed on the insects there. They can destroy landscaping very quickly and this can get costly. So call a wildlife expert as soon as you see evidence of them burrowing on your property.

Armadillo Removal FAQs
Removing an armadillo that has burrowed in your yard or under your house can be quite a problem. We must first evict the animal from its den, and then close up the hole so it can’t return. We set alive trap over the opening, so that it will be caged as it emerges. It will be released well away from your property so it won’t find its way back.
They are wild animals, and any wild animal should be treated with caution and respect, but the average armadillo is not a dangerous creature. They are capable of harming people with their strong claws if they are handled incorrectly, but in most cases they will run away when they feel that they are in danger.
For general health reasons, avoid contact with armadillos whenever possible. The risk is very low and most people who come into contact with armadillos are unlikely to get Hansen’s disease.
