Armadillos are small, burrowing mammals best known for their armored shell and digging behavior. In areas like Florida, they are commonly found in yards, fields, and wooded areas where they search for insects such as grubs, ants, and beetles. While they are not aggressive, armadillos can cause significant property damage by digging shallow holes across lawns, damaging landscaping, and undermining foundations, sidewalks, and driveways. Their burrows can also create tripping hazards and weaken structures over time. Armadillos are mostly nocturnal and can be difficult to deter once they establish a feeding area. Because they reproduce quickly and are persistent diggers, professional trapping and removal is often the most effective way to eliminate armadillo problems and prevent ongoing damage.
