I have what i believe to be an armadillo burrow under my AC slab on the side of the house. Short of setting up a ground blind and sitting in it all night, how do I get rid of this thing?


Originally I saw signs of it rooting in the front flower beds. I set up a section of fencing to try to funnel it to a trap. Its been 5 days and no luck. Yesterday I noticed the burrow so I have a second trap at the entrance to there.

Anyone have tips on how to run him out of that hole? I dont want to use water and flood it since its under the house slab.

a chair, flash light, .22 and beer

another pro tip:

DO NOT RUN UP AND KICK THEM WITHOUT STEEL TOE BOOTS

that may be what it comes to. But siting and waiting when i have to work in the AM sucks.

Good looking out with the pro tip.

I baited some a while back for coons that were hanging out on my back deck. Caught 2 armadillos, 3 possum, and 2 coons....

Forget the boots. We used a Q-beam and aluminum baseball bats growing up.

To OP, only way I know to get them is to wait for them.

I'm using cage traps. Cant use a foot hold here, too many pets to worry about.

Guess i need to find a comfortable spot to wait.
