I think an armadillo has made his burrow under my house. Advice?

I've noticed this hole under my house over the weekend with fresh little foraging holes nearby. I'm assuming it's an armadillo and really hoping it's not a possum .
When I was growing up, me and my mom used to drown them out with a water hose and shoot them but that was out in the country and may not be an option in my quaint little residential neighborhood.
Any other advice on what this may be living under my house and also getting rid of it?
Sorry I couldn't get a better picture of the burrow but it's under the concrete obviously:
UPDATE:
I'm debating on attempting to drown it out with a water hose. I don't think this is a good idea at all, but I can watch it all go down from the safety of my car..... I thought about getting a trap from the Parish and attempting to trap the thing and then calling a wildlife control service to come pick it up for relocation/disposal.
I just want whatever this is out from under my house.

My buddy was deployed to Iraq and his wife noticed a burrow like that. I caught 3 possums in a live trap under their house.

Set a trap right outside the hole. Get some boards and funnel them like a v down to the trap. They will walk right into the trap.

Armadillos are the scourge of the Earth.

Good, my feelings were hurt for a second

That's a little extreme for dillos, but if it was spiders that would be the correct answer.

Like your way of thinking, burn house down on top of dillo in hole.
