Give Armadillos the Boot!
As solitary, nocturnal
foes, armadillos forage at dusk and dig burrows that can extend up to 25 ft. long,
disrupting root systems of trees, shrubs and ornamentals.
The snout-wielding
insectivores dig up lawns, poking under loose leaves, and burrowing in gardens
for their preferred food of choice: insects, grubs, mole crickets, earthworms,
caterpillars, beetles, and more. Since one armadillo is capable of maintaining
up to 12 burrows, the damage to lawns and gardens and commercial farms and
nurseries can be substantial. To compound the damage, their frenzied digging can
damage concrete slabs and weaken your homefs foundations.
Burrows
be-gone!
You can try eliminating their food source of insects and grubs with
pesticides that need several applications and may be toxic to beneficial insects
and your plants, pets and family. Or use an all-natural animal repellent like
the new Liquid Fence Armadillo Repellent that gives them a bellyache, seeking
food elsewhere.
The long-lasting, non-gel formula wonft clog sprayers and is
as easy-to-apply as watering your lawn. And itfs earth, family and pet-friendly,
and safe on all vegetation.
