Armadillos are strong enough to break out of those traps. Releasing them in another area only creates problems for others. There’s no bait for an armadillo.
I got the momma, and three babies. Now I need to catch the papa. I relocate them about 10 miles away, near a wooded forest with no houses or subdivisions around for miles.
I learned that if you put wings on the trap using small cuts of wood on either side to guide the inquisitive nature of the animal!!! They will wonder right in between the wings of the wood right into your trap! I'm headed to Tractor supply!!!!!
I put up a electric fence i saw on u tube made jiust for armadillo's. Buy 4ft aluminum rods at tractor supply, a bag of rod insulators, zip ties 8", u will need a zareba control box for how far u are running the fence we bought a 15 mile 20v using polywire. Cut the posts into 16" , half in the ground and half out we put a rod every 5 ft. Put on a insulator, run the wire of your chosing, connect to the control box, plug it into a standard outlet. We also have a photocell on the outside of the building where the control box is so ut automatically comes on when sun goes down & goes off whe sun comes up. I have gone 4 yrs without 1 hole. They touch it and go the other way all it does is give them a jolt of electricity but doesn't kill them.
Thanks so much for this informative video. We are having a problem with armadillos after a ranch field not far from us was set on fire by some kids. Since then our neighborhood has been tusseling with these dillos trying to find ways to get rid of them. I have the trap - now all I need to do is get the worms. Thanks again.
Moving in your own neighborhood is a bad idea ……. It would be better to put them where there is some predators in the wild. I let the ones I caught in a rural area with alligators around
New to these creatures. Have at least one in our backyard. I think I'll be getting one of these traps, but I don't have any hesitation about popping them off in the cage. Taking them to the far side of the subdivision just gives another property owner the problem.
I almost busted an ankle one night so now they get the pew pew.. try throwing some cayenne pepper in the areas you see holes and put the dirt back on it and this should help deter them. Also pour some of that cayenne pepper around areas of your fence you see holes.
all the armos around my house only come out at night and at different times so it's super frustrating trying to find out where their coming from. I have gotten up and down all night looking outside trying to catch em in act but apparently missed em because the next morning I go outside and find what looks like pig rootings from where the armo just mocked and laughed at me and dug my yard up some more. Steam boiling out my ears! Oh and while surveying my yard at 2:am last night I find a giant opossum in the back yard, so I'm thinking the critters are ganging up on me now 😮 They both got to go, one way or another
Buy or make a wooden trap. They work much better. Search for The Armadillo Trap. They are attaracted to the scent of other armadillos. Get a scented one and it will start catching them quickly.
Use a wooden trap. They work much better and need no bait. Once you trap an armadillo it, leave it in the trap for around 12 hours. It will put its scent into the trap and that scent will attract other armadillos. The more you catch the better it works. You need to take them farther away to relocate them. Otherwise they will eventually return to your yard. Take them at least 10 miles away, preferably in a wooded or swampy area. BTW - If you are quick enough, you probably could have walked up to the one you chased and picked it up. Do it quickly because they will buck and jump out of your hands. One night I caught a mother with three babies following. I walked right up and picked up two of the babies. The other two were gone by the time I was able to contain the two I caught. i put them in a bathtub until I relocated them the next day.
@@typicaloutdoors3335 in my country people eat it cooked in coconut milk I have never and will never eat it, espetialy now that someone assossiated it with leprosy, that made me start thinking on those people that their skin have become white, canot remember the name of that desease right now God bless
I don't want to kill them either but they are driving me insane. They are just doing what they do but my yard and garden looks like someone shot it up.
@@typicaloutdoors3335 Armadillo's don't know their in a nature reserve. It will head straight to that house in the back ground. I am 76 years old don't try to fool me.
Those wire traps are not very effective. Baiting them attracts other animals. They are attracted to the scent of other armadillos. Get a wooden trap that already has an armadillo scent in it. Just leave the trapped armadillo in the trap for around 12 hours to allow it to scent the trap. The more you trap, the better it will work.
that little guy launched right out of there! Thanks for not killing them. Sure they carry diseases, so be super careful while handling them, but unless they are overpopulated there’s no reason to kill them. Just part of the natural ecosystem, even if they are a nuisance at times.
Gee whiz...thanks neighbor. That explains my crappy grass and lack of flowers in my garden overnight. LOL
22 long rifle is best trap

That's awesome...great job!!
I can’t believe you let that thing go next to someone’s house, you wouldn’t like it if he let an armadillo go next to your house.
Me too I can't believe that!

Depends on how much I like or dislike the neighbor.

Good video ,,and yes we have the ARMADILLOS PROBLEM ,and will be trying to catch them.Thank You😊
Thank you for sharing. I need to rehome the armadillo that is tearing up my yard and I don’t want to kill it either. Thanks.
Yeah make it someone else's problem !!!!!!!!

Don't let them go.

Don’t waste your time with worms. You’ll catch other critters before you catch an armadillo
Moving in your own neighborhood is a bad idea ……. It would be better to put them where there is some predators in the wild. I let the ones I caught in a rural area with alligators around
They have no natural predators. Moving them just gives your problem to someone else. You’re not solving anything unless you exterminate them.
New to these creatures. Have at least one in our backyard. I think I'll be getting one of these traps, but I don't have any hesitation about popping them off in the cage. Taking them to the far side of the subdivision just gives another property owner the problem.
Believe you me...popping them is way better. If I would have been a little further in the country they would have been dead!!!
@@typicaloutdoors3335 Pellet to the brain pan works every time.
Yep, catch them in your cross hairs. Please dont let them go if you catch them. They are everywhere lately. Mid Missouri.

Exactly. That’s what I’ve done, bought 5 lb can of cayenne pepper on Amazon, sprinkled a bit around, haven’t seen any digging anymore

Messing with a wild animals wearing flip flops is never a good idea.
I have a big time armadillo issue too. My yard looks like a war zone, crap! I am using the metal trap with no luck yet.
Man you need to find a pinch point between their home and your yard.

Give a neighbor your problem

Texas State dept says "dispatch" them
I am dealing with them. But I want them dead and gone
Stew him up carrot n potato in coconut milk🥥 🧄 🌶
Never tried to eat one...what was your experience?

God bless
The armadillos break out of those cages I've tried.
A shot gun is the best trap
Maybe the bucket won’t work. I have the same problem. Good luck
Fish net with a long handle would have got him.
Haircare 1954 They do work and will work. What is the point you are trying to make?
I don't want to kill them either but they are driving me insane. They are just doing what they do but my yard and garden looks like someone shot it up.
Sounds like they have left you no choice...lol
Everything is easy when you got money and golf cars and nice house, when you have money life is much easier
Why would you release an Invasive species? I have shot 16 as of last night on my 2 acre lot!!!!!!! This Year.
Your neighbors are going to love you man. Take your problems to your neighbors yard. Not to smart.
It was a nature reserve we have in our community...not my neighbors...
@@typicaloutdoors3335 Armadillo's don't know their in a nature reserve. It will head straight to that house in the back ground. I am 76 years old don't try to fool me.
For mom and pop armadillo, even the largest trap you purchased WILL NOT WORK!
@@Haircare-rz4qg Oh but it did.
That's for sure. Dumping destructive animals like that so close to your neighbor's homes is definitely not considerate.
How much for the traps?
I think they were 30-40 bucks at Tractor Supply
I’ve recently caught 7 raccoons with that same 2 for 1 trap but not the armadillo, which is the reason I bought them!
Those wire traps are not very effective. Baiting them attracts other animals. They are attracted to the scent of other armadillos. Get a wooden trap that already has an armadillo scent in it.

@@jlt7793 See my reply below. The wire traps are not very effective. The wooden traps are fantastic. No need to bait them.
And another one got away!
If you kill the grubs in your yard they may move on somewhere else.
I can't believe they are playing around with this disgusting animal !!!!
that little guy launched right out of there!
Thanks for not killing them. Sure they carry diseases, so be super careful while handling them, but unless they are overpopulated there’s no reason to kill them. Just part of the natural ecosystem, even if they are a nuisance at times.
They are considered an invasive species
Why would you let him out in your houses to wreak havoc on somebody else along take him out of the woods about three or 4 miles. Damn that’s a dumb.
Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching the video.
Bro, a very dumb move.
