Digging Holes in Your Yard? It Might Be an Armadillo.

Armadillos are shy, nocturnal diggers—but their impact on your property can be anything but subtle. Known for tearing up lawns, displacing soil, and creating deep burrows, armadillos are a major nuisance for homeowners, farms, and businesses throughout Florida.

Wildlife Works provides safe armadillo removal and burrow prevention across Central Florida, with techniques tailored to both residential and commercial landscapes.

Why Armadillos Are a Problem

We often get calls about:

  • Large burrows near foundations or driveways
  • Damage to lawns and flower beds overnight
  • Soil displacement around fencing, AC units, or pool decks
  • Paw prints or shallow cone-shaped holes across turf
  • Potential risk to livestock or pets from tripping hazards
  • Structural instability near porches or sidewalks

 

Armadillos also carry a small—but real—risk of disease transmission, including leprosy in rare cases. It’s critical to avoid direct contact.

Our Armadillo Removal Services Include:

  • Inspection of property for burrow locations and damage
  • Live trapping with non-lethal methods
  • Burrow collapse and soil stabilization (as permitted)
  • Barrier installation to block return access under decks, sheds, or porches
  • Property recommendations for deterrence, lighting, and yard treatment
  • Ongoing trapping programs for rural or high-risk properties

We work carefully to avoid disturbing other wildlife and prevent recurrence through exclusion and habitat modification.
