Armadillo Trapping and Relocation – Residential Home, Ocala, Florida

Project Overview

A homeowner in Ocala, Florida, noticed a large hole in their front yard while trimming bushes. The surrounding bushes and flowers showed significant damage, and the homeowner nearly injured himself when the ground gave way over a tunnel created by the animal. Concerned about safety and ongoing property damage, the homeowner called Wildlife Works for help.

Challenges

Armadillos dig extensive burrow systems that can cause yard instability and damage to landscaping. Their tunnels often go unnoticed until the soil collapses, creating hazards for homeowners. Identifying the source of the problem was critical to ensure proper removal.

Our Approach

Wildlife Works responded promptly and identified the culprit as an armadillo.

A live trap was set up directly outside the active burrow.
The animal was safely trapped overnight.
The armadillo was relocated the following morning to a suitable habitat away from residential areas.

Results

The armadillo was successfully removed within one day, preventing further damage to the homeowner’s yard. The front bushes and landscaping are now safe from additional tunneling.
