Why Are Armadillos a Problem in Georgia?
The nine-banded armadillo has become increasingly common in Georgia, including urban and suburban areas around Atlanta. Though shy and nocturnal, they cause serious property damage:
- Digging holes and tunnels in lawns and landscaping
- Burrowing under foundations, porches, and driveways
- Damaging irrigation systems and root structures
- Spreading fleas, ticks, and potentially leprosy (Hansen’s disease)
Signs of Armadillo Activity
- Cone-shaped holes (3–5 inches wide) in turf or mulch
- Uprooted plants and disrupted flower beds
- Cracked sidewalks or foundations from burrowing
- Trails or low tunnels near fences, AC units, or sheds
- Nighttime activity or sightings in yard or driveway
Our Armadillo Removal Process
1. Inspection
We inspect the property to confirm armadillo activity, locate burrows, and assess the extent of the damage.
2. Humane Trapping
We set live traps along travel paths, near burrow openings, or close to fresh digging. Our methods comply with Georgia wildlife regulations.
3. Removal & Relocation
Once captured, armadillos are humanely removed from the property and relocated or handled in accordance with state law.
4. Exclusion & Prevention
- Burrow closures and trench barriers
- Landscape modifications to discourage digging
- Recommendations on fencing or grading adjustments
How to Prevent Armadillo Damage
- Remove dense ground cover and mulch beds near your home
- Use motion-activated sprinklers or lights
