Durham armadillo control

We are experts in armadillo control, but are not your typical Durham, North Carolina animal removal company. We do not use poisons or repellents, since no bait works on armadillos, and poison is inhumane. In our armadillo removal process, we trap and relocate the animals. Since armadillos do not respond to bait, the key to permanent armadillo removal is to know exactly what type of trap to use and where to use it — a process that takes experience, which we have practiced and perfected over the years. We completely solve your armadillo problem by taking these steps:

  • Inspect the entire property grounds - lawn, yard, garden, etc.
  • Set several humane traps on your property - the correct and safe way!
  • Remove all armadillos as they are caught and monitor for activity
  • Once there is no more activity and no more armadillos caught, we're done
  • When needed, fill in burrows and seal with underground fencing

Armadillo poison - There are no approved armadillo poisons on the market and for good reason. Not only would it be virtually impossible to get an animal that eats grubs and worms to be tempted to ingest poison, killing wild animals in this manner can have some serious repercussions further up the food chain. Poison can kill other predators through secondary ingestion or can cause side effects that weaken another animal up the line. No one thinks it's a big deal until their dog dies from eating a poisoned nuisance animal. Armadillos are not mean or aggressive creatures, and killing them, unless you want to eat them, is unnecessary. If you do eat them—be careful. There is a way for humans to contract leprosy from armadillos. The best and most reliable way to catch these gentle animals is to set out a cage trap. The armadillo is not overly cunning and will walk into an un-baited trap if it is set near the burrow opening. Baiting your armadillo trap is discouraged because the bait will probably draw in another animal, like a skunk or a raccoon, before it will lure in your true target.


We do not do traditional Durham pest control for armadillos, nor Durham exterminator services. We are a humane wildlife-only specialists, and we focus on burrowing animals.
