Armadillo trapping in New Orleans

Trapping armadillos in New Orleans this year has certainly been fun! Trapping them isnt very easy and can be quite tricky even for an expert. I have trapped more armadillos out of LaPlace this year than any other area!
Why remove an armadillo? The answer is simple really especially if you have termites or a contract with a pest control company for termites. Any time you dig (or an armadillos digs!) around the foundation the area needs to be retreated as the barrier they have established is broken.
I have found no bait yet to work for them. I simply trap them using known trails they use and allow them to walk right in. Placing a trap in front of the hole can result in catching them faster too!
