Hi Barb And Suze,
The option of trapping the critter in a live trap would not work, as I would just end up with one of my cats in the thing, (old Tiger Foot knows all about that.) about 4 years ago I was awakened on a Sunday morning by this blood curdling scream.
As it turned out old Tiger Foot was trapped in a county live trap that the neighbors had allowed to be placed on their property to catch dogs, (it seems that their dog was the only one that they thought should run loose).
After the neighbors saw me jump a 5 foot fence run through their yard barefooted in just shorts, destroy the trap, rescue Foot and run back, the law was called and they came over.
I told the young fellow about how my critters were my kids and I hadn’t had my coffee yet, (the deputy was pretty relived as he thought there was a wild man on the loose from the call he received) we had a good laugh and I filled a statement.
I paid for the trap and the county dropped the malicious mischief charges and destruction of county property they had placed over my head.
Animal control would just laugh at me to say the least and we have untold amounts of armadillos in the area.
The area where we live is very wooded and we have no neighbors in the back, just woods.
I found the critters hole on the backside of my place and I think I will just have to out smart him.
He hasn’t bothered the other plants and they can’t climb so a short fence may be in order.
Maybe I can put out food for him so he will get full before he has to come all the way to the front for grubs. (Sorry Grub)
Thanks,
Worth
