As far as I know, armadillos don't climb but they are tenacious diggers and they do like grubs. The ones around here only come out late at night and disappear at dawn. My neighbor and I went in together to buy a trap since it was tearing up her lawn and flower bed as well. She tried tuna and only caught 2 stray cats. I read that armadillos like worms and fruit so I was going to try those as bait if I need to do some trapping this summer. I figured cheese cloth will keep the worms from wriggling away. Animal control will come get it and relocate it.
Their eyesight is poor but their hearing is very good so your ultrasonic device should work. When startled they jump up in the air, then take off in a very awkward run. It's pretty funny to watch...if you're up that early.
