Armadillos: The Diggers

Have you ever walked out your front door in the morning to retrieve the newspaper and seen a dozen holes in your yard? You most likely have an armadillo population.

Armadillos use their sharp claws to dig for food and and shelter. Unfortunately, their shelter consists of those deep holes dug around and under your home and other areas on your land. Those holes are hazardous to the integrity of your property and can cause your structure to sink and crack.

Various diseases are associated with armadillos. The bacterium leprae can infect the animal, this is the bacteria which causes leprosy. Armadillos can carry rabies. But since rabies is contacted by humans through the bite of an animal, rabies is a low risk to humans because armadillos rarely bite.
