Armadillos

Armadillo Removal in Missouri City

Armadillos dig for grubs at night and tear up a lawn fast. Worse, they burrow under decks, slabs and foundations.

Lawn getting torn up overnight, or a burrow opening up under the deck? That is usually an armadillo digging for grubs. They root through flower beds and turf and, worse, dig dens under decks, slabs and foundations, which can undermine the concrete. We remove the armadillo and close off the burrows so the yard and the structure are protected.

Why they wreck the yard

Armadillos feed on grubs and worms in the soil, so they dig, every night, leaving cone-shaped holes and rooted-up turf and beds. The bigger problem is where they den: they tunnel under decks, sheds, slabs and foundations, and those burrows can undercut the concrete and create a real structural headache over time.

Removing them and closing the burrows

We remove the armadillo, since they are hard to deter once they have found grubs in your soil, then close off the burrow openings under the structure so another one does not take over the den. If grubs are what is drawing them, that is worth addressing so the yard stops being a buffet.

Questions

Armadillo questions

What is digging cone-shaped holes in my lawn overnight?
That is the signature of an armadillo digging for grubs. They work at night and can tear up a lawn or flower bed fast. We remove them, since once they have found grubs in your soil they keep coming back to dig.
Are armadillo burrows a real problem?
Yes, more than the lawn damage. Armadillos den under decks, sheds, slabs and foundations, and those tunnels can undercut concrete over time. Closing the burrows after the armadillo is out is part of protecting the structure.
Can't I just fill in the holes?
Filling holes does not stop an armadillo that has found grubs in your yard; it just digs again. Removing the wildlife and then closing the burrows, plus addressing the grubs drawing it in, is what solves it.
