Ocala Wildlife Removal Tip of the Month: What Are the Common Problems That Armadillos Cause?

Armadillos are interesting and unique wildlife creature. They are small animals that are known for their sharp claws that they use for digging. Nonetheless, they can still be a nuisance creature since they can cause a variety of problems and damages to our homes. In this article, we will take a close look on the possible issues related with armadillo’s invasion. We will also give you tips on how you can stay away from these dangers.



Different Damages Caused by Ocala Armadillos
In general, armadillos do not have a dangerous and destructive behavior. Still, they are wildlife creatures, and you need to deal with them with extreme cautiousness. They will highly rely on their bony body coverings as their primary defense. Once they feel threatened they can also release a squealing or squeaking sound. Rather than to confront it, armadillos still choose to flee from dangers since they do not have offensive skills.

Indirect Harm
Armadillos will not cause a direct harm to human. They are known carrier of the bacteria that can cause leprosy. However, humans can only be infected with the bacteria once they consume an undercook meat of the armadillo. Despite of their harmless and docile nature, it is still recommended to get rid of this creature once it invaded your property.

Property Damage
As the Ocala armadillos are searching for their food, they can damage our lawn, homes, trees, and garden. They love to eat insects that are buried deep in the ground. While they are digging their foods, they can accidentally damage the root system of the trees and plants. Apart from that, this creature is also notorious for eating the stalks of plants and the ripe vegetables and fruits. They can also steal the eggs on the nest of chickens and birds. Their persistent digging will make our lawn look unsightly.

Getting Rid of the Florida Armadillos
Armadillos do not hibernate and they will remain active all year round. The approach to remove this creature from your property highly varies. We recommend our readers to use the non-lethal and human method since it does not pose any risks. A live trap that has a size of at least 30 inches is advisable to use. Using food as bait is not suggested since it has the possibility to attract the other animals. The best method is to set the trap on the path of the creature.

Since this creature has a submissive nature, you may also try to use repellent and deterrents to drive them away. Physical deterrent such as fencing can present a long-term solution. Using liquid and spray repellent on the other hand, will be costly and time consuming. If infestation persists, you need to call the help of the expert. While the armadillo do not have the aggressive behavior, they can still cause an indirect harm to human. Before your armadillo problem goes beyond your control, it is best to drive them away the moment that you notice the signs of infestation.
