Armadillo Advice Sought
unklbob
starts rooting around for grubs and such. Its playing hell with the
ti plants, and now its started to dig up one of my prized sago palms.
I thought about sending the hounds after it, but I hear they spread
leprosy and I don't want none of my hounds coming down with that. I
thought about rigging up some explosives on a trip wire, but I don't
need the neighbors complaining to the county.
How do you keep the dillos off of your lawn, some kind of critter
repellant?
Thanks in Advance.

Yes, indeed. It is known as "Clue". Go into your local shops, and
ask "Do you have any Clue?" They will soon sort you out, especially
in Texas.

They hate cars. My advice is to commence brodies and burnouts and
figger-eghts on your acreage.

You boys from Ukiah are funny, but it don't help my problem none.
I shoulda known better than to ask any damn Californians for advice.

I know nothing about this, just that armadillos and humans are the
only creatures of this earth that can get leprosy.

Personally, I prefer a 30-06 or .270. The 357 bullets fragment and bounce
back, much like when shooting at steel plates. The high-powered rifle just
leaves a big greasy spot with some armor plating.

Oh, indeed, but they also tend to reach for their guns at any time
anyone shows any evidence of even looking for "Clue", and I should
be the last person to discourage the hunting of underbridge dwellers.

the Ukiah gardening group gets posters from Arizona, New Mexico, and
yes, Texas because you share some zones. Armadillos might not be a
problem in Ukiah--yet--but soon enough the little buggers will work
their way right into your backyard, and you'll be glad for the advice
I now seek.

I suppose if they are anything like badgers for going through fences,
you will have to consider metal bars round the garden.

Back in the days when men were men, and the modern bunch of wimps
hadn't taken over, Texas had armadillos the size of small cars.
But I don't think that even the current dinky little ones will
reach the Ukraine.

I'm too zealous for that.

Hehee! I thought it was you. ;-)
I hope you're well.

You need to tackle the problem at source, find where they are roosting
(check nearby monkey-puzzle trees, they love to make their nests high up
in those) and smash the eggs while they're sleeping.
Failing that, collect some jackalope droppings and spread them round
your sago palms, that should protect them.
Hmmm!
Misfit may be right, but i would prefer to try a mix of bone walls and
CE.
Never heard about armadillos surviving that specific treatment...
Though dillos dont call me very often lately!
