Orlando Armadillo Extermination Company

This is a photo that I took of an armadillo doing what it does best - dig for earthworms or grubs. Armadillos aren't as aware as other animals. Whereas a fox will see and smell you from 200 yards away and silently slink off into the night, I can often sneak right up an an armadillo busying itself digging for food. I guess that's the luxury that having a thick shell for a skin provides. Armadillos have crappy eyesight, and that doesn't help matters any. However, they do have a great sense of smell, and often as I approach them, they'll kind of sit/stand upright and sniff the air. If I'm not wearing just the right kind of deodorant (Grub Guard Antiperspirant) they head for the hills. I mean tunnels.

I titled this page Armadillo Extermination, but that's not what I do. I don't exterminate them, and I don't run a pest control or extermination company. I specialize in urban wildlife management. This means that I never use poisons - and there's definitely no poison registered for use on, or that could possibly work on armadillos. I don't shoot them or use lethal traps. I trap and remove them in humane cage traps. The animals enter the traps, because I use my years of experience to set them just so - and then I come and safely remove them from the premises.
