Armadillos may seem harmless, but when they begin digging around homes, they can cause extensive damage to lawns, landscaping, and foundations. Cingo Home provides professional, humane armadillo removal and control servicesto protect your property and prevent continued destruction.

About Armadillos

The nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus) is commonly found throughout the Southeast, including Georgia. Armadillos are primarily nocturnal, though they may occasionally be active during daylight hours, especially during cooler months.

Armadillos have poor eyesight but an excellent sense of smell, which they use to locate insects underground. This behavior often brings them into residential yards, lawns, gardens, and landscaped areas, where they forage for food.

Armadillo Behavior & Digging Habits

Armadillos are solitary animals and are best known for their digging behavior. They feed primarily on insects and invertebrates, especially grubs, beetles, and earthworms. Because armadillos forage nightly and cover large areas, damage can spread quickly across a property. Main behaviors include: 

  • Mostly nocturnal activity
  • Strong digging claws and powerful forelimbs
  • Extensive foraging holes and shallow trenches
  • Burrows that may extend several feet underground
  • One litter per year, typically producing identical offspring

Damage Caused by Armadillos

Armadillo activity can result in significant and ongoing property damage, particularly to lawns and landscaped areas. Left untreated, armadillo damage often worsens over time as animals return to the same feeding areas. Common armadillo-related problems include:

  • Numerous holes and trenches in lawns and turf

  • Damage to flowerbeds, gardens, and decorative landscaping

  • Undermining of sidewalks, driveways, patios, and foundations

  • Soil displacement near structures

  • Increased risk of trip-and-fall hazards
