pastures and hay meadows by digging holes, some up  to 10-15 foot deep.  This can also cause a problem in sandy soils because of erosion.  </div> <div> Control can be a problem because there isn't a lot you can use to bait them with.  Armadillos are usually after insects or worms when they dig all of those little holes in your yard.  </div> <div> One thing you may try is live traps.  Bait the trap with earthworms, grubs or insects and place them in a nylon stocking from the back of the cage.  The stocking will allow the smell to go through so the armadillo can find it.  </div> <div> Armadillos also have very sensitive noses so you may try spraying a castor oil base solution around the place or throw out some moth balls.  Also try experimenting with some hot pepper around the places they dig.</div> <div> If that doesn't work, you may try pulling an all-nighter and hunt them.  They can come out at any time but usually from midnight through 4 a.m.</div> <div> My quote of the week comes from Edward Phelps.  It reads, "The man who makes no mistake does not usually make anything."</div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
