05.18.2005 - Here is a photo of four adult armadillos, all caught in one day. This is the peak of the armadillo trapping season. Well, there is no real
season to speak of, since armadillos are active year-round and the population is relatively stable, but for some reason, I get more armadillos at this time
of year. These dillos all came from different properties. It's rare to catch more than one armadillo at any given time on a single property. Over a course of
days, yes, as different armadillos with overlapping territories cross the area, but in general, dillos are solitary creatures (except for mating time) and a
single capture often solves the problem on a property. This photo of a stack of armadillos was taken prior to the nightly release run. If you need an armadillo
trapper in Orlando FL, give me a call, or if you live elsewhere, check out my directory of hundreds of wildlife trappers nationwide, and you can find a
professional armadillo trapper expert in your area, whether it be Houston Texas, or Tampa Florida.
What makes a good armadillo trapper? Experience, mostly, and a knowledge of the animal and its behavior. At one of the four above jobs, the homeowner tried
for months to catch the armadillo, to no avail. Turns out he was using an acceptable type of trap, but set in the wrong place and in the wrong way. I came in
and caught the armadillo in under 48 hours, by using a system of traps and directional barriers. Armadillo trapping isn't always easy.
