The Secret Life of the Armadillo: Texas’s Backyard Digging Machine

Why Armadillos Dig
Armadillos aren’t trying to wreck your lawn—they’re looking for dinner! Grubs, insects, and worms make up most of their diet. If your soil is healthy (full of tasty bugs), armadillos see it as an all-you-can-eat buffet.

The Damage They Cause
While they’re not aggressive, armadillos can:
⚠️ Dig up gardens and lawns
⚠️ Undermine patios or walkways
⚠️ Create trip hazards with burrow holes

What Attracts Them to Your Yard
🔹 Soft, moist soil
🔹 Plentiful bugs
🔹 Low brush or hiding spots

How to Keep Armadillos Out
✅ Reduce watering—less moisture = less digging
✅ Remove brush piles and yard clutter
✅ Consider fencing or barriers
✅ Let Homeland Wildlife create an exclusion plan that’s armadillo-proof

👉 Keep your lawn safe from the “Texas tanks.”
