Protect Your Lawn From Costly Armadillo Damage
If you are dealing with repeated digging, shallow holes, or torn-up turf, Peachtree Pest Control provides professional armadillo control throughout Northern Georgia. Our team uses targeted inspection, strategic fencing, trapping, and armadillo removal techniques to help protect lawns, landscaped areas, and soil from ongoing damage.
If you have noticed shallow holes, disturbed mulch, uprooted plants, or sections of grass that look like they were rooted through overnight, an armadillo may be the cause. While these animals are not typically aggressive toward people or pets, they can cause serious damage to lawns, flower beds, and soft soil in a short amount of time.
If you are searching for pest control for armadillos, what you usually need is a wildlife control solution that addresses feeding patterns, travel routes, and the conditions attracting them to your yard.
Our Armadillo Control Process
Because armadillos are nocturnal, low-to-the-ground animals that often follow the same travel paths, successful armadillo control requires more than a simple set-it-and-forget-it trap. At Peachtree Pest Control, we use a structured approach designed specifically for these animals.
Property Inspection
Our trained technician evaluates your yard to identify signs of activity, likely burrow locations, feeding damage, and the best placement for control measures. This first step helps us understand how the animal is using the property and where the most effective setup should begin.
Strategic Fencing Setup
We install a temporary fencing system designed to guide the armadillo’s natural movement patterns. This setup helps direct movement and improves trap placement, which is one reason professional trapping armadillos is often more effective than DIY attempts.
Responsible Armadillo Trapping
Using the fencing as a guide, we place traps in strategic locations to improve capture success while minimizing disruption to your yard. Our process is built around how armadillos actually move and forage, not guesswork.
Safe Armadillo Removal
Once captured, we handle armadillo removal carefully and responsibly. This targeted approach is highly effective and helps resolve the immediate problem while limiting further lawn and landscape damage.

Why Armadillos Cause Yard Damage
Armadillos do not usually invade the interior of homes, but they can still create major problems outdoors. They dig while searching for insects and grubs, which turns lawns, beds, and soft soil into feeding areas.
Common signs of armadillo activity include:
- Small to medium-sized holes throughout the lawn
- Uprooted plants or disturbed flower beds
- Burrows near foundations, driveways, or tree roots
- Damage that appears suddenly, often overnight
Without proper pest control for armadillos, this digging can quickly escalate and lead to costly lawn repairs. In addition to damaging turf and flower beds, burrowing near roots, walkways, or hardscape edges can create recurring landscape issues if the activity is not addressed quickly.
Not every yard problem is caused by armadillos. If your lawn damage looks more like raised tunnels or mounds, you may also want to learn about our mole control services.
How to Help Prevent Future Armadillo Activity
Professional removal is the most effective way to deal with active armadillo problems, but there are also steps homeowners can take to help reduce future activity:
- Reduce grub and insect populations in the lawn
- Keep landscaping well maintained
- Eliminate potential shelter areas like brush piles
- Address burrows quickly before they expand
Reducing lawn insects can help make your property less attractive over time, but it usually does not solve an active armadillo problem on its own. Our team can also provide wildlife exclusion guidance to help reduce the chances of recurring activity.
