Any of you fellas ever dealt with armadillos? Got them at the farm and they're doing a fair job of tearing up my grass. I've shot 3 but I have to catch them up there to be able to do that. Is there something I can put out to run them off or is it a buy some night vision and go wait? Think there's a opossum or two mixed in also ------------- "Farming is a business that makes a Las Vegas craps table look like a regular paycheck" Ronald Reagan |

Tearing up your grass is the least of the problems. They burrow under buildings, in the pasture and hay fields,etc and cause lots of damage. I am overrun with them at the farm. Gassing them in using a hose running from an exhaust pipe into the burrow is supposed to kill them. I need to rig up a hose and try it. Propane shot down in the hole and ignited should do it too, but I don't want to risk blowing up the barn or burning it down. I'll leave that to Ole Shameless. ------------- Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God. |

22 mag. Focus on the areas they’re tearing up. They’ll come back to it at night. Set a 2:00am alarm and get up and watch. Do you have a dog? Big dogs seem to keep them away. |

| Permethrin mixed with crop oil. mixed at 3oz per 10-gallon water. takes about 3 months to work. Sprayed for tick infestation is how I discovered. During fall CRP mowing found here a diller, there a Diller, everywhere a dead diller. Had one that was rooting that just fell over dead. |

| Have our share of the burrowing pests. As see them in pasture load up the 243. They leave by carrion air vulture flights. Usually on a dead one in a day. |

And the plot thickens... I drive around the farm about every night just to check. As I turned the corner at the back of #1 and looked through some open fan shutters I saw a water nipple had come loose and flooded about a 10 x 10 section of the house. Went and got a shovel and a bucket. I parked the truck with the brights on so I could see when I came out with the buckets and when I came out with the first one, there stood Mr Dillo between me and the truck where my pistol stays. He scampered off down the hill and I dumped 7 or 8 buckets of soupy wet chicken sh!t down the hill right where he went. I hope I flooded his living room.

Blame the lack of control of our southern border. The illegals brought their pets with them |

. We had woodchuck problems when growing pumpkins. Easiest was CO down the dens and cover the exits. Hawks and coyotes where I'm at now keep them in check. Plus I keep watch and don't let them get a beachhead started. .
