Nighttime Ravager

How does one explain to a hungry armadillo that you want him to leave the expensive new landscaping alone?

Fio and Husband awoke three days ago to discover something had rampaged their park-like landscaping, digging deep holes in the soil and around the trees, then cris-crossing the zoysia with ruts.

Husband bought spray to ward off deer and rabbits. Fio applied it. Almost immediately, rain washed it away. Not that their efforts mattered--Naturalist Sheryl told Fio the problem was an armadillo digging for grubs.

Forget about explaining. How do you keep the sucker out of the yard?!

Make your driveway longer.

Guess who's coming to dinner.

Kill an armadillo & use the blood as a repellent :-)
