Baiting the Nine-Banded Armadillo
UW362/WEC317 by Holly K. Ober, Lucas W. DeGroote, and Russell F. Mizell IIINovember 2, 2017What is the tastiest treat to tempt an armadillo? Armadillos are one of the most significant nuisance pests in Florida and much of the Southeast. There are no repellents, toxicants, or fumigants registered for use with them. They are good at both burrowing beneath and climbing over fences. There are also no effective methods for baiting them into traps. So, the authors of this 3-page fact sheet set up a test to determine which materials have the greatest potential to serve as bait.
