As I crawled into bed, Dan admitted that he was originally skeptical and somewhat amused by my efforts, but after hearing the shots he figured my persistence and determination had paid off. He also assured me that further damage to the lawn may now be a thing of the past because many times, in instances like this, it is only a couple of armadillos that are causing that kind of destruction.

The Puckets are fooling themselves if they think there's only a couple...

Armadillos are an invasive exotic in Georgia, and they keep coming...

In my previous garden, I had endless problems, in spite of armadillo genocide, fencing, patrolling the garden every hour all night long... could not discourage those beasts...

I do have one garden where a couple of electric fence wires an inch above the soil, and a couple inches above that seems to be mostly working... So... if you can fence in the yard... might be a solution.

They seem to hibernate during the winter... and during the drought, they hang out in low country (valleys and washes) destroying the fragile wetland ecosystems.
