If your lawn is suddenly full of shallow holes and uprooted plants, an armadillo is
a likely culprit. They dig relentlessly hunting for grubs and insects, and they can
tear up a yard, flower beds, and even burrow under foundations and slabs. [BUSINESS

Why armadillos wreck yards
Armadillos are built to dig, and they do it constantly, leaving cone-shaped holes
and rooted-up beds across a lawn overnight. Their burrows are the bigger worry: dug
against a foundation, patio, or driveway, they can undermine the structure over
time. They've steadily expanded across Georgia, and they're an increasingly common
call around Marietta.
When you'll notice the damage
Armadillos forage most in the warmer months, and because they're active around
dawn, dusk, and overnight, most people never see the animal, just the fresh
damage each morning. The digging follows the food: soft, grub-rich soil, mulched
beds, and irrigated lawns are prime targets.
How it's handled
- Inspect: confirm armadillo activity and locate burrows and dig zones
- Remove: strategic trapping (armadillos don't take bait the way other
animals do, so placement and technique matter) - Address burrows: deal with active burrows near structures
- Advise: steps to make the yard less attractive and reduce repeat digging

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know an armadillo is digging up my yard?
Armadillos leave cone-shaped holes a few inches wide, uprooted plants, and fresh damage that appears overnight. You may also find burrows near foundations, decks, or sheds. If your Marietta lawn is getting torn up after dark, it is very often an armadillo.
Why are armadillos digging in my lawn?
They are foraging for grubs, worms, and insects in the soil. A healthy, well-watered lawn with a good grub population is exactly what draws them, which is why they keep coming back to the same yards night after night.
Are armadillos hard to trap?
Yes. Armadillos do not take bait the way other animals do, so trapping them takes proper placement and technique along their travel and burrow routes. Our pros have experience removing them from Marietta yards effectively.
How do you keep armadillos from coming back?
Our pros remove the animal and address the burrows, and can advise on reducing the grubs and access that attract them. Call (678) 257-7116 to stop the digging and protect your lawn.
