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 we handle it
- 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
