Yesterday while walking around our block, we came across an Armadillo rooting around the neighbors yard. Pretty neat...had never see one that close except dead ones on the side of the road.
Today we saw him and his brother in the same yard, at 10:00 a.m. Thought they were nocturnal?

They are for the most part. They must have been hungry and their burrow near by.

You have to be careful trapping those guys. If they stay out in direct sunlight too long they over heat and die. When we trap them we always use a covered cage.

Grubs are prevalent in the shrub beds right now, not uncommon to wake up and see your mulch turned over from them digging around the house.

We have Armadillos in Florida ? Wow, I never knew, and I've been here over 30 years !! I always thought they were in Texas mainly.

Thanks Bug Man....funny, my wife and I walk around the same blocks for 2 years, never saw one. Lately we see 1 or 2 every day. Maybe they were there all the time and we just didn't notice, but they are kind of hard not to notice them rooting around.
Don..looked them up on the internet, they are not native to Florida, but got introduced like so many species, and now have take up residence.

I moved to my house in October we had to have a animal removal service come because they broke out of and broke the traps we set. So far we have removed 3 armadillos...they dug a tunnel under our lanai from one side to another lots of $$ damage..they are nasty..
