ARMADILLOS

Humane Armadillo Removal

Armadillos are common in grasslands, forests, wetlands, and semi-desert areas of America. These regions provide plenty of sandy or loose soil environments where they can dig and excavate. In South Carolina, the nine-banded armadillo, which has nine rings around its body, is the most common variety.

Their ability to adapt to wildly different habitats affords them a high degree of biological advantage.

Depending on the species type, armadillos can range from tennis ball-sized to a 13 lb watermelon! According to the National Wildlife Federation, the nine-banded armadillos are about 2.5 feet (0.7 meters) long from the nose to the tip of the tail and weigh an average of 12 pounds (5 kilograms). Nine-banded armadillos are found in the southeastern United States, but their range has been expanding continually northward for more than a hundred years.These herbivores have pointed snouts, short legs, a long tail, sharp claws, and big ears. Their most exciting feature, the scaly outer shell, provides a shield resembling armor holding most of the head, body, and legs.

Its diet consists of arthropods, ants, insects, termites, fruits, and plants. They can also consume nesting birds and their eggs occasionally.

They are competent hunters using their sharp claws to dig large tunnels in the ground. These tunnels serve as homes, are comfortable, and protect the critters from predators.

The animal’s social habits are pretty flexible, depending on the situation. Most of the time, this pest thrives in solitary and is mainly a nocturnal animal.

They can spend up to 16 hours per day asleep, usually in burrows. They rarely share their burrow with others; however, they can share them with snakes, tortoises, and rats.

They are vulnerable to attacks by predators, including jaguars, coyotes, bobcats, wolves, bears, large hawks, and other birds of prey. The shaggy fur covering is crucial to their defense. If it fails, it attacks with its claws or tries to play lifeless.

Some species reproduce year-round, while others reproduce only at certain times of the year. Male armadillos rely on their superior sense of smell to locate a female for mating.

DAMAGE FROM ARMADILLOS

According to several reports, armadillos are common in Texas, the Midwest, and the deep South. However, they are increasingly migrating to South Carolina.

Armadillos in South Carolina and surrounding areas might cause several types of issues to property owners. These wild animals won’t enter your home. However, they will cause damage to your garden, lawn, and even your health. Look for holes in your yard or even scratched and crumbling foundation as evidence of an armadillo issue.

We were really impressed with Chris Mclain’s knowledge of pest control. He was so professional in his explanation of what we needed to have done. His bid was also much lower than our other bid. We highly recommend this company for any pest elimination you need. Michael and Ashley Robilio.

Matt at Alpha Wildlife is such a nice and professional guy. I always like to hire veteran owned companies and you can tell that he has that demeanor about him. He was able to help with the squirrels in our attic in Bartlett, TN. Great guy.

David and Matt at Alpha Wildlife are awesome to work with. We live in Germantown, TN and had rats in our home. They were quick to diagnose the problem and got the rats out of our home. Great work from both of them.

After calling multiple other companies to remove a possibility rabid racoon from my property and was told they could not get to me until the next day, I called Alpha Wildlife. Chris came out within 30 minutes of my call and caught and removed racoon. He said they would check to make sure it was sick. If so they would euthanize humanely. If it was not sick they would release it back into the wild. This made my daughter very happy. I would highly recommend.
