Florida Law & Compliance
Armadillos are non-native and unprotected in Florida, which allows flexible trapping timelines — success still depends on reading burrows and travel paths correctly. See FWC nuisance wildlife rules →
| Factor | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Number of entry points | More access points mean more exclusion material and labor time |
| Attic/roof accessibility | Steep, multi-story, or tile roofs require extra safety equipment |
| Presence of young/litter | Family removal takes extra time and a humane handling approach |
| Extent of damage | Insulation replacement, wiring repair referrals, and sanitation add scope |
| Recurring or unresolved activity | Prior incomplete exclusion elsewhere may require more extensive sealing |
Armadillo Removal FAQs
Why can't I catch the armadillo myself in Union Park?
In Union Park, an armadillo is digging for grubs and worms in the soil. It is not looking for bait in a trap in the middle of the lawn. The sets that work follow the burrow and the travel line along a fence or a foundation. A baited cage in the grass usually sits empty while the yard keeps getting torn up.
Will killing grubs stop the damage in Union Park?
In Union Park, it lowers the reason to dig. It does not remove an armadillo that is already denning under the shed or working the block every night. If both are true, we trap the animal and you still deal with the grubs. One without the other is half a job.
Are armadillos dangerous in Union Park?
In Union Park, they are not aggressive. They can carry bacteria linked to leprosy, which is rare and not a reason to panic, and it is a reason not to pick one up. We do the handling. Armadillos are not in the rabies-vector group with raccoons, bats, foxes, and skunks.
