Armadillo Removal in Tennessee

Armadillo Removal

What Animal Looks Like an Armadillo?

The nine-banded armadillo, named after it's nine breaks in the leathery armor is generally about the size of a house cat. This native mammal of southwestern North America has expanded into Tennessee, and is now considered common. Armadillos eat  many insects and plants, and are mostly active at night due to very poor eyesight. When startled, armadillos often leap into the air and then run for cover.

What Problems & Damage Do Armadillos Cause?

Most armadillo damage is caused from their feeding habits, leaving behind holes that can be several inches deep. Armadillos are also known to destroy gardens and even uproot shrubs in search for food. Additionally, armadillos will typically not inhabit human dwelling areas instead they create burrows along foundation walls, driveways, or side walks. These burrows over time can cause structural issues if left unattended. Armadillos are known to carry leprosy which can be spread to humans through contact with their saliva. However, not all armadillos carry this disease but any scratches or bites should be treated immediately by a medical professional.
