Armadillo Removal

Armadillo Removal in Phoenix

The Nine-Banded Armadillo is often considered a nuisance due to its burrowing habits. These animals are highly adaptable, thriving in nearly any soil type. However, their long nails can damage utility lines, and their deep burrows can lead to foundational damage.

Beyond property damage, armadillos pose a public health risk as some carry the bacteria responsible for Hansen’s disease (leprosy). Therefore, it is essential to address the presence of armadillos on your property promptly and appropriately to mitigate these risks.

Diseases Spread by Armadillos

Diseases carried by armadillos are hard to contract without close interaction. People usually get infected through direct contact or by consuming the meat of these animals. Even after death, armadillos and undercooked meat can still harbor bacteria and viruses. Leprosy is the most common disease linked to armadillos, but they can also carry parasitic worms and sometimes rabies. To minimize the risk of infection, it’s best to rely on professional wildlife removal services for dealing with armadillos.

They dig with their noses and prefer loose soil, so you’ll notice upturned plants and shallow holes if they’re around. They are drawn to your yard by the smell of food. To keep them away, get rid of food sources, thick undergrowth, and wood piles.
