The CK Daily – Allergies & Armadillos
Good Morning & Happy Tuesday! Hope everyone is having a great start to the week! I am STRUGGLING with allergies this week, but we got a bit of rain over the weekend and are supposed to get a bit more today which definitely seems to help!
I’m trying to get my yard in shape for Spring and spent some time over the weekend pulling weeds that are starting to pop up in the flower beds! I plan to spruce them up a bit more with some fresh mulch and maybe a few more flowers when the big box stores have their Spring sales which I expect will happen soon!
While working in the yard, I noticed a lot of spots in the sod that have been dug up. The holes look like they were freshly dug, and they are just holes (not tunnels). I was pretty perplexed by them but did a little bit of research and my best guess is that an armadillo is the culprit! In researching further, I learned that they like to live near streams and they prefer sandy or clay soils. My yard checks both of those boxes, so it seems like it would be a perfect habitat for these guys! I also learned that armadillos in Georgia are classified as both an exotic species and a pest. I never remember seeing armadillos until recent years and certainly never thought I’d be having to deal with them damaging my yard! They are a pest, indeed!
I’m currently on the hunt for ways to get rid of the armadillo, or at least have him stop digging holes in my yard. Unfortunately, much of what I’ve read has been a bit discouraging. Some people say to treat the yard with an insecticide to get rid of the grubs that they’re going after, while others say there’s really nothing that will work. If you’ve successfully dealt with this problem, please send what worked for you!
