Managing expectations for success of capturing nuisance armadillos

Here are a few sample outcomes from typical scenarios.

• Armadillos that are frequently active and take somewhat predictable paths can usually be caught in a short amount of time using NoDillo Scented Traps and experienced based techniques. 
• If you are only dealing with a solo, transient armadillo that is occasionally taking random paths through your property, we might get lucky sooner than later but the reality is that you will need to play the long game. Activity monitoring may lead to changing the location of NoDillo Scented Traps amongst other experienced based techniques the Armadillo Guy uses that can be applied. Networking with neighbors that live closer to the sources where the armadillos are coming from can greatly expedite the process and offer a higher probability of success.  
• Armadillos are generally less active in the colder months and after soaking rains. They tend to stay closer to their burrows and only occasionally cause damage to your property. Its more work, but doing additional detective work and trying to locate where their burrows are can greatly increase the success of catching them. Otherwise, you are back to playing the long game by strategically placing NoDillo Scented Traps that can sit for days, weeks or longer. 
• If your property borders the suspected source of where they are coming from, your chances are very high to catch them quickly with a NoDillo Scented Trap. Don't get too excited just yet. Those bordering rural areas are likely to have more transient armadillos attempt to move in over time. That's understandably not what you want to hear, but these types of property owners should consider owning their own NoDillo trap or being on a long-term management plan. 
• If your property does not border the suspected source of where a burrow may be such as being in a neighborhood surrounded by other houses, we can still capture and manage nuisance armadillos. The most effective management plan is to get them at the source. In this scenario, it can be very helpful to discuss the problem with neighbors that border suspected armadillo burrows. These neighbors may want to share expenses, agree to have traps set on their property, take steps to make their property less accessible or desirable to armadillos etc.
