Armadillo usually make triangular holes. They also make a little bigger hole than a skunk. It is one way to tell the difference.

FYI - I have trapped many dozens of armadillos over the years and they are a mess to a yard.

How do you get them to go into traps? I've tried making a funnel with boards but haven't caught any

Find their hole. They love the corners at my house.

At that point, it's easy - yes, just funnel them into the trap.

Funneling works. They dig under my fence, so I know where they are going. I funnel them into the trap at the holes. You can also try to find a burrow, as zephyr pointed out. Then funnel them there.

Also - these traps are amazing and are scented. This is what I have used. Easier and better than a live trap: https://thearmadillotrap.com/

Pretty sure they're coming from the adjacent farmland. There's a canal that is just on the other side of my property line w a bunch of rose hedge and stuff in it. I think they are coming from there but can't find the hole

Will second finding their paths and funneling them. Caught one last week after he'd gone through my front yard a couple of times. Placed a Havahart 1079 up against the hole under my fence he was using and he wandered in after a couple of days. Caught two possums, a rabbit, and a kitten using the same hole too.

That's dillo rooting. Good luck with that. We back up to a wetlands and creek with thick forest and yaupon, so our neighborhood is infested. As others have mentioned, you have to herd them or funnel them, they won't come to baited traps on their own very well. I treated my yard for grubs for several years, didn't seem to change anything for me, but we are overrun with them. Such a cool animal, just stay out of the wife's flour beds and the lawn for Pete's sake.

Ain't gotta get ready if you stay ready

It's a stink'n armadillo!!!

Nice set up. Details?
