Armadillo Removal in Orlando & Central Florida
Stop Armadillos From Tearing Up Your Yard and Digging Burrows
Armadillos have become a common sight in Central Florida neighborhoods. They root through lawns and landscape beds in search of insects and can dig extensive burrows under foundations, AC pads, walkways, and fences. These burrows can undermine structures and create tripping hazards, while constant digging can quickly turn a nice lawn into a patchwork of holes.
Gato Lawn & Pest Control offers armadillo removal and burrow management for Orlando and Central Florida properties, helping protect your yard and structures from ongoing damage.

Armadillo Damage in Central Florida
Typical armadillo problems include:
- Cone-shaped holes in lawns where they dig for grubs and insects
- Burrows under concrete pads, porches, or steps
- Disturbed mulch beds and uprooted plants
- Soil pushed against foundations and AC pads
Because armadillos are persistent diggers, these issues tend to get worse over time if not addressed.
Gato’s Armadillo Control Process
1. Property inspection
We inspect for active burrows, travel paths, and feeding areas and assess the risk to structures, irrigation, and landscaping.
2. Humane trapping and removal
Gato uses species-appropriate, humane trapping methods to remove armadillos from the property.
3. Burrow management
Once armadillos are removed, we can advise on filling and stabilizing burrows to reduce collapse or settling.
4. Habitat and attractant recommendations
We provide guidance on reducing soil pests, adjusting irrigation, and making landscaping less attractive to armadillos.
Protecting Your Yard from Future Armadillo Damage
To help deter armadillos:
- Avoid over-watering, which can increase grub populations
- Keep mulch depth moderate and not piled directly against foundations
- Address existing insect problems in lawns and beds
- Consider barriers or fencing around sensitive planting areas
Gato can work with your lawn and landscape program to create a plan that balances plant health and armadillo deterrence.
