Understanding the differences between skunks and armadillos is essential for homeowners who wish to keep these animals out of their yards. Our team is dedicated to preventing armadillos from burrowing under decks, in crawl spaces, and within sheds and providing strategies to deter skunks.
Identifying the Culprit: Skunk or Armadillo?
Both skunks and armadillos can cause significant disturbances in your yard, but their behaviors and habits differ greatly. Skunks are known for their strong odor and nocturnal foraging for food, while armadillos are notorious for their digging, which can lead to unsightly holes in your lawn.
Armadillos dig to search for insects, grubs, and other small invertebrates. Their burrowing can undermine plant roots and create holes that impact your yard’s aesthetics and health. Understanding how to get rid of armadillos effectively requires a multi-faceted approach focusing on prevention, removal, and exclusion.
Skunks are attracted to areas where food is readily available. They tend to rummage through garbage, pet food, and fallen fruit. Learning how to deter skunks involves eliminating these food sources and creating a less-inviting environment.
Excluding Armadillos From Key Areas
To effectively stop armadillos from digging holes in your yard, exclusion is a critical first step. Here are some strategies Urban Jungle uses to prevent armadillos from burrowing under decks, in crawl spaces, and in sheds:
- Entry point sealing: Identify and seal any gaps or holes that could be entry points. Armadillos can squeeze through surprisingly small spaces, but durable materials like hardware cloth or heavy-duty mesh can block these openings.
- Deck and shed management: Keep decks and sheds clean and organized, eliminating clutter that could provide shelter for armadillos. Installing barriers around these structures can further prevent access.
- Crawl space protection: Armadillos often dig into crawl spaces for shelter. Installing a secure cover over access points is essential to keep these animals out.
Armadillo Fencing and Prevention
Installing a fence can be an effective way to deter armadillos and keep skunks out of your yard. A well-constructed fence should be at least 18 inches high and buried 12 inches underground to prevent digging. When you call Urban Jungle, we can use sturdy materials like chain-link or welded wire and angle the fence outward for additional protection.
