This invader has been here for quite a while - The Armadillo is the original "Dig We Must Crew"
The catz and dog went wild one Summer Night. The "digger" was working on a burrow under the lanai { porch }deck. He was digging away under the shrubbery and in an inaccessible place.
So... I took a plastic pipe about 2" ( 5 cm) in diameter and placed it through the bushes and into the hole.
Five moth balls (

The strong smell ran him off ...for now!!
The armadillo has been identified as the
carrier of leprosy in geographic areas where the disease exists.
