Pond Boss Forums Thread Like Summary - Dam Burrowing

54 acre lake in Tennessee with a well built, well maintained 20 year old dam. State inspects it every July due to it being a category 1 dam. We are seeing more armadillo activity in our area and we see signs of their tunneling on the down side of the dam. Obviously they can do some quick damage. We own a 10 acre lot in the development and it amazes me what they can do in just one night. Any ideas on how to control their activity in regards to dam integrity? Chemicals, smoke?

Talked to my buddy last night and he said the "thearmadillotrap.com" guy was great to do business with and said they even sell bags of armadillo scat so that you can bait/scent your own DIY traps.

One piece of advise he mentioned was to leave the recently trapped armadillo in the trap for a day or two before removing it so that it reinforces the trap's smell...BUT don't let it die. Apparently, that scent ruins the works. Place it in the shade and give it some water.
