Farmer's Market

[DianaB]

I've got an armadillo that's digging in my yard too. Any ideas on how to get rid of it? I'm too tired at night to go out with a flashlight and a gun!!!!

Diana, I'm with you on the tired! Harold told me that pouring human urine will keep them out. I reminded him that it hasn't stopped them where he goes out back! And, when I have to go, I have to go - no time to grab a container!

[DianaB]

That sounds interesting, Sandy. I'm going to have to think on that one for awhile.

Maybe you have to pee on the armadillo!

I had a critter that chewed quite a nice chunk of my deck wall. There isn't a hole though. I think I'll have to fill the chunk though.

As long as there are no bears on my deck, I'm good. Jessie and Steve saw one running down the highway last week.

I had an armadillo that kept eating my caladiums. So I quit planting caladiums. Haven't seen the critter or evidence of him since.

I don't know how to get rid of armadillos. My daughter said one had been rooting around in their yard too.

Oh, now I remember something. I heard on the gardening show that they are rooting for grubs, and if you get rid of the grubs, they won't root up the yard. Of course, that didn't help with them eating Marilyn's caladiums, now did it!

[DianaB]

I knew that they ate grubs but there's no way to get rid of them in the yard. Once Glen gets the fence completely up they won't be able to get in without digging under it. Another Aunt and Uncle live in Texas and they go out with a flashlight and a gun. One holds the flashlight while the other shoots!!! We may have to try that one!!!
