A lack of appropriate food and habitat and the presence of deep-dug slant-fences, live traps (baited with earthworm- and fruit-filled nylon stockings) and strong smells deter armadillos from digging in flower beds. The animals in question (Dasypus spp) feed upon ground-dwelling arthropods, whose presence can be controlled by pesticides, and need as shelter higher-growing grasses, whose height can be controlled by severe mowing. They stay away from such strong smells as those of ammonia, garlic, mothballs, predator urine and vinegar.
