Most armadillo damage occurs as a result of their rooting in lawns, vegetable gardens, and flower beds. Characteristic signs of armadillo activity are shallow holes, 1 to 3 inches deep and 3 to 5 inches which are dug in search of food. They also uproot flowers and other ornamental plants.Helpful Reply -

Armadillos, like skunks, are looking for grubs, worms, bugs, etc. they don't eat the plants, they just make a destructive mess. You need to control the food source: get rid of the grubs and bugs.Helpful Reply -
