Setting an Armadillo Trap

Trapping is one way to catch troublesome armadillos. Retired UT Extension Agent Mike Dennison shows how to modify a live animal trap to catch armadillos by adding wings. Armadillos are not the smartest animal and instead of baiting a trap you just need to funnel the animal into the trap. Mike shows how to attach wings using wire or zip ties. He also shows how to use a fence as one wing of the trap.
