Re: armadillos

Hi Jean - here in Arkansas, we control armadillos by controlling grubs in the
lawn. Best way is to spray the lawn with diazonon - I do it twice a year. I
don't like using chemicals but it IS the only way to keep the armadillo digs in
check. I was worried that the diazonon would affect my worms in the lawn but it
doesn't seem to do so - or they have great recovery powers. Good luck.
