Armadillos? ha-ha-ha-ha....I know it isn't funny to you, but it sounds
funny up here, in the great Northwest.
You'd probably get a chuckle out of what the elk can do to a yard here,
too.
The clove oil doesn't smell the place up. My tongue was fuzzy feeling
after misting it, but the spray was blown onto me from the breeze. I
couldn't smell anything, and you only MIST the place, not DOUSE it. Any
of the herb-y ones would work, just don't use SWEET smelling stuff like
vanilla ( or so I would assume...).
Good luck.
