Oh, Jean.... Armadillos. Augh! Get a DOG! 'Dillos are the absolute
WORST pest for diggin! I'll ask my mom while she's here visiting to see
what my dad did to keep them from the yard. We had one that lived in
his back daylilly bed, and a possum that slept under the hydrangea in
the front yard. Don't know how he did it, but he always managed to keep
them satisfied. I bet the spray would work. Armadillos, though darn
near blind, have an acute sense of smell... I'd bet the clove oil would
be way too strong for their delicate senses.
