"Alison" wrote in message ... oups.com... Because "Plan A" was a miserable failure. Armadillos aren't a new thing around here, we have them pretty often. But I now have a young one that is completely destroying the yard. DH is plenty upset but respects my "live and let live" attitude toward wildlife and doesn't even mention killing it. But he did say it has to go. I've been chasing it out of the yard, thinking it will "learn" to stay outside the fence. First lesson was, "armadillos don't learn." Sherry.
