Dan from Jacksonville, Florida writes

I just purchased your live trap for armadillos. Any suggestions on how to bait them?

Some said don't use bait as it won't work, others say use worms in a nylon stocking. Do I need to "funnel" them into the trap from an entrance point with boards, or some kind of fence? Any assistance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I just moved to Florida and have never had to deal with armadillo's and their digging. Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

Answer:

Havahart recommends the following baits to attract armadillos: Use a small plate to place the bait at the end of the live armadillo trap.   ◊ Meal worms ◊ Maggots ◊ Spoiled meat ◊ Sardines ◊ Overripe fruit ◊ Fish
