Thank you for your help. It is starting to sound like shooting it may be my only option :( Just read your link, very scary. I have been replacing the soil, mulch and plants dug up in the area the armadillo has been digging up by hand! I will be wearing gloves and using a hoe from now on.:/

I agree-both Jared and Chris-wonderful Hosta's! The purple plant is a coral bell-Thank you Stubbornhillfarm for the ID on that plant.

Thank you for the link!

I may have to borrow your concrete critter, maybe that would get him in the trap.

Thank You, these links will help!:frow

Thanks, I am going to give it a good try, I do not want to hurt him, if at all possiable.

Thank you for your help.:)

He certainly is doing some damage.:( All my mulch is getting thrown out on the lawn, plants dug up, seeds distrubed, holes dug all over the lawn. It looks like a few hundred land mines went off. I just want to try first and see if I can catch him alive.

I do not want to hurt the little guy. I have a seperate 6 acre property, 65 miles away, with nothing but trees and hay, no flower or veggie gardens. Has a water well, and "The Llama, Jerry Seinfield", who will eat plastic plants, and stands in the water trough, to keep him company. This is where...

Wow, that sounds awesome, and a huge undertaking. :bow I had always dreamed of owning and restoring a historic home. This is my first. If I had the means, I would do a few more! I am afraid I would want to keep them all though. I love and collect Antiques, of all kinds. Right now, I am working...

Lol. Thanks. They really are cute, I am from NYC, so I was amazed to see them for the first time. Along with chickens, they are one of the many animals that make me believe that the dinosours did not become extinct, they just bred down to a more managable size. I read where you are restoring a...

:heI have an armadillo digging up my garden beds. I have a live trap set, I placed it in a flower bed with lots of mulch, that I have watered well, he is digging there, but will not go into the trap. I have put worms in, and bananas, but the ants keep getting anything I put in. I hope someone...

Your Hosta's are gorgeous. I want to try some myself. I like the full leafed ones, as opposed to the strap leaf ones. I saw some with pretty little purple flower stalks, they lined each side of a sidewalk, so the flowers stood out as much as the leaves do. Do only certain ones produce the...

My Grandma had a poodle that could sniff out any underground critter, and she would dig them up and play with them until they were no more. She only had to dig one hole to get them, she must have been able to figure out when they were in their "den". My Grandma worried she would get bit, but she...

Thank you for the great tips! I will surely apply them here.

So sorry for your bulb loss, lesa and vfem. Lets not get discouraged, and try again, using the wire mesh this time! ;) My first home, I had a horriable Deer problem, they even ate the plants that were toxic! But I did not give up, I sold my house and moved! Just kidding, I only moved because I...

I had not thought of the underground critters. Do they still dig from the top to get bulbs, or do they come up from the bottom?

I think you are right lesa. I was not sure if squirrels eat caladiums, but I did have a family of squirrels in my attic this year, and I had to have my exterminator come to evict them, there were 11 of them! I even saw a squirrel laying on one of my porch columns, eating pinecones! (I had no...

Thanks for the Info! :)

I planted 50 caladium bulbs last April under a shady china berry tree. They were stunning. I dug my bulbs in october, and stored them in my laundry room,in old wood framed and wire bottom incubator trays(they allow air flow and stack up) temperature stayed around 70. When I planted the bubls...
