Armadillos...

Yea, that didn't work. My wife hired a guy to trap it(he came highly recommended) and he put traps around for a week or so and nothing. I don't know anything about these animals, never lived anywhere they do. He came and got the traps last week, and put some "armadillo repellent" all around. He said the critter has probably moved on. Sounds like a nice gig if you can get it!

One outfit she called wanted seven hundred bucks to get rid of it. Now I'm no expert mind you, and I have no idea what the going rate for an armadillo extraction is, but that seems to me to be a bit high. I mean, you can't really do anything with the hide, can you? And I don't think the meat's worth anything, although admittedly, I've never partaken, so I suppose it good be considered a delicacy?

At any rate, the thing's done quite a bit of damage.
