My neighbor trapped "my" armadillo. They get in periodically by burrowing
under the fence, and they can do a tremendous amount of damage (as everyone
from Texas already knows). My neighbor built his own "hav-a-hart" trap
because the metal traps intended for cats and dogs are too weak -- an
armadillo can tear one apart. The one he built is very heavy, and is also
large with plenty of air space. He takes the 'dillos to some land he owns
that is several miles from town (and with no close neighbors to annoy).
These things will return to the same territory unless they are transported a
considerable distance, and of course it is important not to take them
someplace where we would simply transfer the problem to someone else.

I posted 2 pictures in alt.binaries.pictures.animals -- one to show the
critter close-up and one to show how the box is made.  As soon as we opened
the trap so I could get a close-up picture, the armadillo started to climb
up the side.  That's the first time I ever knew that a 'dillo could climb
straight up a wood wall.  I doubt if they can climb very far, but it was an
interesting sight.
