Meet The Owner
My name is Josh Russell, owner of The Armadillo Trap. Since taking over from Fred White in 2014 (after working with him from day one), we've helped over 10,000+ families eliminate their armadillo problems and achieve the damage-free lawns they deserve.
I know what it's like to wake up every morning to new holes in your yard, watch your lawn repair costs climb into the hundreds, and feel frustrated when pest control companies quote you $450+ just to assess the problem with no guarantee of results. The anger when those wire traps sit empty night after night is real.
That's why I helped create a proven system to:
- Catch armadillos 8X faster using our wood scent-retention technology (Mississippi State University verified)
- Save you thousands compared to ongoing pest control services - one trap, one investment, problem solved
- Give you back the beautiful lawn and peace of mind you deserve, permanently
The Original Wooden Armadillo Trap
Wood is the Key to Success
The Armadillo Trap isn't just another pest control product - it's the result of 20 years perfecting the only trap that truly works. While others sell ineffective wire cages or expensive monthly services, we offer a one-time solution backed by university research and thousands of success stories.
There is no better material to use for a scent-based trap than wood. Metal traps of any kind simply cannot absorb and retain the odor of Armadillo, essential to successful captures. We only use pressure-treated plywood, which absorbs and holds scent without rotting. The scent only gets stronger with each capture, as the wood retains the odors from the previous catch.
No rocket science or bait is needed. Our traps work on the simple fact that Armadillos are attracted to each other, and when they smell the scent of another, they WILL enter the trap and get captured. By leaving the Armadillo in the trap for a few hours after capture, they will secrete more scent (which is absorbed by the wood), and your trap becomes even more effective. The more Armadillos you trap, the more effective the trap becomes. It's that simple.
