Received the scented trap last week and have already caught 2 armadillos

Amazing is too modest a word for this trap. I have tried many different methods with no success. Received the scented trap last week and have already caught 2 armadillos. I had a camera aimed at the trap & it worked exactly like the videos on the website. Worth every penny.

Education

How It Works

Simple 4-Step Success Process

Find The Path

2 minutes

Find The Path

Look for paths along fences, foundations, or garden edges. Armadillos are creatures of habit - they use the same routes nightly. Fresh damage = active highway.

Place Your Trap

30 seconds

Place Your Trap

Set trap(s) flush against fence or structure. Make sure it's level and in shade if possible. The armadillo should naturally funnel into it.

Open Both Doors

5 seconds

Open Both Doors

Doors are pre-rigged with our hair-trigger system. Just open the doors and set the trigger. That's it. No bait needed (the scent is already working).

Check Every Morning

2 seconds

Check Every Morning

Armadillos are active at night. Check your trap each morning. When you catch one, transport in the trap itself for relocation. Never handle it directly. (See instructions)

Have Questions?

Everything You Need to Know Before You Buy

Get answers to the most common questions about The Armadillo Trap

Our pre-scented armadillo trap is made from real armadillo pheromones from live armadillos - not bait that spoils or needs replacing. When armadillos detect these territorial scent markers, their instinct compels them to investigate, walking directly into the trap. The pheromone coating remains active for 6-11 months, even in rain. The trap becomes more effective with each catch.

Built to Last Years, Not Seasons:

  • Dimensions: 32"L x 12"W x 12"H
  • Weight: 30 lbs
  • Materials: 3/4" pressure-treated plywood body with marine-grade plywood doors
  • Hardware: Aluminum trigger plate with galvanized trip rod - won't rust or corrode
  • Weather Resistance: No warping, splitting, or swelling - customers report using the same trap for 10+ years

Easy setup in 5 minutes or less

Very little assembly required (arrives fully built and ready); includes step-by-step video guide, detailed instructions, and direct phone access to Joshua (the owner) at (601) 408-1070 for personalized placement advice.

  1. Take it out of the box
  2. Place it along a fence line, foundation, or where you see armadillo damage
  3. Pull down the trip rod to set the trigger
  4. Check it each morning - that's it


You'll get a step-by-step video guide, detailed instructions, and direct phone access to Josh (the owner) at (601) 408-1070 for personalized help on where to place your trap.

Why Wood Outperforms Wire:

Wire traps can't hold scent. Metal doesn't absorb anything, so armadillos have no reason to investigate. Our wooden construction soaks up and retains armadillo pheromones naturally, creating a powerful scent trail that gets stronger every time you catch one. Armadillos follow their nose into the dark tunnel, and the species-specific trigger does the rest.
