best armadillo live trap and bait

An armadillo has been making his rounds in my flower beds every couple of nights for the last three weeks. I put a trap in its path last night(got from animal control)and used earthworms as bait. Unfortunately I did not have success even though there were armadillo holes right next to the trap. What do you recommend for traps? The one I have is about 8 x 8 and maybe 24 inches long. He is following the same pattern over and over. I know just where he’s traveling and I’m thinking about one of the kill traps or a larger live cage. Please advise – Jason

I bet he’s digging up grubs. Get the LT111230 TRAP and bait it with some GRUB LURE. Armadillos love this stuff. Put a teaspoonful on the trip pan of the trap along with a few dabs right at the trap entrance. Armadillo can miss trap entrances so it’s important you lead them in.
