Armadillos Destroy the Yard | Using Live Traps to Catch Pests | Pay Dirt
Pay Dirt • 12m
S2.E14. Roger Culpepper uses live traps to remove armadillos from Realtree Farms. These little rodents are causing too many problems. This might get interesting.
0:10 Culpepper goes to Rural King (https://www.ruralking.com) and purchases several traps. They're plan? Catch and relocate some of these pesky armadillos.
1:15 Armadillos will make a mess of a lawn by digging and scavenging for food. That's happening everywhere on Realtree Farms.
2:30 Culpepper begins setting the trap. He uses wire edging material to funnel the armadillos into the cage. Ever hunt funnels and pinch points while deer hunting? Yeah, it's the same concept.
5:45 We take a look at a featured property that's for sale, courtesy of Realtree United Country (https://realtreeuc.com/).
6:45 The next morning, Culpepper checks his trap, and realizes he caught a big one. It's relocated somewhere it won't dig up the lawn anymore.
8:15 Culpepper discovers an armadillo den closeby, and inspects it to see if it's being occupied. It is, and he sets up another trap.
11:30 Culpepper deploys a Stealth Cam (https://www.stealthcam.com/) in an attempt to record some live action. They get it.
