Robbie,
We also are having some serious problems with armadillos in our food plots. Not sure how to control them other than a brute force approach in the dark of night. Of course that's probably not going to play well with the deer and possible hunting success.
Hope everything else is going well for you and the girls!!

Try the granules for ticks it also gets rid of grubs and ants that armadillos eat. It worked in my yard so it should work on food plots.
I like that idea. I've heard of similar methods to get rid of moles, so it seems fair that it would work with the dillos too.
Next questions -
How expensive is it to treat large areas?
Are there any negative side effects to getting rid of your grub/ant populations?
I would think that they help aerate the soil like worms due, and probably have some sort of fertilizing benefit as well.
