Why Us
Why Columbus Picks Jarrod's for Armadillo Removal
Free Inspection, Price First
Your technician finds the burrows and the paths the armadillo travels. The inspection and estimate are free, and you get the price before any work starts.
Traps Built for Armadillos
Armadillos are strong enough to wreck light traps, so we use reinforced steel cage traps. We move the traps as needed until we catch the armadillo. Then we release it in a remote area.
Same-Day and Next-Day Service
Most armadillo calls get a technician out the same day or the next. Our wildlife technicians are licensed in Georgia and Alabama, and we've trapped armadillos around Columbus since 2009.
Armadillos Dig at Night
Armadillos feed after dark, so most homeowners find the damage in the morning. Look for shallow holes about 3 to 5 inches wide and plants pulled up by the roots. A larger burrow by a slab or sidewalk means the armadillo may be living there.
Stacey C.Oct 2026 Very customer friendly, listens intently to any issues that may have come up since last treatment. Works quickly and efficiently.

Mike J.Oct 2026 
D.J. S.Oct 2026 James notifies me the day before he is coming. I appreciate this courtesy, because it gives me a heads up before I am notified by the cameras that someone is in my yard. He sprays all of the designated areas each time he comes. It must be working, because I have not had any bugs inside of the house.
RickeyOct 2026 The service is always done on time and on the day they say there will be at the house. If we have questions they always take the time to talk to us. Great job today.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to Your Armadillo Removal Questions
Here is what Columbus homeowners ask us most.
How much does armadillo removal cost?
It depends on how many armadillos there are, where they burrow and how long trapping takes. Your technician inspects first and gives you the price before any work starts. The estimate is free.
How fast can you come out?
We offer same-day and next-day service across Columbus, Phenix City, Auburn and the rest of the Chattahoochee Valley. Call us and we'll give you the first open time.
Is it safe to handle an armadillo?
No. Armadillos can carry leprosy, and people can catch it by handling them. They also have long, sharp claws for digging. Leave the trapping and handling to a licensed technician.
How do I know an armadillo is digging in my yard?
Look for holes about 3 to 5 inches wide and 1 to 3 inches deep, plus uprooted plants. Burrow entrances are larger, about 7 to 10 inches across. You often find them next to a slab, sidewalk or shrub.
Why are armadillos so hard to catch?
Armadillos are strong enough to wreck light traps, so we use reinforced professional models. They are also hard to lure, so your technician may need to move the traps a few times. Your technician will tell you what to expect for your yard.
