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.

Simple & Effective

Your Armadillo Problem Solved In 3 Easy Steps

No complicated setup. No harmful chemicals. Just proven results that work night after night.

STEP 1

Position Your Trap

Place the wooden trap along active armadillo paths—usually near damaged areas or along fences. The natural wood scent attracts curious armadillos.

Look for 3-4 inch wide paths in grass

STEP 2

Let Nature Work

Armadillos are naturally curious and will investigate the wooden structure is scented. The one- way door system allows entry but prevents escape—completely hands-free.

Most captures within 24–72 hours

STEP 3

Relocate Safely

Once captured, simply transport the armadillo to a suitable location far from your property. The trap's design makes this process safe for both you and the animal.

100% humane—no harm to armadillos

Why Wood Makes All the Difference

Natural Scent Retention

Wood absorbs and holds armadillo scent, making each trap more attractive over time

Weather Resistant

Durable construction withstands outdoor elements while maintaining effectiveness

Field-Proven Design

Refined over years of testing to maximize capture rates and minimize escapes

Still Not Sure? Here's What Homeowners Ask

"Won't armadillos just avoid the trap?"

Not with our pre-scented traps. Mississippi State University found our trap caught 23 armadillos while standard wire traps caught only 3. The scent mimics their natural food source, drawing them straight in.

"Can't I just use a cheaper wire cage trap?"

You could - but you'll be waiting weeks longer and catching possums, raccoons, and cats instead. Our wooden design with raised doors prevents wrong catches, saving you time and frustration.

"What if I don't catch the armadillo?"

We've got you covered. Try it risk-free for 90 days. If you still do not catch an armadillo after following the instructions, watching our tutorial videos, and calling us for support, we will issue a refund. Over 10,370 homeowners have trusted our trap - we're confident you will too.

"Is it hard to set up?"

Takes less than 5 minutes. No tools required. Just follow the instructions and tutorial videos included with every trap.

"Will it hurt the armadillo?"

No. This is a humane live trap. The armadillo walks in unharmed and stays safe until you relocate it. Traps should be check every morning!

"What if I catch something else by accident?"

The overall design of our wooden traps dramatically reduces unwanted catches. The MSU study confirmed "the incidence of unwanted species captured was also greatly reduced using the wooden trap."

Our story

17+

Years of Experience

Workshop

Crafting

Hey, I'm Josh Russell

Look, I know $219 isn't pocket change. But let me put this in perspective:

I've been making armadillo traps for 17 years, starting when I first joined Fred White, the founder and inventor of the Original Wooden Armadillo Trap.

I worked alongside Fred through the development and production of these proprietary wooden traps, learning everything about what makes them work. When Fred retired in 2014, I took over the business. And since then, I've shipped 10,000+ traps from my workshop in Sumrall, Mississippi.

What makes our traps special? Wood, and our proprietary design. Wood traps work dramatically better than metal ones. In fact, Mississippi State University confirmed that my wooden traps capture about 8X as many armadillos as traditional wire traps.

I've spent years studying armadillo behavior, testing different designs, and refining my approach. Every trap that leaves my workshop is made from treated plywood, cut and assembled with care. It's not just about building traps-it's about understanding these creatures and what really works.

Today, The Armadillo Trap has helped over 10,000 families protect their property. Every trap is still built with the same care and attention to detail as that very first one. Because I know exactly how frustrating armadillo damage can be—and how good it feels to finally solve the problem.

My Personal Promise

I stand behind every trap I make. If my trap doesn’t solve your armadillo problem, I’ll personally help you until it does. Or, I’ll make it right with a replacement or full refund. That’s not just a guarantee - it’s how I’ve always done business for nearly two decades.
