Armadillo Removal in Lakewood Park, FL
Armadillo trapping and burrow control for Lakewood Park yards — we remove the digger with directional trapping and close the burrows under your lawn, lanai and shed.
Why armadillos are common in Lakewood Park
Lakewood Park is exactly the kind of place armadillos thrive: large lots backing onto pine flatwoods and grassy swales north of Fort Pierce, with soft ground and endless grubs. Our armadillo removal service pinpoints the animal tearing up your yard, gets it out, and closes the burrows so the nightly digging finally ends.
Homes here sit against pine flatwoods and open swales, and that woodland edge is armadillo country. Loose, well-drained soil under the pines and along the retention-lake margins stays soft and full of beetle larvae, so a foraging armadillo has little reason to leave the neighborhood once it finds a good lawn.
The animal roots through the turf all night, tipping its nose into the ground and flipping soil wherever grubs are near the surface. When it wants shelter it excavates a long burrow beneath a lanai, shed or swale bank, then treats that tunnel as a base, expanding its dig zone outward across the lot.
Bait won’t catch an armadillo — it hunts live grubs underground. Directional funnel-boarding along its own path is what works.
Signs of a armadillo problem in Lakewood Park
In Lakewood Park, these are the signs it's time to call — before the damage spreads.
Fresh divots edging the tree line
The heaviest cone-shaped holes appear where your lawn meets the pine flatwoods, since that is where the armadillo enters from cover and starts rooting each night.
A tunnel under the lanai or shed
You spot a rounded burrow opening tucked beneath a screened lanai, shed floor or swale bank, with a spray of pale sand fanned out at the entrance.
Torn-up swale grass
The grassy swale between properties shows fresh rooting and loosened turf, since the moist, low ground there holds grubs the armadillo works over repeatedly.
Spotting any of these in your Lakewood Park home? The sooner we inspect, the less damage spreads — and the inspection is free.
Our armadillo removal process in Lakewood Park
Four steps, one call — inspection, humane removal, sealing and follow-up, all documented.
Track & assess
We identify active burrows and travel routes and evaluate any structural risk to slabs and foundations.
Strategic live-trapping
Traps are placed and funneled along the armadillo’s own paths — the technique that actually catches trap-shy diggers.
Burrow exclusion
Once removed, burrows near structures are collapsed and blocked to prevent re-denning.
Prevention advice
We advise on grub control and barrier options so the yard stops being a feeding ground.

Call for same-day service · (772) 227-1522What armadillo digging does to your lot
Cratered lawns overnight
A single armadillo roots dozens of cone-shaped holes across a lawn in a few nights, hitting the softest, grub-rich turf near the flatwoods edge first.
Burrows under lanais & sheds
It excavates tunnels up to fifteen feet long beneath a screened lanai, shed or slab, undermining the structure as it widens the den.
Repeat damage
Armadillos return to the same lot night after night, so filled holes reappear by morning until the animal itself is removed.
Keeping armadillos away from Lakewood Park homes
Removing the armadillo is half the work. These steps keep the next one out of your Lakewood Park home.
Apply a grub treatment across the lawn and swale so the armadillo loses its reason to keep rooting.
Sink hardware-cloth aprons along shed skirting and lanai edges to stop burrowing under structures.
Keep brush and dense ground cover trimmed back from the tree-line edge where armadillos enter.
Collapse and backfill each burrow after removal so it does not become a den for the next one.
If wildlife returns through a spot we sealed, we come back at no charge. Satisfaction Guaranteed — If our exclusion fails, we take responsibility.
Why the digging surges after summer rain
On Lakewood Park’s sandy, wooded lots the worst armadillo damage comes after summer storms soak the flatwoods and swales, floating grubs up to the surface. Activity carries through most of the year in the mild climate, so a lawn cleared in winter can be re-rooted once the rainy season resoftens the ground.
