Don’t armadillos eat ants?

Fire ants have spread further north. So have armadillos. Seems they are following those pests.

I would absolutely protect the armadillo to control those damn nasty ants.

Now that the rains have returned to Texas after several years of drought conditions, I have seen western harvester ants and the Texas Horned Lizard make a return.

Fire ants had driven them out. I guess fire ants don’t like a lot of rain.

But we have plenty of all types of ants. The armadillos are welcome to them.

You do know armadillos can carry leprosy.

Spread some Diatomaceous Earth across the top of the nest. It will wipe them out.
