[Villages Kahuna]

A landscape service person told me today that there are certain parts of The Villages where homeowners suffer from lots of damage from armadillos! I asked if she meant the round, "armored" animals that I thought were residents of Texas and the desert states. She answered that the Villages pests were one in the same. She explained that people go out and find their lawn and particularly planting beds all torn up when the pests root around for subterranean bugs, worms and so forth.

I had never heard of such a problem outside of Texas, where the greater problem there is that the little animals run on the highways and become traffic hazards. Has anyone actually seen and armadillo or experienced their damage here in The Villages?
