Armadillos were used to develop treatments for leprosy at Carville, LA

So are mosquitoes, coral snakes, and giant cockroaches.

T.V. does a pretty good job of controlling the mosquitoes, and so far I haven't seen a snake of any type, much less a poisonous one. Far fewer giant cockroaches than Texas, too

Think we ought to ask them to quit messing with our ecosystem and bring 'em all back?

Re: haven't seen a snake of any type.
Most successful wild life is camouflaged so as not to be seen. I've lost count on how many snakes I've seen. I'm sure I've looked right at many and not seen them. I saw a black piece of hose in my garden. I touched it with my hoe and it got up and left.

Armadillo repellent or havahart trap and relocate it to Ocala National forest. I had an opossum and had it relocated to the Ocala National forest - cost me $200 to relocate it

Here where we live we have issues with armadillos, so we get a cage trap and remove the that way. Works well
