Nearly every night, an armadillo (possibly more than one) visits my garden. I've stayed up past 2 a.m. the past three nights to catch a glimpse of him, which is very hard for me since I normally konk out at 9 p.m. However, I have not seen the beast. So, this evening I sprinkled chili powder all through the beds. Will this keep armadillos away? If not, how do I catch (dispatch) him? I've also considered stringing some sort of noisemakers to alert me to his presence.

Any ideas from those who know about this troublesome pest?

No, but you want to get rid of him. Armadillos are one of the many reasons for the rise in leprosy cases in the west and south. Google "armadillo and leprosy".

My neighbor also told me about armadillos and leprosy. The chili powder trick worked last night, but I don't see that as a long-term fix.
