Armadillo invasion: any suggestions?

Well, yesterday, a neighborhood kid did a bang-up job on my lawn. It looked so good that last night, a damned armdillo couldn't resist digging it up looking for grub worms or mole crickets, I suppose. I don't think I have either, which probably explains why he gave it up after about a dozen test holes. Is there any kind of a product that will discourage them?

    .22 rifle with short rounds. Work's great.

    Shame on you, you beast! Can you imagine the shock to Alex' delicate green psyche from the horrible image of wanton carnage your suggestion invokes!?

    Yeah, but the damned armadillo would be gone!

    Well, he did not return last night so I reckon my guess that I did not have any grubs or mole crickets was correct. That Ortho-MAX broad spectrum lawn insecticde I applied (more correctly, my housekeeper applied) about 6 weeks ago must have worked. Come to think of it, I've had no more visits from the neighborhood mole lately either.

Please keep it clean and reasonably civil. "Public figures" are fair game, consistent with the "actual malice" exception. I suggest you Google both terms before you go off half-cocked.
