Anybody have any experience with Marsyada's Armor Plate armadillo bait? everything I've read says most baits won't work and you have to funnel them into the trap with construction fencing or something similar.

Somebody makes a box trap out of wood. According to a friend after you catch one in it the rest come in easier. Said instructions say not to wash them out if they take a dump in it.

Unless its some sort of gland or scat/urine lure from actual armadillos I wouldn't waste my time with it and even then I have my doubts.

The only lure I've ever found effective is FRESH diller funk. The key to successful diller trapping is LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION and good drift fencing technique.

The first one is the hardest but if you transfer that stinky diller cage to cage to funk them up the rest come easy. You might try thin plywood or carpet floors if you're using wire cages.

Thanks warrior, this is what I've always heard and read, and I believe it, but was curious if anyone had ever tried it and whether it worked or not. I was thinking if it did work then it has to be the one of the best kept secrets of trapping, lol.

None of those commercial baits are reliable. Other than myself, I don't know of anyone else making armadillo lure.

Warrior, my lure is called dillo funk lol

I don't sell it anymore however.

Build a wooden trap and funnel the first one, the rest will come. Goodluck

Airport is right, you can find them running fence lines and funnel them into the cage with ease.

This is what I mean by location. I trap suburban yards and it's the fences, flower bed edging, shrubbery hedges, etc that create the funnels and choke points that guide dillers into the path of my traps. Also think feeding and bedding like you would deer. I want my cages between those two points where the diller is straight line moving not meandering around like they do when grubbing.

I'll add when using scent, play the wind. They have a great sense of smell.
