- coldcode 13y agoI was asking about their original home area, surely something there has figured out how to limit their numbers.

- _delirium 13y agoArmadillos tend to avoid densely (human-)inhabited areas, and have a habit of ending up roadkill when they violate that preference, so they aren't that effective at pest control in urban areas. Maybe they do more in rural areas; not sure.
