Marco Island, Naples (Collier County), Bonita Springs, Estero (Lee County), Charlotte + Sarasota Counties: It's warming up around here! What happens when it warms up?
ARMADILLOS: Armadillos in Naples and Marco Island start digging holes around your properties about this time for similar reasons as the raccoons, except in the case of the armadillo, their food source is INCREASING in number: GRUBS. Many of the fancy grasses and landscaping we have in SOUTHWEST FLORIDA are grub heaven, and the armadillos dig holes underneath these food sources (the grubs), just waiting for a tasty meal. But meanwhile, they've left holes all over your property. And you can refill the holes as much as you like, but as long as the armadillo is still hanging around your Naples or Marco Island home, the holes WILL come back.
