What can I do to keep armadillos from digging in the yard?

At night, armadillos seem to be the ones creating messy holes in our yard. While these holes are generally easy to cover, it gets tiring to do so day after day.

We are not 100% sure that armadillos are doing this, but we are quiet positive. Unfortunately we saw one dead on the road, even though it is in a neighbor.
Armadillos and other animals can easily access our yard because we live right in front of a forest.
So what can I do? I don’t want to kill them, just to make them stop digging!

rapid growth for flowers.?

i saw this stuff that is called rapid growth to make your flowers bloom faster. does it really work and how fast does it work. my impatiens have been going through a lot. something or someone killed majority of my impatiens they fell apart at the root of the plant the first day they drooped and lost their leaves. they got plenty of water. it seemed like a dog peed on it. but i do armadillos, rabbits and other animals crawling around here. i put moth balls to keep them out. but i am trying to bring back my impatiens. they didnt kill the root of the plant just what ever the plant had above ground was killed. i figured the rapid groowth can help boast them up.

Betty’s Charming Armadillo Eggs Recipe

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make some spicy and showy Armadillo Eggs. These are hollowed out jalapeno peppers filled with sausage and a blend of Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheese. They are dipped in seasoned coating mix and baked to make a great appetizer. Ingredients (for 12 half-eggs): 6 jalapeno peppers, washed and dried with paper towel 1/4 to 1/3 pound ground pork sausage 1/4 to1/2 cup finely shredded Monterey Jack cheese 12 small cubes sharp Cheddar cheese (about 3/8-inch on a side) 1/2 package (5.5-oz.) seasoned coating mix for pork cooking oil spray Cut off stem end of jalapenos. Then, cut in half lengthwise. Remove the pulp and seeds and discard. Mix 1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese together with the ground pork sausage. Place about 1/12 of the sausage mixture into each pepper half. Dip stuffed sides of peppers in coating mix. Place, stuffed sides up, in an ovenproof baking dish that has been sprayed with cooking oil. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Arrange on a serving platter, and serve with taco sauce, salsa, guacamole, pico de gallo, or any favorite spread or dip. These are great for casual parties or while watching sports events–or just as an afternoon snack! Enjoy!!! –Betty :)
