Hiya texas folks! I too have a dillo problem. I have caught one but still have more. I'm afraid to say that is the way it goes.

Google milky spore. That is what I'm thinking of doing. Milky spore is a disease that kills grubs and grubs are what those dillos are after! It is costly but it can last up to 20 years. Once a grub has come in contact with the milky spore and dies the disease is spread so the longer it is there the better it gets. As a bonus, grubs are the larvae of those pesky beetles that eat our plants. So you kill two birds with one stone (or get rid of two pests with one spore).

Here's a picture of the one we caught :)
