This is armadillo season. Late summer and early fall is when they start stirring around.
What they are attracted to is grubs and bugs in the areas that are watered and tilled.

I never objected to them as they manage to loosen the soil and then when (or if) it should rain, the soil absorbs more moisture.

There are armadillo traps that some folks swear by. I've not used them.

If you lived closer, I'd loan you Pod. He runs them down and kills them.
