You will need:

Potted meat
Crackers
Beef Jerky
Chair
Beer
Spotlight
.22 rifle

1. Place chair outside in plain view of known armadillo whereabouts.
2. Place all other items withing reaching distance of chair
3. Consume beer, but open beers quietly as not to spook the dillo
4. Eat crackers, potted meat, and beef jerky while consuming beer
5. Turn on spotlight occasionally and scan area
6. If the beast appears, place beer on ground, hole spotlight with one hand and shoulder .22 with other.
7. When firing at the beast, you must remember the basics of marksmanship - sight picture, breath control, and trigger squeeze.
8. Align sights, control your breathing, squeeze the trigger on the exhale, and collect your beast
9. Resume beer drinking
