Clean the place:
Armadillos tend to hide down the bushes while they experience some danger. If there are any bushes around your DeLand pest control garden or similar small plant you should either clear them or block the entrance to them. This will make the armadillos run out of the place as they won’t be able to find a shelter in your place.

Fence the garden
After you’ve successfully moved the armadillos out of your attic all you have to do is to block them from entering them. This can be done using metal fences. However the armadillos can dig very well they can cross the fence by digging under the fence. So it is recommended you burry the fence base few meter down which makes it hard for them to dig in down the fences.
