Are armadillos protected species in Florida?

I've heard that armadillos are a protected species in Florida(at least here in Gainesville) and that its illegal to kill them, but, my websearches haven't turned up anything conclusive on said illegality. [Mainly trying to deal with the critters digging under a housing foundation] Does anyone know about the animals protected status? Thanks in advance.

Yes They are protected. $500 fine if you have one in your possession.

They are protected by a hard shell on their back. Shoot for the head.

Yes, I think they are. And If not they should be.
