Help!! What's burrowing in my yard?
Hello. If there's any turf critter experts out there, I would
appreciate your ideas on this! Beginning the past fall, I started seeing little mounds of dirt in my yard. They're small, probably only a couple of inches wide and some reach a couple of inches tall. The best way I know to describe them is that they look kinda like the little mounds that a crawfish makes when they burrow down in the mud beside streams, etc.(they're not mole tunnels, I know what they look like). I wasn't too worried until they now number in the hundreds all over my back yard! I dig down a little but see nothing. I'm getting really concerned now because I have a beautiful centipede lawn and don't want to see all my hard work destroyed! Does anyone have any idea what's going on and what I need to do to fix this problem? Thanks very much! All have a good day! |

I had a similar problem in past years (always in the fall) and had assumed the holes were caused by small burrowing animals. Then late one night I saw a family of raccoons digging up my front lawn in search of grubs. I first tried trapping and relocating the animal but after a few days I would again find new holes in the lawn. Now I treat the lawn annually to eliminate the grubs and I no longer see the holes during the fall months. Putting out a Have-A-Heart trap baited with sardines could tell you if your holes are caused by a similar critters. Good luck, ....John |
