What's digging holes in my yard?
Welcome to the wonderful world of armadillos. Pesky little varmits that are
quite difficult to get rid of once they descend on your yard. They dig in search of grub worms so I would suggest checking for and treating for grubs in your yard. Other than that you can use a variety of scents (wolf ****, coyote urine, etc) to scare them off. Mostly blind, they find their way around by habit and by smell. Good luck. Chris "Brian Anderson" wrote in message ... A whole village of little black dirt hills appeared in my yard seemingly overnight. There must be 20-30 of them in one 10x12 area, most about three inches in diameter. There are similar but smaller villages elsewhere in the yard. I scraped some of the dirt hills away and found a small hole, maybe 3/8" in diameter, under each one. It looks like the hole of a burrowing snake or something. What have I got? Is this thing harmful to the lawn, or does its tunneling help aerate the ground? The areas it has chosen to tunnel in are only sparsely covered with grass, so it really can't do much damage unless it spreads to the healthier areas. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. |
