I have the nice holes they’ve dug all over the yard. Free aeration?Katedontbreak wrote: ↑ Are you sure they are eating the grubs and not your grass seed?
I had a skunk rip up my front yard (caught on video) and a squirrel dig up holes in backyard (caught many times by myself!). It is so frustrating having these animals dig up the yard!Katedontbreak wrote: ↑ Are you sure it's raccoons and skunks?
Squirrels will dig holes to dig up grass and vegetable seed on the lawn and garden.
Depends on what you are using. MOST things work well against the grubs only when they are young - ie in the larvae stage of the development - so after the eggs are hatched in August. This is why most products recommend that you apply their product in the Summer before the eggs hatch so that it can be in the soil to kill them.
This. I thought I had grubs too a couple of years ago but was so relieved that it was actually chinch bugs - grubs are really hard to get rid of and there aren't too many effective solutions to get rid of them.
Make sure you indeed have grubs. If you're going solely based on holes in your backyard without seeing first hand what caused it, I would caution against that because that's not a good indicator. I have holes in my backyard from a groundhog...chipmunks and squirrels also dig up EVERYTHING...they're a real nuisance. The fact you recently overseeded and topdressed to me suggests squirrels - anything that is fresh/new will dig up.What makes you think you have grubs other than the holes? Have you actually seen the skunks and raccoons?
If raccoons and skunks dig up your lawn it will get destroyed. It will look like someone randomly attacked your lawn with a shovel.
