WTF is my grass doing!

[probablecause]

This started about two weeks ago but now all over the grass. At first I thought it might be a dog or animal but they are small scoops of grass taken out. A dog would leave some scrape type marks also. Any suggestions?

Racoon is digging for grubs

 

[grumpy88]

^^^^ I have to treat once a month

 

[SHOCKtheMONKEY]

Pretty sure it's that DCB owner in the last pic.

 

[Bullet28]

My yard is similar but we know it’s squirrels.

 

[monkeyswrench]

I had a skunk do the same! Check out the urban coyote thread...crossbows and rocket launchers!

 

[Bullet28]

My pellet gun is coming out

 

[dribble]

Skunks or raccoons looking for worms and bugs.

 

[Danger Dave]

Looks like the guy in the last pic is doing it.

 

[probablecause]

My son, the DCB owner, has not weighed in yet.

LOL

Wife thinks its a raccoon so she got down our trap. She said she wanted to use tuna for bait but that we were out out of tuna at home, to which I told her she was never out of tuna. Wonder if my late plate will be made tonight for me when I get home.

 

[termiteguy]

I second the racoon/ skunk set up a gopro in the yard that will tell and make sure you capture the kill shot we want to see it

 

[Riverbound]

It’s crows looking for grubs.... @dezertrider had the same issue and went back and looked at his security cameras and caught them. The benefits of having a dynamic air services connected home awareness system is that you can see what’s going on with your home at all times. (Shameless plug) [emoji6]

Agree. Same thing happens here. Skunks and Racoons.

Marshmallows. What are you going to do if you trap one?

 

[infield]

Here in Kansas that would be the result of armadillos. I have never seen a raccoon cause that type of damage.

 

[Big B Hova]

Its Jerry brown trying to kill your yard because your using water. He comes out at night and fucks shit up.

Racoon is digging for grubs

Noticed this in our neighbors yards this week. My wife saw a raccoon on our back fence just the other day as well. It’s been a few years since we’ve seen them but obviously still around.

 

[dezertrider]

For the last four weeks the crows have been destroying my lawn. Now I know to treat my lawn every month with grub killer

Solid.

 

[jailbird141]

A family of racoons did the samething to my yard looking for grubs. Treat for grubs and put an animal repellent down and hope for the best.

 

[sirbob]

The skunks do that around our house.

 

[4Waters]

I had a neighbor that was putting peanuts out for the squirrels and those little bastards screwed up everyone's lawns on the street including mine and it looked like what is happening to yours. Needless to say a few of us started trapping and shooting the squirrels and we were able to thin them out pretty decently and we got her to stop feeding the damn things.

I'll let you know. Going for gold tonight. Set the trap last night after about 3 bourbons and only put the pin in the back gate. Little fucker got out but don't know what it was.

 

[outboard_256]

I am going to guess coyote, better stock up on bb guns.

 

[Mr. C]

Skunks or raccoons looking for worms and bugs.

We get both. You definitely know when the skunk wants the territory though.
The raccoons just pulled up new sod I had put down and the skunks seem to like the older grass and flower beds.

I didn't know they would dig like that.
We have a new pack of 4 coyote pups running our neighborhood at night now. coyote shit on the street and sidewalks, but never thought it could be them.

Big 5 time need some pellets

 

[probablecause]

No way a coyote would have fit in that trap. Don't smell the skunk urine either. Going with the Racoon. I will let everyone know in the AM

 

[grumpy88]

If you treat your lawn they will move on to a neighbors lawn . Trust me on this one .

What should I treat it with? Arsenic burgers?

 

[dezertrider]

 

[grumpy88]

^^^^^^^^^ this . I go about once every 5 or 6 weeks . Works fast . You would be amazed at what is eating the roots under ground too . Works great

 

[probablecause]

It's a fucking Skunk! By the fact that it is digging, I assume that it is finding stuff to eat? Ergo, it keeps digging?

 

[76 Southwind]

Saw 4 Coons this morning hammering away at the yard across the street. Big year for June bugs which in turn into grubs... Mother F-ers

 

[probablecause]

 

[SoCalDave]

Well did you catch it?

 

[probablecause]

No, it wanted nothing to do with the trap.

 

[probablecause]

Here is the little bastard at work.

 

[NicPaus]

Cover the trap with a burlap sack and use anchovies. I have caught one with no sack and had to make a custom garbage bag suit to not get sprayed. Neighbor saw it trapped so could not shoot it.

 

[shippingguy]

I’m dealing with the same bullshit! Just had new sod laid in August and been fighting this crap! Notices tons of white moths when I would pull in at night so I treated with the same stuff shown above. It worked, but had dead spots all over. Woke up this morning and a pile of chunks of grass I. Middle of yard! Shit is pissing me off!!!!

I had little mice destroy my back yard. Took about 3 weeks of baiting every night to kill all of them. Also treated the grass for bugs too.

 

[shippingguy]

Besides the bug treatment I also was told sprinkle crushed red pepper in the lawn. Soak it in with water. They don’t like the taste.

Three Words .... Alien CROP CIRCLES .........

 

[Classic Daycruiser]

I'd get a new landscaper.

 

[probablecause]

Just flew in from NY so I set the trap with Pizza.

 

[Hullbilly]

Bowl of antifreeze should cure that problemo

 

[jbird]

Tried to be nice by trapping first but this crew is too smart. Switched to the motion cameras and the Remington.
Fuckers have torn the shit out of my yard.
One down two to go!

 

[probablecause]

Fucker pulled a no show. I wonder if they like rat poison (the little pellets or the green squares)?
