Midnight Smash-and-Munch Pests
It’s spring and the battle against those pests that turn your yard and landscaping into a war zone has begun in earnest. Let’s take a look at who is capable of damaging your yard and what you can do.
Raccoons are out of in numbers now looking for their evening helping of bird seed and dumpster diners. So what can you do, well here are a few suggestions: bungee the lids on your garbage cans. Cut back trees from your house, at least 5’-6’. Raccoons are looking for earthworms, soil insects and grubs under your lawn, be prepared to treat your lawn against these cute little bandits by calling a pest control company; they’ll use various approaches to moving those coons along.
Skunks are foraging right next to the raccoons, looking to get bird seeds, pet scrapes and invertebrates in the ground. By keeping those sources at bay you discourage them from hanging out around your yard. Skunks will dig under porches and sheds to create one of many homes, so once you see the digging call a professional.
Moles cause piles of soil and raised tunnels in search of earthworms not grubs. Moles can be very hard to stop once they have discovered your lawn. There are many approaches to warding off these tunneling digging beasts so google it and find what works best for you.
