Dangerous lawn! - April 5th, 2005 at 04:35 PM
Its worse every year--the holes and heaps of dug-up soil on my lawn. At the moment, the mole, and perhaps also chipmunk problem is so far out of control on my front lawn that I'm afraid to walk on it! Its like walking on a soggy sponge with some areas where you can really get a foot caught. I understand its the grubs they're after, but I've tried numerous "cures" that haven't worked from milky spore to camphor to fertilizing to make the lawn very healthy. I suspect the chipmunks are also taking up residence because of the size of the heaps of dirt and some of the holes. If I lived out west, I'd swear I had prairie dogs! I have a well, so I'm trying my hardest to avoid a chemical solution. Any new ideas?
