What Animal Tore Up My Lawn?!
How would you like to step off your patio and see a mess like this in your backyard?
This damage was done by raccoons looking for grubs.
Raccoons do so much damage because they are strong and have great dexterity. They peel back the sod and can do quite a bit of damage in one night.
Skunks often get blamed because they, too, are grubbers. But, their holes are neat circular holes–nothing as destructive as the ripping and tearing of raccoons.
Video & Explanation of Grubbing Raccoons
There are two ways to deal with this situation.
The first way is prevention– grub control. We’re not lawn experts by any means, but we do know there are products out there to control grubs. If there were no grubs in the lawn in the video, chances are there wouldn’t have been that much damage to the sod.
The second way to deal with the current damage is to trap the raccoons that are doing the digging.
This approach is a temporary fix but it limits damage in the short term. Fixing of the lawn and getting rid of the grubs is still needed.
