Our tomato garden is getting tilled by a critter or two most nights these last couple of weeks. It's a good thing bad thing really. The bad things is it's an indication of grubs and some critter with a strong smell and sense knows they're there and digging for them. The good news is the critter is getting to them and eating them (I hope). So long as they stay digging in the garden I'm good with their efforts, however, it's when they move to the lawn that I take issue. Again, the good things is they're eating the little buggers (pun intended) but not really at the expense of the damage they can do to a lawn...
Here are a couple examples of their handy work -
OH LOOK! Look who likes freshly fallen peaches that just so happen to be tied to the paddle of the trap that you ventured into! What a mess too. Looks like a youngster and he gave 110% effort trying to get outta that trap. The inside bottom of the trap was full of dirt, so much so that it was difficult to pick up -
I gave him the whatfor with strict instructions of what's acceptable and what is not if he wanted to continue dining in our yard, then flipped the trap locks and set him on his way...which as I suspected, was right under the neighbors shed -
