Holes in Lawn
September 23, 2008
Question:
Some animal keeps digging small holes in my lawn at night what do you think it is and how can I prevent it
Answer:
The animals digging at night are probably cats doing their business. If it has only started recently it could be squirrels burying their nuts and seeds in the early morning. Either way it is difficult to stop them. They love soft soil so you could try covering any bare soil with large grade gravel or composted bark, the bigger the pieces the better. Another solution would be to place twigs across the soil, this can be unsightly but the cats in particular may learn that your garden isn’t friendly and move on somewhere else.
