A Little Lawn Damage........!

[unclepesta 101]

I've just done a mole job in a church grounds near silverstone & they have similar damage to the grass area's I also had a mole trap missing so I'm guessing badgers or maybe a fox taking the trap complete with mole!!

moles will be active on these grubs along with badgers and fox,badgers are pigs and plough and dig more than fox,mole trap loss is gonna happen with this frenzy feeding,if you do a lot of moleing maybe set up some traps with stakes,in such risky spots it may save losses,of course this turf damage shows signs of badgers so if mole joins in just use pegged/staked traps,most lawns require small number of traps so why not put stakes on 5 or 10 traps and use em when you see the risks.

It looks like badgers. They do the same damage to the mother in laws lawn same time every year looking for leather jackets. Sister in law set up one of those cameras that take photos in the dark so you can see what's coming into your garden. Sure enough, it was a badger. When i used to do grave digging we used to find chafer grubs down the side of the graves, this was when we were redigging a grave to put another body in a double. They are very large white grubs that look like those things that Ray Mears eats in Australia, Whichity grubs.
