Quoted: New to MO and seeing something weird in my suburban yard. Little dirt piles, about 8-10 inches across and a few inches high? They show up overnight. Strangest dang thing. Anybody have any ideas? If its anything like my yard here in Southern Mo and my last yard in N.St. Louis County, I think its Moles and or Voles... I think their made food source is the earth and Grub worm... I spread some stuff at the last yard in the county that was in pellet form, that took care of the Grub worms, but my yard down here is way too big too do that... They have my yard looking like some shit off Caddy Shack... One those little hills sink in, you could break off an ankle or lawnmower wheel in them... Not sure what the best solution is down here... |

Moles. The stuff with castor oil you spread on your yard runs off the worms and the moles follow. Works fairly well. Some cats and dogs will kill them but nothing eats them.

This thread made this old Missourian laugh.
It's mole wacking time for the newcomer. |

My dog likes to dig them up and kill them, she is actually making the backyard look like northern france in 1918

Voles dig den entrance holes and make runs through the grass but don't raise mounds.

Yeah, sounds like moles to me. They did that stuff in the backyard at my last house. Dog dug one up one time but every other time he just dug holes and never got another mole.

Garden hose and .22. Plus a shitload of patience. Or I let my Rott hunt them.

Not moles or voles. Piles like that are evidence of armadillo digging for grubs.
Got these? You got a dillo.

I think it might be an armadillo.
I originally thought mole, so I bought a mole trap and started looking for tunnels. I dug around the dirt piles, and in the dirt piles, but found no tunnels at all. So now I'm going to return the mole trap (thanks Amazon) and look into trapping dillos. |

West side of Springfield.
After doing a little more research, I think I'm going to put up a trail cam to try to catch the culprit and see what I'm dealing with. |
