Why is my grass dying?? UPDATE: FIELD MICE/VOLES - help.

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Why is my grass dying?? UPDATE: FIELD MICE/VOLES - help. (Page 1 of 2)

Posted: 7/13/2018 1:48:53 PM EDT

I have 3 small (6"x6") spots in my yard that died this week... went out to inspect and found about 5 or 6 grubs under the dead grass in each spot.

What's the most effective/fastest way to get rid of these things and get my lawn back to perfection??

ETA: wait... are these even grubs? They look like little turds. I noticed a bunch of tiny light colored bugs crawling around underneath the grass.

UPDATE: Alright after doing a ton of research, and discovering paths through my yard, I've reallzed it's field mice. I live out in the open in a new neighborhood so it makes sense.

Now heres the real question... how do I exterminate these fuckers? Just regular old traps??

Spray. It’s faster activing than granules.

Grub-X works for me...

I use both Grub-ex and Bayer. Grub-ex only gets the ones hatched, Bayer will take care of the eggs plus a number of other incects.

I use this cutter stuff attached to a garden hose. I use it in double the amount called for and it killed the grubs sand other annoying insects. Got it off Amazon. Blue bottle.

Ended up buying AMDRO because its all they had at Lowes. Also bought some Ironite.

Going to apply both tonight, unless you guys think that wouldn't be a good idea for some reason??

Definitely going to water heavily after application.

If rabbit shit kills lawns I am SOL. Rabbits EVERYWHERE around my house.

Brand new neighborhood, almost nobody living around us yet.

It is the rabbit piss killing your lawn. They sit in one area eating the grass just above the roots, but the piss is the real issue. Good luck, it is usually a losing battle unless you have a way of keeping them out of your yard.
