Skunks and opossums will dig em up and eat the larvae.

 

That makes sense, as I noticed something had rooted around in a couple spots in the yard on that same side of the house. My thought on that was something looking for grubs.:good2: Thanks!!!!!

 

Skunks seem to root through my yard very year around August and September. Looking for grubs before they hibernate.

I had thought of a bear too. But, the reason I noticed the one by the house had been dug up was by seeing a line of tracks in the dew, and they were much to small and short strided to be a bear. And, there was no honey in these nests...

Bears don't need honey necessary. Just this spring I had a bear remove some retaining wall blocks to get at a hive of wasp larvae.

 

They will definitely dig up grubs. I have had a 24 year battle with moles, skunks and opossums digging up my yard eating grubs. I have spent soooo much money trying to kill the grubs only to have them back the next year.

I will be stripping my sod and grading my yard next year. I hope that removing their food and treating one last time for them will rid me of the little blighters forever!

 

You have to know the cycle of a grub/june bug in order to control them.This guy has a channel on youtube he worked many years for a pro/national company.You can jump to 1:40https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koQZ1rE_VEE

 

"Just" went through the same issue here. Trial and error, trial and error. I finally just hard packed the whole area with a tamper and that seems to have kept them from re-digging the entrance due to compacted soil(?). I monitored the situation for three weeks because of the Non-Believers keep hanging around. But, eventually they left.

 

Bears don't seem to be bothered from bee stings. A neighbor had issues with a bear destroying his honey bee hives. He ended up shooting the bear after several failed attempts by the DNR to relocate the problem bear.

pigs....

 

Skunks definitely...

 

One might laugh... but this WORKS for holy diggers. Refill the hole with clumped (used) cat litter. It is especially effective on skunks and grounhawgs. Mine started digging a couple 2' deep holes and this method cured that!

If you don't have cats, I can send you 41 pounds of genuine prime used cat litter clumps for just $9.99 + $19.99 shipping and with every order I'll include a handy reusable square high visibility plastic pail with tight fitting lid! Order now from Shoddy Industries, Inc.!

 

:lololh boy--A Shoddy Industries, Inc for sure!! i yi-- --yi :lol:

 

The infamous Honey Badger, he don't give a S&*^ about bee stings! :laugh:

 

Racoons will also dig up wasp/bee nests.

 

***** and skunks make small hole like that when after grubs.
Skunks are a good animal to have around if you do not have dogs. The skunks will eat grubs and mice and any other critters they happen a-pawn.
