speaking of critters that live underground we got attacked by moles or a moles this past summer - I think that bastid/ bastids is still around I don't even want to think of what it will cost to get rid of it. Normally I wouldn't care, but they really tore our yard up.

We had them one summer and the next, they were gone. A combination of the dogs next door eating them and us treating for grubs seemed to do the trick.

Get rid of the grubs, you get rid of their food.

As budget conscientious as I am - I am considering yard service this spring summer. Our lawnmower is not responding anymore to all my super glue/duct tape fixes I don't relish the idea of getting a new one.

if you go to The Aquatic Critter on nolensville road and go to the reptile side, tell them I sent you in and ask for some sort of shed snake skin. If you put the snake skins in the holes, it should drive them at least across the street. The presence of a threat should do the trick.

same applies to rodents under your house etc.

very cheap fix.

also, getting Juicy Fruit (yes, the gum) and putting sticks in their holes will get rid of them. just use gloves bc you don't want the gum smelling like peoples.
