sauss06 Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 how do you know its moles? Im just curious, do you see tunnels or areas just dug up? Well, after the good winter of '10, when the snow melted, i could see their tunnels. Which explained why a cat was hanging around outside that winter as well. The dog caught one too. Plus you can see the holes in the ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hazwoper Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I bet you have a vole problem (I have the same problem). Do the tunnels look like this after snow melt? Do you have holes around the exterior of the house? I use baited traps and set them near the holes and along the foundation. Now I have them inh my basement so I have a trap set there as well.

fsu_wxgirl Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 So my husband has requested that I reach out for some advice on our lawn. We have probably about 85% broad leaf weeds and 5% grass and 5% dirt/clover/other. (This is purely an estimation on my part ) Our question is this: in what order should we do everything? And what time of year should we do each step? ie: should we get rid of the weeds first and then plant grass seeds? Here are a couple of pictures to help: (these were taken prior to moving in so the swing set and picnic table are no longer there!) Oh and a little humor from my husband...he doesn't care what we put in the yard as long as its green, weeds and all haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tombo can probably give you better info, but go with the broadleaf control now then fert/crab grass preventer in spring, then probabl;y another broadleaf control mid summer next year. Then ,come next fall, do some major reseeding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
