A Surprising Lawn Pest
November 13, 2008 by Mark Roknich
Crows are on the rampage! And yes, they have found a new way to annoy us, in addition to their “singing” and other more messy inconveniences. A number of our friends and neighbors have noticed crows tearing up their lawns!
No, the crows are not planting vegetable gardens or building nests. But if you have crows tearing up your lawn, they may actually be alerting you to a different problem entirely – grubs!
As it turns out, crows actually hear the grubs feeding on roots and thatch. So, in the process of feeding, crows and other birds (and skunks, too) do more damage to our lawns than even the bugs that are eating away at the roots.
To eliminate this problem, it is not necessary to mimic the tactics of Bill Murray in Caddyshack. We’ve seen scarecrows, windmills, and metalized foil streamers appearing in Danawoods. These measures are designed to dissuade the crows from feeding, and from ripping up our lawns in the process. The other way to deter the crows? Eliminate the food source through use of pesticides – kill the grubs, and with no food to attract the crows, then there will be no more crows.
More information is available on the internet. A book from Scotts’ Lawns provides some information (the link should take you to page 102). On about.com, we found this article regarding crows and grubs.
