Lawn problems

[hmsganges]

I have recently found 6 brown circles with finger size holes in my lawn-Has anyone any idea of the cause?

starlings or hedgehogs looking for food

Crickets in the lawn.

Birds digging for Chafer grubs maybe.

Pour boiling water down the holes. If it is crickets they will come out.

Boiling water, brinjal? Why kill them?

Birds or squirrels

I have similar brown circles that appeared today - I think it's the Day of the Ant, when the flying ants leave the nests to set up new colonies. The brown circles are from the mud from under the lawn displaced by the ants as they dig out of their nests.

Because not only do crickets eat up the lawn they come inside and chew up the Persian rugs.

Bee's nest? Some species only have one bee to a nest.

We don't get crickets here in the UK, brinjal - not the sort that eat your furniture, anyway.

Meteors ! You must dig down at least 6 foot all over the lawn to get these valuable items for your local science museum, for the benefit of all !

LOL, it's people digging through from Australia!

You dont get those black cricket things in UK thats lucky coz they make holes in the lawn with dead brown grass around it and chew up carpets the beasts
