Bethlehem, PAQ.Holes in my backyard in the grass.
I found holes in my backyard. I live in Madison, New Jersey. The holes look like mud bee holes, but i think it is too cold for that to occur. The holes are numerous and they look like aeration holes...but we didn't have that done. I'm concerned I might need an exterminator. Surrounding the holes are raised mounds. The holes look too small for mice or rodent burrowing, but perhaps that's what they are. Any advice would be very helpful. Please see attached photos. Thanks.

Certified ExpertA.Moles and voles, both, can be very small. I would say that this is what is causing the issue.
If you live near an area that is populated by crawfish, they can make their way underground and burrow out.
See if you can do some digging around to see if you can find any trace of what is causing the issue. There will likely be some hint of the culprit.

January 8, 2019A.Someone mentioned they thought it might be mole crickets? What is your thoughts on that. We don't live near water so i don't think there would be crawfish. Thanks for posting to my query.

January 23, 2019A.I would just add some soil to the area, and re seed with grass. This can happen over time, as the land settles.

February 26, 2019A.You will have to find the cause of this first. After you do, you can fill in with compost or topsoil and reseed with grass. Some times this is all it takes.

June 17, 2019Q.What is growing on my grass?
This showed up today on my grass. We just laid new sod down about a month ago. Is this poisonous to people or animals? Will it harm the lawn? How do I get rid of it?

Certified ExpertA.I would try, first, to reseed the lawn. If that does not solve the problem, then you will want to treat the lawn with, both, DOLOMITIC LIME and WETTABLE SULFUR. These two will kill off infections in your lawn, as well as recondition the pH and provide several micro and trace nutrients back to the soil.
This article will offer ways to prevent future issues with the lawn, and to repair brown spots: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/lawn-care/lgen/brown-lawn-fixes.htm
