| Hello,
I just noticed this lawn damage this morning. There are small holes all over the lawn. Basically everywhere. Any ideas what might be causing this?
Thanks in advance

| It is very possible the holes left by grubs turning into moths, digging out (thus leaving a hole), and flying away. |

| Huh. I will have to try to id some of the moths we have around. We have a ton of butterflies - one type in particular. Maybe they do the same thing? I will investigate. Thanks for the lead. I assume if that is true, the lawn will recover next spring? |

| I highly doubt those are moths digging out of the soil. Squirrels are notorious hole diggers, and they start at first light. Skunks can also cause a lot of damage, but they usually tear up the turf more than small holes like you have pictured. |

| We do have squirrels, but in the ten years we've lived here I've never seen this. I'm really perplexed. |

| Them holes are caused by moles. Use your search engine to see how to get rid of them Mitter |

| If I had to guess either Mole Crickets or voles based on the size. These sites will help you narrow it down on you rown http://icwdm.org/Inspection/groundholes.…

| Do they have mole crickets in North Dakota? |
