What are raccoons digging for in my lawn and flower beds?

Is it grubs?





What can I use to treat my lawn and what time of year to apply it to kill grubs?





I have heard it only works during a certain stage of growth of a grub.

They are probably looking for grubs, you are right. I would suggest doing this during doing the grub treatment in the fall because that's when they are most vulnerable to the treatment. You should test in late summer (for grubs) and treat in early fall.





There are also other ways to keep raccoons out of the garden. I've listed a website with all the details.

it is too late now to use a grub control on your lawn(I use one by Scott's)


there is however something you can do.....but a lot of people won't


feed the raccoons and squirrels and this will prevent them from digging up the lawn!


good luck!
Reply:Yes they're digging for grubs, the solution is get rid of the grubs, gasoline or kerosene should do it..☺
Reply:I'm guessing yes. I personally have skunks digging my lawn up. Obviously, I don't interupt their meals. :-)
