We are having the same problem. I assume that these tracks are the
work of moles. These creatures feed on grubs living underneath our
lawn. I tried traps, smoke bombs without much success. I was told
the only way to get rid of moles is to kill all the grubs in the soil.
I put Diazinon (sp?) on my lawn last fall and that seemed to help
a bit. The long term solution is milky spore which takes years to
reach its full strength.
We live in Ocean Township, Central New Jersey. Moles and grubs are
thriving in this area. Please post if you have any other suggestions.
I'm sure many people in this part of the country are interested.
