OK. First, I know it's a mound of something! I'm just curious what. I walk this area every day, and today, I saw these strange mounds formed in a specific row. I think they are coming from a bed of mulch. If I remember, there were about four mounds. I wonder if it was caused by animal digging. It was too specific.
I apologize for the lousy pictures! My lens wasn't appropriate for this so I couldn't get any decent shots. After experiencing some mushrooms disappearing on me after I shot them one day, I've learned not to assume they'll still be there the next day! If they're there tomorrow, I may try shooting these with my iPhone, but I didn't have the time.
Just seemed weird in how it was laid out, clearly not random clumps of ? dirt.

I met an exterminator who said he puts grub poison on his lawn in the spring and mid summer. No moles. Seems to work for me. They told us in Master Gardener class if you have lots of trees or are near a timber area, you will have moles. Yes to all that.
I remember moles used to look like that. But I haven't seen one for years, so my memory might be shaky.

That was my thought, but had never seen one.

Glad this isn't on my side.

Oh great! That's my fear. Poison on the lawn and kill my poor squirrels! These people are stupid here!

Moles, voles and gophers, take your pick. Have fun trying to get rid of them. Don't buy solar powered repellers, they don't work. In a day or so they buried a couple of the ones I tried.

About 30 years ago I had a Ferret for a short time. I made a harness for him out of Venetian Blind cord and I would take him out and let him hunt the moles, he would stick his nose under the dirt of the run then he was like a plow he only caught one mole, but his hunting sent then packing!! It was a trip to watch him, plow a bit pull his head out and sneeze a couple of times then back at it.
But then instead of ridges of dirt I had ruts!!! But I didn't have moles the rest of the time I lived there.

My problem is I live in an apartment complex. Out of my control! Lived here for a long time and never saw these. Just want my squirrels killed or anything else for that matter!

The Grub poison thing works. I've tried it.
