We have been at this location for 9 years with no previous problems. This y= ear we re-seeded in late September and now have discovered overnight two la= rge areas of extensive disturbance to the turf. I first suspected moles or = voles, but on closer examination I see a large number of small pieces of tu= rf that have been scuffed aside, but there are no tunnels beneath them. It = looks like a large-ish animal, like a big dog or something, has torn up the= lawn. But there are no footprints, and there is no sign of claw marks (the= soil is soft and damp), and there is no history of dogs running loose in t= he area. I have no idea what is causing this, but the damage is extensive a= nd I don't know how to control it. We have a new puppy, so poison is out of= the question. If anybody has any ideas I'd appreciate hearing them. Thanks Dave
