Hi All, Last Fall, I started to notice small soil mounds appearing in my lawn. By the time the snow flew, I probably had 7 or 8 of the mounds. I've never had this problem in the 8 years we've lived in this Maine country home.
Each soil mound is about 7 inches in diameter and rises from 4 to 8 inches in height. There is no obvious entrance hole at the top or around the sides of the mound. Each mound appears over night. If I stand back aways from the mounds, I'd swear that they are appearing in one or more rows.I've picked at the mounds to see if there is a tunnel hole that goes through the mound. I haven't been able to see a tunnel.
Since Spring is just beginning, I'd like to figure out what is causing the mounds and what I can do to get rid of them. Any suggestions? Thanks. -Paul
