Lawn Mouse Damage And How To Fix It
Now that the spring lawn care season is upon us, no doubt you guys are getting out into the lawn and seeing what damage occurred during winter. Chances are if you live near un-developed areas like farm field or woodlands, then your lawn may have suffered some mouse damage.
In this video I show you some from my lawn and also tell you what to do to fix the mouse damage in the lawn.
For the record, one way to help prevent mouse damage in the lawn is to cut it very short just prior to winter. I recommend you do this for many reasons, however, when you have a super thick lawn, there is almost no way to prevent mouse damage: cutting short in fall just minimizes problems.
Remember guys, just stick to the plan and don’t get all excited over this. Lawn Care is simple, and we don’t allow tears in the lawn biz! LOL

Hey Allyn – what are your thoughts on re-fertilizing after a heavy rain? I put down one bag of Scott’s Southern lawn food Saturday. Sunday morning it drizzled for an hour, then we got 2 inches in 2 hours. Do you think my fertilizer washed away – or is it a wait and see game? Thanks!

Kent– great question man, I would say let it go for 2 weeks and if you get uneven green up, then chances are the fert washed into low areas and collected there.
Our best hope is that the light drizzle got the fert into the soil before the downpour.
You won’t hurt anything if you fert again, we just don’t wanna push the growth.
