Dirt Patches Appearing In Yard

Question From: J. Englund - UTAH
Q: I have dirt patches about the size of a bar of soap appearing in my yard. The grass has not died it is just a series of soil patches that have appeared. It must be some sort of a bug.

A:

Sounds like gophers to me. Check at your local independent garden center for a liquid repellant that will chase them out of your yard or purchase a gopher trap. Best and Happy Yardening, Nancy

If you don't have a local independent garden center nearby, you can look online at Amazon.com.
