I know they are there because of the water level in our backyard. If I dig up one of the holes - I get a lot of water 6" or more down. I've tried putting mothballs in their holes - but they just move to another hole. My back yard is not that big - maybe ~100' x 40' give or take and there are probably 2-3 dozen mounds. It's definitely crawfish, as my son and I have dug some of them up. The odd thing is that there isn't a creek or anything near by - a ditch that only has water after a heave rain is maybe 200-300' away. I was think about buying some 12" plastic or metal edging and installing it 8" in the ground around the yard. But, how do I kill the ones there now? I've mixed up seven and poured down the holes but that didnt seem to help. I don't really want to dig them up - as I usually don't find them - even after digging 2' deep and don't want to tear the yard up any more.
we had the same problem with the crawfish. my kids got tired of tring to fish them out. what we did was had 6 loads of sand put in the front yard and seven loads in the back. we don't have the problem near as bad as we did before.
Free food? Free delivery? I don't see the problem.
Darn hamubrger patties and steaks keep appearing in my backyard!
Hmmmm.... I wonder what it would take to attract cows to my backyard.
I just noticed your thread title...LOL! Just go outside and yell "CRAYFISH" at the top of your lungs a few times. They will think they've gone to far north, and they'll leave your yard. Just warn your neighbor to the south that they are on the way.
Definitely going to give the bacon a try - or at least, let my 5yr old try it. Maybe he'll catch a few and i can run him over the lake before it gets dark....hopefully he won't tell the wife how he caught them.
just what i was thinking,supply the beer we'll bring zataran's,corn,potatoes, just start boiling the water and we are on our way! and if they come back? well, we will too!,with more ingredients!!
