Ground moles are quite prevalent across the Eastern and Southern US. They also go by the name eastern mole, yard mole, or common mole.

If you are reading this post, there is a good chance you are dealing with yard moles and want to find out how to get rid of moles in your yard.

You’re in the right place.

There are a lot of possible rodents and rodent-like creatures that could be creating havoc in your yard or even in your house.

In South Carolina, the main ones that cause yard damage are moles and voles. But how can you tell which one you are dealing with? And how do you take care of the problem and restore your yard to its former glory?

If you have outdoor cats, dogs, bunnies, or other pets, you are probably very interested in non-toxic weed-killer options. Of course, even if you don’t have pets, you may want to consider the well-being of wild animals in your yard.

You want a beautiful, weed-free lawn. You also want healthy animals.

We get it.

When it comes to a pet-safe lawn weed killer, there are a number of interesting ones to choose from. Let’s dig into your best options in this post.

All you want, as a homeowner and dog owner, is to get rid of weeds and keep your beloved fur baby safe.

Is that too much to ask?

To have a beautiful lawn AND a healthy puppy?

We don’t think so.

Let’s go over some of the most popular dog-safe weed-killer options that are commercially available, as well as homemade weed-killer that is safe for dogs.

You’re just walking through your backyard, trying to enjoy a game of catch with your kids. When you realize there are some terrifying red mounds rising up from the grass, dotting the yard. You begin to lose concentration on playing with your children because you are worried that you — or your kids — are about to be attacked by those aggressive little red fire ants and have your entire day ruined.

Fire ants are a headache for many people and pets. They have a nasty bite/sting that leaves a very painful and itchy blister on your skin. The itching can last for as long as a week and anyone who has experienced one doesn’t look forward to having more any time soon.

If you get enough bites— or if you are allergic to fire ant bites — these bites can be quite dangerous.

So most people want to know the best way to get rid of fire ants on their property. Especially around their homes and outdoor living areas.

If you have recently moved from the north to the southern United States, you may be shocked to see all of these fire ant mounds all over the place. In fact, you may not even know what they are. Until you accidentally step in one and then seemingly the entire ant colony swarms your feet and legs and bite you all at once.

It’s not a fun experience —to be bitten by one fire ant, much less a lot of fire ants. Most of us who live in the South try to avoid them like the plague.

But maybe you are curious about these little invaders and their hidden lives.

Maybe your yard, like the one above, has more weeds than grass. And maybe you have a sinking feeling of embarrassment every time you have to look at it. If you are wondering how to remove weeds from the lawn…

Don’t worry! Help has arrived.

We’ll go over your options in this post and answer some of the most frequently asked questions about weeds in lawn care. Most importantly, we’ll discuss all the best options for how to kill weeds.

Maintaining a weed-free lawn and hardscape is a goal we all strive for. There are a lot of options for DIY and professional chemical weed control, but some people prefer to use natural weed control alternatives that are safe for children, pets, and the environment, in general.

If you are looking for an organic weed killer for lawns and/or all-natural weed control options, we’d like to share some possible solutions.

So you really would like for your yard to look its best. You mow, trim, and maybe even throw out some Weed & Feed now and then. But you still aren’t getting the results you want. Could your grass be trying to tell you something? Maybe it is stressed because of a huge issue — compacted soil.

If you’ve never thought about soil compaction and how it affects your grass, it may be time to look into the issue. You may just find out that your yard needs a little less soil and a lot more air circulation.

Aerating a lawn is something that professional landscapers, gardeners, and golf course groundskeepers do. But is it necessary for your yard and is aerating your lawn worth it?
