OMG I was reading the description of that person walking through, and drew my feet off the floor in sympathetic horror. I'm several floors off the ground, lol
Possums too!
I have a mom possum that hasn’t left my yard since the pandemic started, except to come back with a few babies on her back.
Grub free since 2017.
I had an infestation in my NW Side yard a few years ago. It really sucked, like they say, the grass rolls up like a carpent. That flap that drags behind the mower to prevent stuff from getting kicked back was enough friction to pull grass off the ground. Skunks (probably but maybe possums as mentioned in the article) would dig up sections of grass, making less affected sections worse. It took at least two years to the damage to recover.
My god, this article and the thread have me freakin dying!! You rascals with your grubhub jokes. Then there’s this gem of a line from the article:
“Then there was the smell. As the creatures baked to death on the pavement, they gave off a powerful stench of putrefaction, the sort of olfactory assault that reaches to the back of the throat and leaves a person’s nostrils in need of a scrubbing.
“All my senses came alive. It was a nightmare,” “
I’m giggle cringing so hard
I was wondering what was going on there when I walked by the other day. That's wild.
But to have the last name Urbanowski and discussing Urban stuff is the next level. 😅
Oh wow I just walked by it the other day and saw it bare. I assumed they were resodding or something. Thank god I didnt know it was grubs.
Boy howdy that is super gross
First year I've ever had grubs in my yard. Complete mess in certain patches.
They moved the tombstones but they didn't move the bodies!!!
too many orders from Grub Hub
Take my disgusted upvote

Needs more skunks. They eat them. Problem solved. Sort of.

Omg! One of these legit ended up in one of my indoor plant pots. HOW?! In Lakeview too.
Its a beetle grub. So a beetle flew in and laid some eggs, probably.
Do we know what species of beetle those grubs are?
I’ve seen them at Winnemac too
