Mole Cricket Control for Greater New Orleans and Northshore Lawns

Mole Cricket Control for Greater New Orleans and Northshore Lawns

Mole crickets are among the most destructive turf pests in South Louisiana. They tunnel just beneath the surface, severing roots and drying out the soil until sections of the lawn lift like loose carpet. St. Augustine and centipede lawns across Greater New Orleans and the North Shore are especially vulnerable from spring through fall.

Lobb-Alexis offers a specialized mole cricket application timed to the pest's life cycle, so treatments reach the insects when they are most vulnerable. Contact our team for a complimentary on-site evaluation.

Telltale Signs of a Mole Cricket Infestation

Mole cricket activity ramps up significantly in spring and early summer when mating season begins. That said, here in the Deep South, it's not uncommon to experience two generations per year, doubling the potential for destruction. Timing is of the essence when it comes to lawn pest management, so call our team right away if you notice any of the following signs:

  • Mounds of loose soil: Mole crickets push up the soil as they tunnel underground. These mounds can be small and scattered or form raised ridges along their pathways.
  • Spongy lawn: Tunneling can detach the turfgrass from the underlying soil, creating a spongy feeling when you walk on affected areas.
  • Dead or dying grass: As mole crickets damage roots and disrupt the soil, patches of grass will eventually turn brown and die.
  • Presence of predators: Birds, raccoons, and other animals that prey on mole crickets may dig up areas of your lawn in search of them.
