[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1832798, member: 18945"] Yep, the holes were definitely cicada wasps. My 'splotchy' looking lawn is now one of the best 'looking' in the neighborhood. But, lots of it is now dock, (curly and otherwise) interspersed with bermuda, perennial ryegrass, some fescue and St Augustine. Come spring, I may spray some pre emergent tho I'm hesitant to do so on account it can retard the desirables as well as the hated crabgrass and dallis grass seeds I know are down there. Couldn't spray this last 6-8 months because of all the new shoots of grass coming up. Not established enough to withstand even 2,4-d or triclopyr. Last summer, since I couldn't do much else because of my back, I crawled that lawn from one end to the other, in triple digit heat, pulling and digging up crabgrass, black medic, spurge, and sorrel. That, just to have something to do and try to minimize the new seed production. We'll see in a few months, if my efforts were productive or for naught. I don't need or particularly want a perfect lawn, but I don't want what was here when I first moved here either. Bare ground, a little St Augustine and 70% weeds masquerading as grass. I'll be using 2,4d, triclopyr and quinclorac next spring, the quinclorac being a new one for me. [/QUOTE]
