  Crawdad eradication

My property has low spots that stay wet for awhile after rains. Crawdads thrive in this area & build their mounds, especially after the rain comes. Does anyone know of a way of getting rid of these pests? I've got about 1.5 acres of lawn & get literally hundreds of mounds during the wet season so i'm looking for some way of treating the lawn rather than sticking a mothball down each mound or some such remedy.

  Crawdad eradication

Thanx for the reply Chief, but drainage isn't practical for me. Some areas I've got are lower than the culverts along the road out front! I found this out when i tried to cut a drainage ditch to the culverts & the water from the road drain back into my property! The only thing i've thought of so far is to bring material in to fill in the areas. If i have to i will, but i thought i'd check with y'all first to see if anyone had an easier (and cheaper) fix.

Man I'd eat'em too if i could catch em! Maybe that's an idea..i'll figure out what they eat, lay a line of it from the yard to the cooking pot & taa-daa, the pied piper of crawdads.

F350Lawman, I know what you mean about the rains too. About 2 months ago I got 15" over a 2 week period & then 3 weeks ago we got 6" overnite as another front moved through!. As they say, when it rains, it pours.....at least here in south Texas.

  Crawdad eradication

my house is high enough that adding material to the low spots wouldn't matter. I was just trying to see if there was an easier way of taking care of my crawdad buddies.

The suggestion to see if the county would give me their byproduct material is something i'll need to look into. If that worked out it would be a match made in heaven. Another guy i talked to said to see if the swimming pool companies would dump their dirt at my place instead of wherever they go now.

thanx all for the ideas.
