Do you have problems with mice, rats, raccoons, skunks, opossums, or other rodents and wild animals that like to visit your yard and home in the middle of the night? Many of these animals are scavengers looking for food, water, and shelter.
Your yard could be a natural source of food if the animals eat ants, worms, or other bugs. Your grass could provide a source of water the animals need, as well as shelter if the uninvited guest is a mole, gopher, or rabbit, or another burrowing animal.
With artificial grass installation, you eliminate the things that attract rodents and wild animals to your property. You don’t have to worry about having holes dug in your yard or discovering new burrows with nesting skunks or bunnies.
You also no longer have to worry about your yard looking like a topographical map from gophers and moles digging holes underground and creating uneven raised areas. As an added bonus, you may not have to worry about snakes slithering through the lawn, looking for rodents and other small animals with a synthetic lawn.

How Does a Synthetic Lawn Get Rid of Rodents and Wild Animals?
Rodents and wild animals do not like artificial turf. With proper installation, they also do not have access to the dirt which is buried under a layer of compacted gravel and covered by the synthetic grass and rubber infill.
After installation, the pests and bugs rodents and wild animals like eating won’t be found in your yard. Instead of wasting time looking for food, they will skip your yard and seek out natural grass yards at your neighbors’ homes.

Will My Yard Be 100% Rodent- and Wild-Animal-Free?
While artificial lawns will reduce the occurrence of rodents and wild animals in your yard, they don’t entirely eliminate them. For instance, if you have flower beds, shrubbery, a small garden, or other dirt landscaped areas, these can still attract rodents and wild animals.
Additionally, the artificial grass will not stop wandering dogs from doing their business in your yard. Cats, on the other hand, should not be an issue, as long as you have nowhere for them to dig like a flowerpot or another landscaped area with dirt or sand.
Cleaning up after a dog is easy by picking up the waste and hosing down the grass. The synthetic lawn has antimicrobial properties, so it resists bacteria found in pet waste.

What Else Can I Do to Prevent Rodents and Wild Animals?
In addition to artificial grass installation, you could take other steps to further prevent rodents and wild animals from accessing your lawn. Some people fence in their back and side yards to create a barrier. Since wild animals and rodents cannot dig holes in artificial grass, they cannot dig a hole to get under the fence.
Another option, if you cannot have a fence, is to move all dirt landscaped areas to border areas around your property. This will keep rodents and wild animals from coming up near the home, in most cases. You will also want to secure trash cans and keep these inside your garage where they are not accessible.
Getting an artificial lawn installed can help reduce and keep rodents and unwanted wild animals away from your home. Plus, you will no longer worry about having your lush, green yard destroyed.
