| Question: | "Our low-lying fairways are damaged by large holes made by land crabs. How can these creatures be destroyed?" |
|---|
| Source of Question: | Virginia |
|---|
| Answer/Response: | "Land crabs frequently become troublesome on low-lying fairways and may be destroyed by dropping a piece of calcium carbide into the tunnel. The carbide unites with the water at the bottom of the hole, making a gas which kills the crab. Although this treatment would seem at first thought impracticable when one considers the hundreds of burrows to the acre that are sometimes made by crabs, yet if the treatment is done on somewhat the same plan as weeding would be attempted the crabs may quickly be controlled." |
