Crayfish living in my yard
I live by the hatchery and this is the second year I discovered a lobster looking animal
Burrowing in my backyard. It stood up on its back tail and tried to attack my dog with its pincers tonight. A google search said I may have crawfish/crayfish infestation??
Anyone??
Is this possible?
In New Jersey?
In my backyard?
We have had them in our yard! We do have a pond and a small stream on our property, however, when I've found them they were dead and far from the water.

You can collect them and release them into a pond or stream. Or take them back to the hatchery.
Thought I was seeing things two days in a row on Mitchell Terrace. Both days I saw what appeared to be something with claws, like a large crayfish, being pecked at by a bird. Both times the creature was in the road.

Yep D.. you weren’t seeing things... my daughter has a pick of one on Mitchell rd in the middle of road
She almost rode her bike over it!
Invasion of the lobster looking things!!
I just can’t believe there are these crustaceans that burrow in the grass and come up looking to fight a Bassett hound ! Lol
It’s not a creature you think of as being a pest in northern nj
And then you find them crossing the road!!! Lol
Not really ijay..only when the pool water splashes out or overfills... I think it might have to do with being backed up to the hatchery ?
