Maulwurfsgrillen: Gänge im Boden erkennen & natürlich eindämmen

Maulwurfsgrillen leben im Boden und graben weit verzweigte Gänge. Dabei können sie Wurzeln schädigen, Jungpflanzen „abkappen“ und Rasenflächen unterhöhlen. Mit gezielten, natürlichen Maßnahmen und dem passenden Nützling lässt sich der Befall sinnvoll reduzieren.

ⓘGryllotalpa · Maulwurfsgrille #Gänge · Wurzelschäden · Jungpflanzen

Was ist die Maulwurfsgrille?

Die Maulwurfsgrille ist ein bodenlebendes Insekt mit kräftigen Grabbeinen. Sie lebt überwiegend unterirdisch, frisst je nach Angebot Wurzeln, Keimlinge und kleine Bodentiere und kann durch ihre Grabtätigkeit Pflanzen lockern oder beschädigen. Schäden treten besonders im Gemüsebeet, bei Jungpflanzen und in lockeren Böden auf.

bodenlebend gräbt Gänge Jungpflanzen gefährdet
Wichtig: Verwechsle Maulwurfsgrillen nicht mit Maulwürfen: Maulwürfe sind geschützte Säugetiere. Maulwurfsgrillen sind Insekten – die Schäden sehen aber ähnlich „unterhöhlt“ aus.

So erkennst du einen Befall

  • flache, unterirdische Gänge nahe der Oberfläche
  • aufgeworfene Erde oder kleine „Rücken“ im Beet/Rasen
  • welkende Jungpflanzen trotz ausreichendem Gießen
  • abgeknickte/gelockerte Pflanzen (Wurzeln untergraben)
  • Fraß an Keimlingen und Wurzelbereichen
Green Guardia Tipp: Gänge lassen sich oft sichtbar machen, wenn du den Boden leicht anfeuchtest: Dann brechen Hohlräume schneller ein und du erkennst typische Laufspuren.

Welche Bereiche sind besonders betroffen?

  • Gemüsebeete und Frühbeete
  • lockere, humusreiche Böden
  • Rasenflächen (v. a. frisch angelegte Bereiche)
  • Kompostnahe Zonen und feuchte Gartenbereiche

Warum kommt es zu Maulwurfsgrillen im Garten?

  • feuchte, lockere Böden bieten ideale Lebensbedingungen
  • reichlich Nahrung (Wurzeln, Keimlinge, Bodenorganismen)
  • ungestörte Bereiche über längere Zeit

Natürliche Maßnahmen & passende Nützlinge

1. Jungpflanzen schützen

  • Pflanzringe/Schutzkragen nutzen (besonders bei frisch gesetzten Jungpflanzen)
  • Beete in der Anwachsphase regelmäßig kontrollieren

2. Bodenmanagement

  • stark betroffene Bereiche vorsichtig lockern und Gänge stören
  • Staunässe vermeiden, gleichmäßig aber maßvoll wässern

Empfehlung Nützling: Nematoden (Steinernema) gegen junge Stadien

Nematoden (nützliche Fadenwürmer, z. B. Steinernema-Arten) sind eine sehr gute natürliche Option, weil sie im Boden aktiv sind – also genau dort, wo Maulwurfsgrillen leben.

  • Warum passend: Maulwurfsgrillen halten sich überwiegend unterirdisch auf – Nematoden erreichen sie im Lebensraum.
  • Warum sinnvoll: Sie wirken besonders gut gegen junge Stadien (Nymphen), bevor große Schäden entstehen.
  • Wichtig: Bodenfeuchte ist entscheidend – Nematoden brauchen einen feuchten Boden, um aktiv zu bleiben.
Warum diese Empfehlung passt: Da Maulwurfsgrillen selten offen sichtbar sind, greifen Maßnahmen an der Oberfläche oft zu kurz. Nematoden sind im Boden mobil und können den Befall dort reduzieren, wo er entsteht.

FAQ zur Maulwurfsgrille

Ist die Maulwurfsgrille gefährlich für den ganzen Garten?

Meist sind vor allem Jungpflanzen und empfindliche Beete betroffen. Bei starkem Auftreten kann es aber auch im Rasen und in größeren Flächen zu Schäden kommen.

Woran erkenne ich den Unterschied zum Maulwurf?

Maulwürfe machen typischerweise größere Hügel. Maulwurfsgrillen verursachen eher flache Gänge und „Rücken“ nahe der Oberfläche – plus Schäden an Keimlingen/Jungpflanzen.

Wann ist der beste Zeitpunkt für Nematoden?

Wenn junge Stadien aktiv sind – häufig im Frühjahr bis Frühsommer oder je nach Witterung auch später. Entscheidend sind feuchter Boden und passende Temperaturen.

Kann der Befall wiederkommen?

Ja, je nach Standortbedingungen. Mit Bodenmanagement und Nematoden lässt sich der Druck aber oft deutlich senken.
