Moles

[gt383mag]

used to have them all the time got some insecticide the killed the grubs and they left ... funny thing the neighbors yard got infested

I have also heard that if you get rid of the grubs then the moles will leave.

I have also heard of dogs that will track them down and dig them up. I think if a fella had a dog that would do that, you could almost make a living with him.

Never heard of "poisonous worms" before...

Does anyone have a Product or Brand name for the insecticide that kills the grubs?

Problem with insecticides is they are not discriminate on what they kill. I like to see frogs, toads, lightning bugs and so on. Insecticides screw up the food chain that ultimately comes back to us.

Diazinon.

I was told years ago this would kill the grubs and the moles would go away. I've had a jug for years and never used it.

Use milky spore to kill the grubs. Google it. I think it gets kinda pricey for the coverage I need.

Here's what I used 2 yrs. ago. Hose end sprayer & grubs gone.

I have two cats that dig up moles and leave them for me all the time. quite funny to watch.

I agree with this statement , i do not like using pesticides/insecticides/chemicals. We have enough chemicals in our enviroment already.

I had a mole problem also and when doing some research , i went with mole traps. I can't remember the name brand , but they are everywhere. You place them in the mole run and they are a spring loaded mole piercing death trap.

I put two traps out and caught six moles within a week !!

Preen is an herbicide. Just saying.
