I am having TERRIBLE mole issues. It started last year and they decided to spread farther. I am looking at not killing them first type route. I was told kill the grubs and bye bye moles. So asking if anyone has experience with this and what grub killer works the best!

Where are you located? My family owns a garden center in Berkeley heights and we only sl the best stuff for your lawn. I personally am the delivery guy so I can't help but I think we use grubx for grubs we also sell humane traps

get some milky spore or nematodes, spread them and let them work.

you will only kill grubs and nothing else.

 

I would steer away from most of the commercial grub formulas only cause they kill the beneficial organisms in your lawn too.

 

Unfortunately, moles love earthworms too.

They'll never be 100% gone unless you figure out how to exclude them from your property. (cats, dogs or chicken wire barriers all help)

 

I still get voles from time to time but I have learned to think of them as free aeration.

I generally use Grubx a d have not had an issue.

Moth balls? I need help with this one I cant remember the exact name put I think putting moth balls in the hole drives them away.

Live in sewell area. Willing to try whatever I can, these moles are annoying! I tried flushing them out with a hose and water but nope! My dog is a little old and legs aren't good (German Shepard) so she isn't caring to well of them. I did have our family friends rottie/bloodhound over and she did kill one last year lol, but I'm trying not to be cruel and kill, would like to just have them go to my neighbors! Lol

I know gum gets rid of them permanently (specifically juicy fruit gum).

I had the same problem 7 years ago. Its not just grubs moles eat, they love earthworms too. All your going to do is chase them out of your yard into your neighbors yard if you don't kill them.. Grubex + spectracide insect killer. Oh yeah Mole smoke bombs. You have to kill them or their food source....

I heard him works too, just never tried.

 

So you think do two? Grubx and specticide?

Just checked the shop we have a mole and vole repellant as well as any other kind of animal repellant and anything to kill any kind of pest..... And of course smoke bombs

You on a well?

I respectfully disagree with those recommendations, especially if you have a well or are near a natural water source.

Or if you have pets that frequent this area.

Do some reading on the subject. Google other methods too.

Insecticides and grubx are bad stuff and it will only work temporarily against the moles but permanently on the environment.

Your soil needs microorganisms to grow grass and other living things. This stuff wipes them all out.

It then takes years to recover.

 

 

 

 

only thing missing is Beer !!

And read the comments there better then the video .

 

Not near well or any water source. And I realized that I had a typo, before I meant to say how I have heard about the gum idea. Ill have to try googling everything out.

Pellet gun or a nice heavy lawn roller.

We completely eliminated a bad mole problem on several athletic fields several years ago. This was a big issue so I did a lot of research.

 

First: gum does nothing. Moles don't eat gum and just ignore it.

 

Grubs are not the problem. Moles will eat grubs but only if they can't find worms and if there aren't worms, they'll move to where there are worms. Worms make up almost the entire diet for a mole.

 

Moles need two things: close proximity to water and worms. The tunnels generally lead back to water.

 

We trapped for years, tried gum, tried crushing the trails, all kids of stuff. finally we found the solution. Talparid. It's a poison in rubber (maybe not rubber) worms that feel and taste like the real thing. It's the only mole poison approved by the EPA with submitted efficacy data.

 

It's not easy to use. The instructions require gloves to keep your scent off the worms and making holes to test tunnels for activity, later placing worms in tunnels and covering the damage. It takes several weeks of work each evening but we got rid of the whole colony in one season. Activity dropped to almost nothing in a few weeks and within a few months, they were gone and they haven't been back.

Laundry detergent and warm water in 5gal. buckets will chase 'em out.

I agree with what some other have said about grubs not likely being the problem. If you're having mole problems now, it's unlikely they're eating grubs since the grub go deep in the soil for the winter and are unlikely to be near the surface yet. Grubs are more of a problem later in the season, typically late May through early/mid September, with peak being July.
