Avoiding Moles

Dear Tom & Leslie,

How can I get rid of moles in my yard?

Thanks,

Hi Tony,

Thanks for listening.  So, you've got some unwanted visitors to the yard? Tired of the twisted ankles from falling in their ditches?  Well, you have to do a couple of things.  Moles visit your yard because they love the tasty grubs that live in your lawn.  Grubs are the larvae stage of beetles and they love to feed on your lawns roots.  Get rid of the grubs and they will leave in search of a new food source.  Scotts had a product called Grubex and it can be applied by you at home.  It is best to do it now before the end of July for the treatment to be most affective.  Mow the lawn first so it can best reach the soil and only water after application if you are in a drought area.  Thanks again for listening and good luck!

Best,

Tom & Leslie
