| I have moles in my backyard!!! Anyone know how to get rid of moles??? I see all their trails in my backyard. The ground is soft and mushy. I know my dad used to just walk on the trails and push them down. I don't know what I would do if I actually see one

| Moles are attracted to grubs. If you treat your lawn for grubs, then the moles will go away . . .

| I don't think so, that's the hard part. I know that when DH fertilizes before the rain comes, the dogs cannot go on the grass at all until the fertilizer gets soaked in. We have a patio area that they use during that time and wee pads inside. Grubs are nasty beetle larvae and last year when Rhianna was running through our lawn they were all attached to her underside of her hair . .it was NASTY pulling off all those little worms

| We have major mole issues. There is only 1 true way to get rid of them. .. cut off their food supply, which is grubs. You need to have grub control put on the lawn. But this is not immediate, it could take until next summer before they are gone. My boyfriend's friend is a contractor and he told me that fruit flavored gum just broken up and thrown on the ground may kill them. He think they eat it and choke on it. But he was not sure how effective this really is. Ive been stomping down mole trails for years... this year we've finally got the funds to get the yard treated by a company who will get rid of the grubs. wooohooo We have a lot of damage control to do now!

| We use a company called Tru Green, they did say 24 hours before the pets or kids should go on the lawn. We don't treat the backyard so the dogs can go out there still. I have never seen a mole. No matter how many trails Ive stomped on, I never saw one. BF thinks he got the one in the backyard, there are no new trails for awhile now. woohoo

| Let me send Ringo over! See his superior digging skills in my Avatar? No mole can escape THAT. Of course, your yard won't survive either, but that's a different story.
