Q&A - How do I get rid of grubs and moles in my yard?

Question:
How can I eradicate grubs/moles in my yard? 

Answer:
Moles dig through a yard primarily looking for earthworms.  They can eat grubs too. Grubs are beetle larvae that eat the roots of plants.  Moles can be eliminated by trapping. Set the trap on a long straight tunnel for best results. Grubs are generally not a problem until they reach the “economic threshold” when it becomes effective to control them with insecticide.
