Question:
What is the best way to get rid of moles in your lawn?
Answer:
Moles tunnel through the ground looking for earthworms and grubs. UT Extension Agent Walter Battle says he has found harpoon traps to be effective. Moles are active during the morning. You can see them digging and dig them out of the ground with a shovel. Also, some dogs and cats will dig them up. Killing the worms and grubs is not a good option because they are important for the soil. Also, some of the old tricks like putting chewing gum or ammonia in the mole holes do not work.
