Stop Freaking Out About Grubs So Much!!!

Grubs DO NOT = MOLES!  Yes, moles do eat grubs...HOWEVER, their primary food source is the earthworm!  The diet of the average mole is at least 80% earthworms!  I agree that grubs CAN cause damage to your lawn but the majority of you will not see actual grub damage, and keeping a healthy lawn will naturally help keep the grub population down.  As for the moles...if you live near a wooded area you will never be able to keep them out!  They will come in for the earthworms and other food sources no matter what!  At the first sign of mole runs contact your lawn service provider.  They can come and put specially treated worms in the run that will kill the mole.  These worms are made to be like candy to moles.  We have had excellent sucess with these in our customers' lawns!  They are also very affordable and even if you have several problems over the season, the cost is very budget friendly.  Stay tuned for an upcoming article about controlling grub populations with healthy lawn practices.
