Moles in the lawn


Question
I live in central New Jersey.  For the past three years we've been having problems with both our back and front lawn.  I have about 2 acres of lawn.  First, it was the grubs.  We've been applying grub control since then.  I'm planning to put down Grub-ex the first week of June.  And last year, we started to have moles.  I applied mole-be-gone from Home Depot last year and I'm still seeing tunnels.

Answer
Hi anne;
Go on an organic lawn program and make a healthy enviornment for lizards, toads, grass snakes and beneficial insects, and you will not have a grub problem or ny other harmful incests.
Toads and lizards eat grubs, toads eat slugs, and they makes them my best friends.LOl
Moles? Dust some ceyenne pepper down those holes and they will leave.
As you see a new tunnel opening, bring out the ceyenne. and very soon they will leave your yard for a yard where they can have a tunnel they can breathe in.
Cayenny pepper irritates their little noses, just like it does yours, and they will leave that place right away. You can shake some down each hole as you see it, and they will soon give up.
Critters that breathe through a nose, do not like ceyenne pepper.
