Default Any new ideas to get rid of moles?

Moles eat grubs. Get rid of the grubs and the moles will move on to
annoy your neighbors.

In our area (NH) the primary grubs are Japanese Beetles and Milky
Spore eliminates them nicely. No JB grubs and no moles for 7 years
now from one inoculation of Milky Spore.


I saw Milky Spore at the store but there was no mention to use it on lawns
or garden soil. Do you make some kind of drench?


There are two ways to apply it depending upon which formulation that
you buy. One is spread by a broadcast spreader just like fertilizer
or lime. The other is spread through a tube depositer in a grid
pattern. I used the latter.

I understand that the manufacturers are recommending more than one
application. I did only one and am grub free.

MS is not a short term cure. It takes a while for it to inoculate
your soil, a year or so.

Remember, Milky Spore is effective only against the Japanese Beetle
grub. If your problem is any other type of grub then Milky Spore is a
waste of time and money for you.
