Question:

I've got some moles in my yard and I'm worried they're going to get in my garden? How can I stop them?

I've heard moles come to get grubs, should I try to kill the grubs or is there a way to just stop the moles from getting into my garden?

Answer:

there are traps to humanely capture the moles, but moles are a useless animal -- sorry, but I'm not a big fan of them. Mole pellets work best, and they're available in most home and garden centers for a few bucks. Sprinkle a few in all the mole runs or gopher holes and you'll find them dead in a couple days. DO NOT use this stuff if you have little kids running around (especially those that would pick up and eat things that look like rabbit turds). By far, the best thing to control grubs is Milky Spore. It's a biological control (hopefully that makes up for my previous kill all moles answer) that will kill grubs for 10-15 years. Again, you can find it in Home Depot or Lowes, but look for it online if you're covering 10,000 sq. ft. or more.
