Eradicating moles

[Mcdust]

As has been said before here: mix 40% cement with 60% corn meal. carefully fill the hole and cap it so no innocents are exposed.
I have had great success with this method

Since moles eat meat, what does that accomplish?

Moles eat grubs. Treat for grubs and theirs no food. No food and they go away.....

I just want to affirm how important and correct this is ... if you do not eradicate the food source you will always have moles ... just that simple.

They have taken over my yard this past year. Barely can walk without twisting ankle.

It seems like it would be difficult and not desired to eliminate all the earthworms in your soil, since that is a large part of a mole's diet.

That’s what I am trying to figure out…..

That's what we've been trying to tell people for a couple decades. Yes, moles eat grubs like I eat chocolate eclairs. But their primary food is earth worms. You shouldn't put down grub control unless you have a grub problem. If you don't have a grub problem (patches of dead grass), you don't have moles feasting on grubs. It's just that simple. They're eating something else: earthworms!
