Frequently Asked Questions

1. I have a MOLE problem? Does this mean I have Grubs?

Mole activity does not necessarily mean that you have a grub problem
The majority of the Moles diet is earthworms. Earthworms are highly beneficial to the environment and we do not apply anything harmful to these valuable organisims.

2. When is that best time to water and how much?

Heavy Infrequent Watering
Using a Sprinkler? Water for 2 hours per area minumum preferably in the early morning
Using a watering system? 1/2 hour per zone minimum preferably in the early morning
Light watering can cause thatch build-up and damage to the lawn
Do not water on highly humid nights - could cause disease issues
If extreme temperatures are in the forecast, heavy watering prior too, will help keep your lawn healthy.

3. Will your products kills all my weeds?
