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.
