These have decimated my garden!!

[so lucky]

Last time I checked it seemed really expensive, but since you only have to apply it once or twice, and it won't hurt the beneficial insects, I think it is probably worth the money.
The moles are really bad here this year. My DH has fallen down on the job of setting traps, and I haven't had much luck digging them out like I used to, so they have really torn up our lawn.

I check on the price... it is expensive about $90.00 for 40oz of the stuff. With my huband being out of work since last Dec., that is not in our current budget! I suppose I can just keep digging them up... and feeding them to the chickens.

We have them here too, but they havent been as bad this year. We got moles really bad! They have tore up my island and rose bed.

Just get a small quantity if you can afford some.

Or perhaps someone who has some would be willing to sell you a 1/4 bag?
So far, these haven't been a probelm for me.. Well, not directly. My lab is a grub hunter. I have no idea how she got started on this but she wanders all over the yard with her nose on the ground. Then suddenly she will stop, dig a little, and then walk off chewing something. I almost never find a grub when I dig around - but I DO have perfect little ankle breaking mini-ditches all over the place.

You can also plant 4 O'clock flowers. It is more of a next season solution, but the adult beetles LOVE the 4 o'clock but it is deadly poison to them, will kill them in just a couple of minutes.
