Does Grub Control Get Rid of Moles?

Moles taking over your yard can be frustrating—but understanding what’s actually causing the damage is the first step to fixing it. 🌱

In this video, we break down the relationship between moles and grubs, and explain why grub control won’t eliminate mole activity in your lawn.

While moles do eat grubs, their primary food source is actually earthworms. That means even if grubs are removed, moles will still have plenty to eat—so grub control alone won’t solve a mole problem.

However, grub control is still extremely important for protecting your lawn. Grubs can cause serious turf damage by feeding on grassroots, leading to brown patches and weakened grass—especially in late summer and early fall.

🌱 What You’ll Learn:
✅ What moles actually eat
✅ Why grub control doesn’t stop moles
✅ How to identify grub damage in your lawn
✅ Why grub control is still essential
✅ The best ways to deal with moles

Key Takeaways:
❗Moles primarily feed on earthworms, not just grubs
❗Grub control helps prevent turf damage, not mole activity
❗Brown patches that lift easily may indicate grub damage
❗The best way to eliminate moles is through trapping or professional removal
