Can you train them to eat weeds only?
because if you could you'd be a rich man.

They generally eat around most weeds. On the other hand, if all you have is
weeds they won't hurt your yard enough to be noticeable.

There's always a silver lining.

We have protection from grubs down here in Texas, in the form of
armadillos. They're about the size of your average possum 'cept they
have a hard shell (hence the familiar dish "possum on the half shell")
and small bony head. Long claws for digging and a long long tongue.

You can tell when they've been out the night before protecting your lawn
by all the &^%#$** holes they dig lookin' for the grubs. That tongue is
about ten inches long. Pointy and sticky at the end like its got pine
tar on it. Gets the grubs like anteaters get ,well, you know. Ants.

customers want me to get rid of the moles. I reply let me get
rid of the grubs. they say the grubs are not the problem, it's
the moles digging up the lawn causing the problem. then I reply,
have you ever heard of root cause analysis? then they ask what
do you think is wrong with the roots of my lawn.

We are blessed with raccoons and skunks for our digging pleasure here. They
make a terrible mess out of things too.

Actually, worms are the moles most frequent meal. Killing the grubs may not
rid you of the moles.

true. however worm populations sufficient enough to attract
moles will leave visual signs above the surface making it rather
easy to determine if worms are present and therefore the root
cause of the mole population. grubs also create above ground
signs of their presence with dead patches of turf which are easy
to peel back revealing the grubs. it's always best to actually
determine the cause of the problem before attempting any solution
to what is thought to be the problem.


Killing the grubs may not
rid you of the moles.

it's all a matter of making the proper diagnoses

Yup, same here.

When I find grubs at work, I toss them on the cart path. Within seconds,
every time, a mockingbird will swoop down and grab the grub. It's nice
watching the grub meet it's demise, and I swear the mockingbird whistled
"thanks". =D

Speaking of grubs, I have some damage in a few sections here in NJ,
which is unusual, never had a problem till now. What do folks
recommend as the most effective treatment right now?
