Mole Coutrol by Grub Coutrol 
In many cases moles in the lawn area are present because the lawn has an infestation 
of beetle grubs. These grubs are active in the spring and fall, feeding on the roots of 
the grass. As a result the grass plants become weakened and in severe cases die off, 
especially if the summer is hot and dry. Weeds, particularly crabgrass, take over with- 
out any resistance from the grass. 
Therefore, grubproofing a lawn plays an important part in weed control as well as 
mole control. Grubs attract the moles just as a worm attracts a fish. The moles enjoy 
feeding on these grubs, and as long as the grubs are present, the moles will be there. It 
Is most Important that the home owner having mole trouble check the lawn area care- 
fully for grubs. These grubs work only in the sun, so it is not necessary to grubproof 
shaded areas. 
Many materials are used to grubproof a lawn. 10% DDT or 6% Chlordane can be 
used at the rate of 6 Ibs. per 1000 sq. ft. These materials are best mixed with a carrier 
such as sand or an organic fertilizer, and then applied with a fertilizer spreader. Scotts 
Pest Control may also be used at the rate of one bag per 11,000 sq. ft., without any 
mixing with a carrier. Arsenate of Lead has been used in the past, but because of its 
poisonous nature and high price its use has been on the decline. It has been stated by 
lawn experts that arsenate of lead is effective in controlling crabgrass and other Iawn 
weeds. ‘To control grubs in the lawn with arsenate of lead, 10 Ibs. per 1000 sq. ft. should 
be used. This, too, should be mixed with a carrier. 
These grubproofing materials will be effective for at least four or five years. Another 
advantage mn using Chlordane, DDT, or Scotts Pest Control is that these chemicals are 
also effective in controlling chinch bugs, which do considerable damage to the turf from 
early June to frost. As a result of grubproofing, the grass grows better and is able to 
give the weeds a better fight.
