***CRIMSON RED DAILY THREAD***

Got some BBQ pork lined up for lunch.   Kudos on the bacon.

Oh yeah, sorry.

I've used Sweeney's before and poof they were gone. Haven't seen any sign of one for 3 months until yesterday. If you say moth balls will work, I'll try it. They're cheaper anyway.

BTW, the real issue is grubs (insect larvae).  That's why the moles appear seasonally.  They show up when the insects are in larval stage (fall and winter).  Even killing lots of moles might not deter others from burrowing in your yard too.  You can treat the yard for grubs, but it's hardly worth it.

From Wiki: "Moles are controlled with traps such as mole-catchers, smoke bombs, and poisons such as calcium carbide and strychnine, which is no longer available in Britain. The most common method now is Phostoxin or Talunex tablets. They contain aluminium phosphide and are inserted in the mole tunnels, where they turn into phosphine gas (not be confused with phosgene gas)."  

BTW, the mothballs don't last very long; add more occasionally.

Or you could buy a cat.  

   I would have to move in with you. Wifey would send me packing.

You're welcome. 
But... if you do there is no need for a cat...because the cat was to rid your yard of moles, and if you move... you wouldn't have a mole problem, wouldn't need a cat, and (therefore) wouldn't have a wifey problem. 

Is this a circular argument?

Good luck convincing him to get a used previously owned cat to get rid of moles.

Adopt one from south of the border.  They're workers.

Hmm.  Looks like this could lead to one of those in-depth philosophical discussions better left until the dark of winter.  What is that thingy anyhow?  [he asks reluctantly]

Everything is circular, in life and in the universe. Who knows, maybe we've been this way before.

Chech, you mentioned the moles were after the grubs. I do have grubs that apparently came with the sod when I had it laid last year. Is there an effective way to rid of them?

Those grubs metamorphosed into beetles earlier this summer.  The ones you have now came from elsewhere.  As you said, "everything is circular; they're back."

I don't think these are grubs. These are brown, but grub looking. They may be centipede grubs. I really don't know enough about them. Hey, here's an idea, I can do research on the innerwebz 'cause I have a 'puter.

Centipedes and millipedes don't have grubs.  There are numerous species of beetles that lay eggs --> grubs.  More after the games.
