Grubs actually burrow deeper into the soil when cold temperatures arrive. They will hibernate until the soil temp rises again in the spring. -

Grubs do not cause moles. Eliminating grubs will not eliminate moles.Woody

Whoa, is this a Mole/Grub 101 thread or what?
Yes, moles eat grubs (and lots of other 'stuff'). But to conclude mole problems are a sign the lawn has grub issues would be a half-a$$ed assumption.
What do the tunnels look like? Straight? Every which way?
Did patches of the lawn mysteriously die back in August?
We can get technical here.....how far do you wanna go with this topic?Comment

The moles are only looking for a meal.....
Straight tunneling usually indicates the tunnel is a established (meaning the mole uses it more than once). A mess of tunneling usually indicates the mole was just seeking out a good food source. Do the same 'zig-zag' tunnels pop back up by the next weeks lawn service?
Tough luck dealing with the moles! There are countless numbers of products claiming to be 'effective' against the eradication/exclusion of moles. Don't buy into them. Good ol trapping might work, but I've never caught a damn mole this way. I've looked into Taliprid(sp?) and it seems to be a fine product which might actually live up to the hype. Perhaps I'll give it a go around next year? Deal is, Taliprid is a pesticide, therefore you'd have to be a certified pesticide applicator to use this product in your client's lawns.Comment

It works very well, I have used it several times with excellent results. Moles are typically looking for earthworms.Originally posted by MASTERMOWERComment
