Expert Response
Sorry to say, that will not eliminate moles. Moles are meat eaters and will eat whatever critters they find in the soil including worms and the larvae of other insects. Also, applying mole killers/repellents has to be timed. Otherwise you are wasting your money and just applying chemicals unnecessarily to your soil. https://extension.umn.edu/news/white-grub-control-lawns https://extension.umn.edu/planting-and-growing-guides/how-trap-moles
