I had a problem last fall with a skunk digging up my lawn. I treated for grubs then and am getting ready to do so again.

I use grub killer on my lawn, cut their estimated effective time in half. Had an issue with moles too but some C02 gasses from my trusty C-141 took care of them for 4yrs. See a couple trails this spring so it looks like they might need some more gas treatment this year though. :lol:

“Laughing gas" for you; not so much for the critters!

Trying to support pollinators, I have stopped using poisons.  I use milky spore for the grubs, and these when i find mole tunnels.  (They are quite effective!)
