It's that time of year, these little varmints are harassing not only our staff at the golf course but in our home lawns as well. I've attached a video from Caddyshack that you might enjoy watching.
I know this is no laughing matter when it comes to the destruction that they create in finely manicured turf and ornamental plants. I've attached some information from The University of Missouri regarding the various species and control measures that can be used to protect your property from damage. Most of the damage that we experience at Glen Echo comes from the outer edges, cemetery, ditch lines and etc where they have free rein to move in and out of our property.
Most people believe that if you have moles, you have grubs. That could be the case but 95% of a moles diet consists of earthworms. If they see a grub, they will chomp it but they gorge themselves on earthworms that are much more plentiful in the soil.
We have a number of areas on the property that we will be working on to control our population this spring.
