Moles also eat earthworms, it might be argued that earthworms are more 
plentiful than grubs and, therefore, are eaten in greater numbers than their 
menu superiors.  I have had wonderful luck inoculating the yard and garden 
with "milky spore" disease.  The drawback of a twenty year inoculation is 
that insecticides kill the disease spores too, and it takes about a full 
season for it to take full effect.
So, if you're willing to be patient and not get panicked into using a lawn or 
garden poison, I recommend milky spore grub disease.
