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.
