    Try MoleMax. It's made from castor oil and comes in the form of granules. This stuff is safe to use around your pets.

    You must live in a warm climate and have Japanese beetles who are laying eggs (larva) in your lawn. Once the larva develop into grubs, the moles absolutely thrive feeding on them. Once the grubs are gone however, there will still be larva lying dormant in the ground. These have to be treated before they develop into grubs the next warm season and it takes one treatment over a period of 3 - 4 years to get rid of them. I had a mole problem years ago and now have my lawn professionally treated every Fall. Don't hang one of those beetle bags containing phermones to catch them. You'll only be attracting every beetle in your neighborhood to your yard. Good luck.

    well with pets eating them , you will have to trap them. but with the cats going after them , the cats wil prob get them all. i had a couple moles and my cat took them out.

    put out some food for the cats so they will come to your yard more . put it near the moles.

    I've heard you can put Juicy fruit in the ground, not entirely sure how well it works myself but I have family who does it.
