Castor oil for moles
Posted on 8/29/21 at 6:09 pm

Anybody here ever try to use diluted castor oil to get moles out the yard? These frickers have been getting at my lawn this summer and read that castor oil makes the yard and grubs smell like shite so the moles move along. I was wondering if anyone has ever used this or if I should jump right into getting the granulated grub killer and getting the whole yard

At PestStop, the mole killer product is 100% castor oil if you read the ingredients…

I haven’t found anything that works on these devils.

I have tried castor oil and it didn't phase them. In fact, I have tried everything with no success.

I had tried a lot of things last year(traps, smokes, baited worms), but the only thing that I actually think worked was doing grub killer. I didn't notice a difference last year, but this year has been much better. I have one main track that I can't catch the damn thing with a mole trap, I have some in my landscape beds but otherwise none in the lawn this year.
My understanding is that it does usually take a year or two of consistent grub killer use to get results.
Most of the grub killers(merit/arena/grub ex) are preventive/kill early in the life cycle, so you should get it down in may/early June. Otherwise not very effective.
Dylox is a pesticide you can put down now to try and kill the adult grubs if you want. Should still follow up next year with one of the above pesticides in may/June.

Apparently if I make a post about it, then something actually happens.
Looked out this afternoon and saw the trap had sprung. It had been sitting for 2-3 weeks, and I meant to pull it yesterday but forgot. Caught one of the damn bastards.
