Hi Gertrude, Moles can certalinly tear up a yard. they eat grubs but they eat worms and other bugs as well so getting rid of grubs does not always help as you have found out. If you live near a wooded area you may always have issues with moles to some extent. there are repellents with casotr oil in them that do give some management. if not then the other route is traps. this article may help. good luck, sandy http://www.urbanext.uiuc.edu/hortihints/0106a.html
