I have a herd of moles that are tunneling beneath my lawn. Iunderstand that moles are supposed to be solitary creatures, but I havea hard time believing one critter could be this destructive.Occassionally, the dog in the yard next door will dig one up, so I knowit is actually moles, that are doing the damage.I've tried the little wind driven decorator devices that make theground clatter, I've tried pouring clorox down their holes. I've triederadicating any worm and bug problem, I may have, hoping to remove anymole food source. . .All to no avail. This has been going on forseveral years now!Help!Myrl Jeffcoat

The white powder you are talking about is called Milky Spore. It is expensive, hard to apply, takes a year or so to get established and it doesn't work in colder climates.

You should not be spreading Sevin to kill off your earthworms. They are good for your yard. Sevin is toxic to bees also.
