Please be careful in the selection and application of insecticides,
especially when applying to large areas. Not only do moles eat grubs, but
so too do birds, and insecticides of the wrong types can harm them in many
ways, some of which are insecticide-specific.
Checking with your local agricultural agent or the local "master gardener"
program can produce a wealth of information on insecticides and on which
ones may be right for the types of "grubs" in your local area--along with
data on human, pet, and other animal safety measures.
