Mark from Charleston, Sc writes
I believe I have an issue with mole crickets. There are smaller (about 1 inch to 1 1/2 inch wide) tunnels running through an area that is lower than the rest of the yard, and has lots of dead grass. I have been reading that one wants to apply a mole cricket treatment to kill the nymphs/younger mole crickets, but I'm not sure about timing. The weather in my area is in the south, and it varies a tremendous amount. 75 at the highest, and 40 or so at night. Any tips? What would you guys suggest? Should I use Talstar?
Talstar would be a great product to use for mole crickets and gives complete instructions on the product label for timing on the different stages though you should contact your local cooperative extension office to find out the best time to start spraying in your region.
