Getting rid of moles list...

-Dynamite.
-Wait patiently near mole hole with shotgun.
-Run exhaust from car/truck/lawn mower into mole hole. (Be careful that
these holes/tunnels do not go to under your or neighbors house.)
-Place poison gas cartridge in hole.
-Ex-lax.
-Moth balls.
-Chewing gum.
-Bubble Gum. (Moles blow bubbles, when it pops they go crazy and wander off
trying to lick it off their whiskers.)
-Mole traps.
-Mouse traps.
-Drowning with water.
-Castor oil.
-Castor beans.
-Castor bean seed.
-3 oz. of castor oil, 3 tablespoons liquid detergent, 8 tablespoons of
water. Blend till frothy, spray yard.
-Plant pepper spurge around the perimeter of your yard.
-Cat litter in holes.
-Sprinkle Drano in the tunnel.
-Mole barrier 16 to 18 inches into the soil, and about eight inches above it
surrounding your property.
-Place two "jam jars" back to back in mole tunnel, then cover.
-Place human hair in tunnel. (Causes moles to inflict self wounds - moles
allergic to human hair - Since they can't make their blood clot they bleed
to death.)
-Ultrasonic devices.
-Sonic torpedoes.
-Solar moler http://www.clearsolar.com/
-Electrical vibrators or plastic windmills which send slight tremors through
the ground.
-Border your yard with pinwheels.
-Lay a thorny limb in the hole then cover the hole.
-Place crushed glass in tunnel.
(The idea of sharp objects is that moles are said to be hemophiliacs and if
they cut themselves, they will bleed to death.)
-Use fresh human urine on mounds.
-Treating the soil with "milky spore disease" to kill grubs. (Said to kill
food supply.)
-Get a cat that likes to hunt small animals.


Have an exterminator come and bill it to your health plan as "Removal
of a suspicious looking mole".
