It has been year but poison in tunnels that generated phosphine wiped
out the moles in my yard. I see other poisons are available but don't
know if they work as well. Rule of thumb is if something works well EPA
will ban it.



Do you think that putting Clorx and Ammonia mix in the hole to generate
gas would be effective on the moles ?

Just about all the good working stuff is band by the EPA or some other
agency.



Even as a chemist, I would not mess with that cloramines stink and would
drive moles away and di and tricloramine could explode.

As I wrote, I see there are poisons but do not know if they are as
effective but would give them a try. Zinc or aluminum phosphide
generated phosphine in the moles stomach and moisture in the soil also
generated it in the tunnel and it is super toxic. Google gave this hit:
