The R rated version is to **** in the yard where the little *******s are, so they move next door! Find me a mole that likes your sent? -- Oren "I don't have anything against work.

Are you sure you want to get rid of them? I believe they eat some pests that could be worse for your yard than a few mole holes. |

They do eat pests. They eat grubs. Theoretically if you kill the grubs, the
moles will move on. Or if not, **** on your lawn ,lol "FH" wrote in message ... Are you sure you want to get rid of them? I believe they eat some pests that could be worse for your yard than a few mole holes. the WHOLE yard if all lumpy of dirt. |

Moles do eat grubs but their primary food is earthworms. Lar |

moles
i use traps on them ,the sizzor traps i like the best. but
sometimes they are pushing mounds and no tunnels.so i dig into the mound to find the tunnel and pour bleach or gasoline down the tunnel. believe me,they leave that area.had a few run out. http://www.minibite.com/america/malone.htm |

Bet you are near a woods edge? Moles like to eat grubs just like skunks. Moles will eat earthworms. My twofold solution was 1) Apply milky spore to the lawn. Spores multiply and spread lasting for 10-15 years. Harmless to all plant and wildlife. Kills grubs. Drawback is it takes a couple of yrs to get fully established. 2) While the milky spore is establishing, Took in a dumped off cat who became very appreciative. Sits next to me here as I write after 15 yrs. This cat had to hunt and kill to survive after being abandoned. Even though he was kept fed after I took him in, nothing was allowed in his yard. Used to bring home moles, snakes, rabbits, squirrels (got some damage screwing with them). Watched this cat refuse to move off the sidewalk as an Akita came towards him. Made all kinds of ugly faces and sounds. Akita actually walked around. Fisher cat showed up for one summer. Cat didn't mess with that though. Somehow they just know. Anyway, once cats see something to hunt, they will very patiently wait for hours for a repeat. This guy cleaned up my yard and the neighbors of moles. Meanwile milky spore matured. After a season or two the skunks and moles chowed elsewhere. |

You have the worst kind. The sneaky kind. Cats are instinctive killers. Those who hide their instincts are E-V-I-L, and I wouldn't trust them. We have a new cat from the rescue pound. A little darling, and now she thinks she's a hunter. Hasn't caught anything bigger than a cockroach yet, but she sure is trying, and she's a hoot to watch in the back yard. One mockingbird dive bombed her, smacking her in the butt, and she decided that was enough fun for the day, and spent the rest of the day in the security of the couch. It's a jungle out there.
