What is the natural predator for a mole? Something that hunts them as
a food source?


Wiki has an article on moles at:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mole_%28animal%29

Only predator mentioned in the article is dogs.


Damn. While getting a bobcat to get the moles would be undeniably
entertaining, at some point, I would be writing you all asking how to remove
the bobcat. Maybe not a workable idea.

Dogs are great. I have a dog. The only problem is, he's a pug, and unless
the mole is asleep on a donut, the pug wouldn't be a threat.

sigh

I have a cat, a stray no less, who adopted us. Damn cat won't go outside
unless its escorted by three armed humans and runs like a banshee back
in as soon as it hears a dog bark, or a car go bye, or Lord forbid, sees
another cat.

My cat is a worse hunter than your pug.

if your not willing to take some time and learn to trap them ,
then your stuck with all the medicine man stuff that doesnt work.

Try chewing gum. They really like Juicy Fruit. Spearmint not so much.
Once they start chewing, they can't stop. Gets all stuck in their
teeth. Drives them nuts. It is a cheap and harmless solution. BTW,
I'm a salesman for Wrigley's.

If you sold hammers I bet you would recommend a hammer...

Terriers and cats. :-)

I was thinking something a little more wild and violent. A predator
that thrives on a mole, say as a main / partial diet..

Eagle?
