Anyone have a good method of ridding their lawns of moles?

[proggosaurus]

I'm near the end of my rope here and I've only got a few strands left before I plummet into the depths of purgatory. It's no longer just a molehill, it is a mountain. I'm afraid there are millions. they call it Mordor.

satire has a deadline...please help!

I've battled with every possible defense known to man and folklore but failure is my only accomplishment. under the cover of darkness, I became Mario and slipped into the secret entrance with Kevin and Brittany in tow. if all else failed, the Spederline's love child was my last hope. the Beebe...surely, nothing can survive that. I was wrong. it was a trap and they lie in wait. an onslaught of Ephel Duath blitzed me from every direction. a bloodbath ensued yet somehow I escaped. battered and bruised, I'm hanging on for dear life. below me, a sea of beady red eyes moves violently in a broiling cauldron of undulation.

a hostile takeover is inevitable. I languish in humiliation, overwhelmed by a legion of woolly bean bags. I need help, a lifeline, some small glimmer of hope. send me your armies, send me your cousins, send me all of your women or there will be no more jive amalgamation.

They eat grubs. Get rid of the grubs. Or just live with it, like the rest of us do.

Get a Ferret!
Make sure there are birds of prey or foxes around.

These days the males are looking for females and they are making nests for the small ones. It means they ar pushing soil up to make room in the top where its dry. They love earthworms.
Are you sure its moles, it could also be water voles.

silliness aside, I've tried that for years. I've treated my lawn with everything they've got. their worse than ever. they're definitely moles. I read that only one mole will cause all that destruction and fight another till death over their ground. that's insane and we think we got territory disputes. Ferrets you say, I'll try anything at this point.

adding insult to injury, the neighbors pets must think my varmints are better than theirs. I didn't send out any open invitations for dinner everyday. yes, please remember to dig at least 25 holes apiece before leaving and don't forget yer doggie bag. I'll check back in later for any other suggestions. thanx all.

Cats? I've seen every small varmint known to man with it's feet up in my driveway. Some of 'em are either shrews or moles, I don't know what the difference is. My neighbors had an old garage and used to have tons of rodents, sneaking into their RV and even basement. They haven't seen one in four years since my wife started letting our cats go outside.

[Dave (in MA)]

Can't help, but I find them (or are they voles or shrews?) dead in my pool any time it rains overnight.

They get unceremoniously lacrossed into the woods via pool skimmer. I think I might have gotten one to go over 100 ft once or twice.

There's a documentary film called Caddyshack that has lots of ideas for killing burrowing rodents.

I've tried a hose, not much success...neighbor's ( a real Cat Lady) cats not much help either. I'd Caddyshack them, but that's a wad of felonies I don't need...

[Big Ears]

I had a neighbour who whacked each mole hill with the back of a large shovel - numerous times before he moved onto the next. I assumed he was trying to make enough noise to drive the mole away. Watching him, I thought, 'That will never work.' But, the hills disappeared for several years.

I never whacked a mole but I whacked the wife a time or two. I hope it works better on moles. I did take notice of their dissappearance last summer when it got so hot and dry. I thought all my concoctions finally worked and ohhhh, did I ever brag.

I may have a solution though. you busy next weekend Jed?

Lawns are over-rated.

We have a local guy who literally goes by the name "The Mole Man". He comes out to your property and sets up traps that catches and kills the moles. He surveys your lawn and knows exactly where to put the traps. He told me its the only method that words. All those products on the market don't work. You have to catch 'em and kill 'em. The Mole Man is very effective. I think he makes a good living.

[markwoll]

Way back in the day, my father gassed them. Some sort of a poison gas smoke bomb.
They are still available somewhere in the states, Walmart, etc. Atlas Giant Destroyer
Carbon Monoxide is the killer I think.

sound advice. a good trap is most effective but...

The Mole Man it is then. I know a guy like that. I should go see him. maybe he can help. it's gonna be a long summer

[ronmac]

We get maintenance treatments every quarter for pests. But they don't treat for moles, because they can't guarantee that they will be able to keep them away.

They're already dead, so I'm just trying to see how far I can launch 'em into the woods.
