[kristiismean]

Get another cat.

my cat took care of ours a few years ago. haven't seen evidence of a mole for a few years now..

My pit bull loves to find moles and play with them. She just loves them to death!

Are you sure they're moles?
Or are they pocket gophers?

Pocket gophers make mounds, moles make tunnels just under the sod.

Moles make mounds as well.

Moles make mounds as well.

All we get here is pocket gophers and the county has a bounty on them.
.75 cents per front pair of claws.
A young kid could make a ton of money over a summer.

I use a cinch trap, works wonders.

Mole make hills. Else how could you make a mountain out of a mole hill?

I have a strong feeling our cats would not allow another one into the family. They are sisters and sometimes fight each other!

They do a good job of keeping mice population down.

What I need is a cat like THIS ONE.

I don't think that's possible. If it were, there would surely be an expression for it.

Apparently weasels eat moles... so I suggest getting some, not feeding them for a few days and releasing them into the neighborhood. Take pictures.

 

[JonM]

Then to get rid of the weasels, get some snakes ...

 

[passedpawn]

Ha. I only opened this thread to find out whether we were talking about rodents or skin blemishes.

Dynamite will work with both.

Then get a mongoose to take care of the snakes.

 

[casualbrewer]

Then an eagle for the mongoose.

 

[Peruvian802]

Get one of these.

But seriously...get rid of the grubs and they will move on.

A buddy of mine had moles so he used grub poison. All the grubs crawled to the surface and died. The birds swarmed in and ate the grubs. Dead birds all over the neighborhood. ...but the moles left.

Throw laxatives out for the seagulls at the beach when it's crowded... then promptly leave.

Don't use a poison like grub-x. Put down milky spore or beneficial nematodes.

Years ago my next door neighbor was about 80+ years old - one of the first Eastern Airline pilots - guy weighed about 100lbs and he had a tiny dog that would nearly knock him over pulling on the leash.

Herb (his wife was Ginger and we nicknamed them the spices).

In any case, he had the giant sword he had picked up in Japan during his youth and would walk around his yard stabbing the mole holes. I swear that sword was heavier than him, but he wielded it against the moles like a samurai decapitating an imperial army officer.

The guy flew his private plane out of a grass strip aerodrome to the very end. Said it was the only way to land (hot air on the grass makes the plane float).

Cheers Herb!

Get a sledge hammer and go out at day break when they are most active.
That's where wack-a-mole came from.

I've heard traps, car exhaust, or Oxygen and acetylene works well.

And napalm. Don't forget napalm.

 

[MeatyPortion]

Bloodmeal might work, also coyote urine.

Otherwise, you could pull a Carl and jam water hoses in the mole hills.

"Great big gobs of greasy grimy gopher guts ... "

 

[GilaMinumBeer]

Bah. Just look at your wives/women for the answer.

Women make moles go away with what they call "foundation".

So there is the answer. Put on a foundation and the moles go away.

+1 to the milky spore. It's natural, not a poison, and kills the grubs that the moles want to eat. We had a huge mole problem, put down milky spore, problem solved.

And napalm. Don't forget napalm.

Napalm is too viscous. It won't penetrate all the nooks and crannies.

This has to be the funnest most entertaining way to go. My neighbor had one until he moved away. So fun. Drink a few and get going. Watch some of the videos, so funny.

Oh, man, I wish I didn't live in town! I bet the neighbors would be kind of upset if I used one of these babies! (and my dog, too...)
