How to get rid of moles

[dryboroughbrewing]

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

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

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.

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...)

I don't think they intend for it to be used on the dog. Nozzle end is too large.

But it does give me an idea about the neighbors dog. Wonder if they have adapters.

Get some chickens. Between my two cats and chickens, our vole/mole problem went away. We were infested last year when we bought the house. The back yard was nothing but a series of tunnels. Between the chickens eating the grubs and worms and the cats catching the critters, all of our tunnels are gone.

The second benefit of having chickens is really good fresh eggs! Also, my chickens love my spent grains.

No chemistry jokes yet?

Then an eagle for the mongoose.

Then get the NFL playoffs to get rid of the Eagles... Works every time.

Unlikely there's 6.022 x 10^23 of them. Until then, you don't even have 1 mole. Sorry, had to break out the avocado number, which is also useful in making some gwhack-a-molee.

You're a funny guy there Skippy.

+1. Lol

 

[Homercidal]

Well, I can't discern where the tunnels really are right now. The moles seem to have disappeared for now. I'll have to bash their mounds down and keep an eye out for more later. Maybe this rain will get them kicked up again. They were really bad right after the ground warmed up. Or maybe one of the cats ate him.

+1,+1,+1

Every year it's something new in my yard. I had a mole problem once. It wasn't that bad but I used Grub-X. I got rid of their food source and they disappeared. Then again I have coyotes, foxes and now a bobcat problem.

Yes - get rid of grubs and you get rid of moles. That worked for me as well.

How many acres do you have? We can figure out Molality and Molarity from that as well. That's a good indicator of how bad the infestation is.
