I have heard it all. Egg shells, chewing gum, banana peelings, flooding, peppers, human hair, Soap and bacon grease, humane urine, chemical pellets and even smoke. Sorry, but it’s all worthless. You’re going to have to get rid of them and do so aggressively. For best and quickest results, use the spring traps (I saw some at Wall-Mart last week). Place them over the "runs" that you see thought your yard. Then the moles go through, it triggers the trap and you'll have one. Be sure to re-set the trap for another.

Poison peanuts/wheat also work, but results are slower. These are made by the W. R. Sweeney Company. I have also, if you have the time, walk on the mound that is left when they dig & just wait. Soon, you will see them going through the tunnel by raising the dirt again. Quickly dig them up w/a shovel. You have to move fast to get them this way. Odds are good; you won't be able to kill them fast enough.

Until you solve the real problem, you will continue to have moles. They are in you yard because there is an abundance of Grubs there. Just like another animal, they have selected your yard for the abundance of food there. You can treat your yard with a Bayer product, Merit or a Scotts product , Grub EX. It is a granular product that spreads on the lawn much like you would spread fertilizer. A product that has Bifenthrin, sometimes called Talstar as an active ingredient in it will also work well. Another possibility is to add nematodes to your yard. The nematodes can be found at most of your Mom and Pop garden centers, and feed on Grubs. Another product many people have had success with (myself included) is Milky Spore. To treat the lawn, just put a spoon full at 3 foot by 3 foot. Milky Spore lasts for many years. Understand, it will only kill the grub in its larva stage and will not harm the existing grubs. These are much more organic approaches, but as is normally the case with organic solutions, results will be slower. Rid your yard of the Grubs and your mole problem will not be resurfacing.

Secure your plants roots from moles and let them tunnel in between. Take a 1 gallon sized or 5 gallon sized plant container and use as a form to wrap chicken wire around. Then with tin snips, cut out a bottom piece and wire it on. Place in ground and put plant inside, fill with dirt.
Moles do a nice job of keeping the soil aerated. Instead of making creatures without a habitat, find ways to co exist.

the best result will be to use a product called Talpirid. it is a gummi worm like product u take out of package, use probe or 1 inch diameter stick poke mole run and insert worm in tunnel then cover. u can find product at a Lesco company near u or lowes have it also but under a genaric name. it usually come in an 8 pack. but to use cut worms in half then follow directions on package. Space them out outside perimeter the inside. grub products dont get rid of moles it just kills back their food. i would call prof. to get best results but make sure they are using the worm bait i garutee results if done right. good luck

smelly, nasty cat urine cat sand! I fyou have a friend who has a cat that uses a litter box-ask if you can get some of the "used" litter-especially the urine soaked sand. then go and find the openings to the mole hills, scrape off dirt to open the tunnel entrance and pour the smelly sand down the hole. cover back up the hole with dirt. Used cat sand is a predator smell and moles, gophers and the like will think a cat is waiting for them. Worked for me on half an acre of gardens!

You dont wanna listen the clever, respectable solutions, dont ask a query. Dr Frank used to be spot on - pass see your GP to have them eliminated professionally.

You dont wanna hear the sensible, authentic answers, dont ask a query. Dr Frank was spot on - go see your GP to have them eliminated professionally. The reason it disappeared is because you scratched and picked it away. This mole you may have now wishes seeing to professionally before you emerge as within contamination in it.

Get some bottles, plastic or glass and bury them half way down into the mole hill with the open nick above ground. The noise of the wind blowing across the bottle with go down into the burrow and the moles will leave and infect your neighbours..............
