I have several moles in my back yard how is the best way to remove th problem?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 3

Set some sticks of gum out in the yard. The moles will eat them and the gum will stop them up and....well, let's say you'll get rid of your mole problem.

If you're just looking to scare them out of your yard, maybe someone else can help with that.

Answer 5

For a non-toxic and non-harmful way to your problem, try some windjammers. You know. Those funny little decorations that are in the shape of animals, like a roadrunner, that have feet that rotate in the wind? The vibrations detour the diggers. It may look a little cheesy and trailer trashy, but it's safe and effective.Happy Gardening!!

Answer 6

Pour a mixture of hot sauce and epson salts down the holes. The epson salts put nitrogen into the soil and the moles hate the hot sauce.

Answer 7

Walmart sells a mole repellant in the garden center. I've been told it works, but I've never tried it. Never needed it. But it's pretty cheap anyway. You just stick the mole spike in the ground in various places.

Answer 8

Get a rubber mallet and sit out by all the holes. Whenever a mole pops its head out, you whack it! 100 points for every mole.

Answer 9

Haha, I read this question wrong and had to take another glance at it.(Moles on your back) Anyways, call your local outdoor pest exterminator.They should be able to give you home remedies and if those don't work, hire the big guys.Good luck!

Answer 10

sadly you can set up like a mole trap/cage, then you just let them go somewhere .. far away haha. I know someone who had that kind of problem, you can't really call anyone to come because it's outdoors and they are free to go where ever.
