I have moles on my property. I need to get rid of them.?

Question

I tried using: poisonous gas bombs and the subsonic sound emitters, but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions for proven meathods of ridding your property of moles would be great.

Answer 1

You can try trapping them but they are very difficult to catch. If you do try do not touch the traps directly use gloves.

Moles have a highly developed sense of smell. I put unlit firelighters in the runs, the smell lasts for a long time and they hate it so move on somewhere else.

I saw this on TV I think it was Jerry Baker.
Buy the biggest cheapest bottle of pine oil and gently lift a portion of the hill pour in some of the pine oil and lower the soil trying not to disturb it too much. Do this to tunnels and hills as fast as you can because they can dig a tunnel exceptionally fast. Get some helpers
They can burrow as fast as one foot/minute
I used 4 of the giant size bottles and had help. Got rid of the mole though.
Unfortunately nothing is humane about getting rid of them. My choice my 90+ year old dad falling into the holes and onto the ground.
They crawl into the pine oil and get sticky and itch crawl out of the tunnel and die. Sorry!
My neighbor used it and it worked for him as well.

Remember, moles eat insects and earthworms, not nuts. Poisons are also a danger to family pets or other wildlife.
The use of insecticides to destroy the mole's food source is also not recommended

Answer 3

If you're bored and have a good dog, you could stalk them by looking for the ground to move, and train your dog to sniff em out.
then, you must have stomach enough (and a long enough knife) to plunge the blade into the moving earth.
The dog will then have a great time digging the bloody mess out of the ground and shaking it to death with it's teeth.

Your dog will absolutely love you for this, and thank you for the grand ole time hunting moles with its master.

Answer 4

road flares. count how many holes they have made at ground level and go to the automotive store and buy this many flares. go home and get a chair and a hose. light each flare and stick them in all the holes. take a seat. have your hose ready in case a fire erupts.flares last about 15 minutes. this may sound totally crazy to you but it works. it also works on gophers.

Answer 5

My cats loved to attack the moles. They got all of them out of my yard within a month. Get a good hunting cat.
