Could anyone give me good advice how to get moles out of my yard?

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鈥檚 all worthless. You鈥檙e 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 %26amp; 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.Could anyone give me good advice how to get moles out of my yard?
Buy and use a mole trap. Or, stick a piece of bubble gum into their hole. I hear Juicy Fruit works well.Could anyone give me good advice how to get moles out of my yard?

THe moles are probably eating insects in your yard.Go to a home imp. store like Lowes and get the mole bates and traps.
I've heard that putting chocolate in a tunnel will get rid of them.


Also, placing a small transistor radio in there and playing radical music, it don't have to be loud. A good mouser cat if you can find one. I hope this is helpful.
I just killed 3 of them........the hardware store has these worms...they are like gummy worms and u put it in the hole and BAM! Dead!
Toss Moth balls in the holes or plant Castor beans. The plant repells rodents (but it's also poisoness to humans...not good to have around small children)
The problem is not with the moles. You have grubs in your yard, they are the food source for the moles. If you get rid of the grubs, you will also get rid of the moles.





Go to your garden center and they will be able to sell you the products to get rid of your grubs.
Seven dust it helps with every thing
yeah....ball up some human hair and put in their holes...or human urine will work also
