Can anyone give advice on how to control a mole invasion in your yard?

( My first question..thank you for answering )





Having a lot of problems with pesky moles taking over the yard. I would love to know of any


( original ) ideas other than the standard traps, pepper, gum or Castor Bean plant suggestions.Can anyone give advice on how to control a mole invasion in your yard?
To get rid of moles you have to get rid of the food source, grubs. Grub control treatments are most effective in late summer when the grubs are newly hatched and shallow in the soil. I have posted a link for you in eradicating the grubs. It is beneficial nematodes.


What are nematodes? Nematodes are naturally occurring, earth friendly microscopic worms.


Please see website I have posted for you.Can anyone give advice on how to control a mole invasion in your yard?
Go to the grocery store and get lye and put it in the tunnles they will lick it off their feet and die
In my area they go after grub worms in the soil. I used a multi-purpose insect controller. Sprinkled it over problem areas and I haven't had a problem since.
#1 You have to use Grub-ex in early summer.





#2 Get a hoop type mole trap, it's the only kind that works.


There may not be as many you think, one mole can do a


lot of damage.


They are solitary animals, if you kill it, there may not be


another.
As crazy as it sounds, they hate hard rock music. If you can find a small transistor radio, put it on a hard rock station turn it on, drop it into their hole and they will leave.
Get a cat! We don't have a problem anymore.
Sounds cruel but placing broken glass in their runs is a possible way to ask them to go elsewhere. Another is cedar shavings and mothballs pushed into their tunnels.





Although these were mentioned, juicy fruit gum worked in my case. A tablespoon of Castor bean oil mixed with two tablespoons of liquid detergent until it looks like shaving cream. Add to warm water in a sprinkling can and pour over trouble spots. But only after it has rained.
um a baseball bat hotdogs and cyanide
Yeah. Get a cat.
We've also had problems with them, and this is what we did. Take dog poop and shove it down their hole. I'm not kidding! I guess they feel they're being invaded and won't use that hole again! My sister also used to do this and she no longer has any moles around, and neither do we.
You can put a cheap radio on a rock station in the hole really loud and that will keep them out of the yard and doesn't cost a lot of money, or spray your yard for grubs as that is one of their favorite foods.
