Moles
Every year, my lawn is decimated by moles. Only one at a time but it's amazing how much damage they cause and over such a large area.
And every year, I set traps for the little ****ers and every year, it seems they get better and better at evading them. They trip 'em but the traps never seem to grab 'em. Some times, I'm lucky and happen to catch movement in one of the mounds they create, so I grab my gun (usually my carry weapon - a .40 cal) and shoot straight down in the center of the mound. I've never missed. Except gotta clean the gun over one lousy round! /vent |

Mix two tablespoons of any dishwashing liquid with a quarter cup of castor oil. Dilute the two tablespoons of the castor oil and dishwashing liquid mixture in a gallon of water. Spray it all over the infested areas.

Chickens will take care of them.
They will eat the grubs that moles/voles eat. Then the rodents will die off or go elsewhere. Added bonus is that June bugs/Japanese Beatles will be gone, too. |

Should we have a poll to figure out your role dealing with a mole in a hole?

Your problem is not moles, it's the grub worms and other critters living in and under your grass. Treat the bug problem and the moles will go someplace else.

Pardon me, but if I kill all the golfers, they'll lock me up and throw away the key!
