That's the plain truth. If moles are still active in your yard, traps
are the -best- control. Good advice, ds.

Very discouraged here folks, am new to mole elimination as you can see as
I was conned into buying the mole bait at the store. Am cluless on traps
too. are there services around that do this type of thing. Bought this
beatiful home only to be haunted by a freakin mole! or 2.

any help would be appreciated.

I'm sure there are services to do it but,,, It's going to cost you and this
will most certainly not be the last time you will have a mole problem. That
said, most any decent hardware store will have mole traps. There are two
main types, one is a spear type and the other scissors. They're relatively
easy to set up and use but are rather gruesome, yet effective if used
properly. Everything else is mostly smoke and mirrors. I have used one
product called mole scoot (applies via application with hose) that does seem
to chase them off but it's never a long term solution (chases the mole to
neighboring properties or untreated areas of same property), until it wears
off.

Your best bet is to find a source for traps and learn to use them, they're
inexpensive, reusable and effective. Naturally you will also want to keep
children and pets away from set traps. BTW chances are a service would come
out and set traps then return to check them and dispose of the remains.
You'd still have to keep children and pets clear. And you'd be paying a
premium for their physical presence, (service call) and labor.

Don't know enough yet or which hardware store in your area has them?
