A big tks to DS549,shane, buzzard, joet and more that I can't recall.

I had to hire a trapper; but he was very knowledgeable and set 2 traps
and caught the critter the first night.

I am concerned enough to learn that craft as another mole might show up
and I don't want to go through this all again. So I might buy a
scissor trap or 2 and wait for it. One thing, it is a SKILL to set a
trap correctly I have learned, thats why you don't see many folks doing
it. He just made it look easy.

He also showed me the possibility of Voles being in the yard and
suggested some basic mousetraps with peanut butter on them next to their
holes. I will give that a try.

What do I do with ole mounds of dirt. Remove them and re seed or what.
Is the dirt ok to seed in?

How do cats find the moles since they live in the ground and folks claim
cats will get them?

tks again all.
