Ground moles are invading my yard, heading for the garden. Any sure
fire ways to get rid of them? I can get some sort of worm that has
poison in it from the pest control place but they are very expensive.
I know chewing gum, peanut butter, etc. does not work. Any ideas or
suggestions? I live in Toledo, Oh, whatever zone that is. thanx

A cat will keep them down but not eliminate them. My cat catches a
rodent a day during the summer, a mix of moles, mice and chipmunks. It
would be nice if I could tell him to concentrate on moles, but he has
his own agenda.



Your cat is a slacker. ;-)

Our gray tabby female used to catch 2 to 3 per day of moles, gophers,
ground squirrels and rabbits.

She was death on garden pests.......


Tesla is also watching my blueberries for me, he did a pretty good job of
keeping the birds away last year. It's like having my own surface to air
missile site.


lol Good kitty...... ;-D

Seriously tho', ever considered bird netting?
It's cheap enough.
