Well, I know we had this discussion awhile back, but I'm desperate.
Those pesky moles are back with a vengence. I know they are supposed
to be solitary critters, but I'm having a real hard time believing it.
My backyard looks like a terrorist training camp is being held just
below the surface!

So let's revisit this. . .I've tried putting chewing gum down the
holes. I've tried the gas sticks, which about killed me from the
fumes. I've poured Clorox down the holes and plugged 'em.

I've tried killing off their food source (the worms and the grubs).

Can you guys give me your latest best advice regarding these bane to
the garden?

I 'feel' the 4 most likely to work methods are the following;

1. the 'traps' (killing type)
2. the Giant Destroyer (smoke bombs)
3. Tom Cat (Talpirid) baits
4. Propane

Of course, all the above require extreme attention to detail and/or a
full understaning of what might happen if used improperly.

I'm pretty sure the Giant Destroyer worked for me and my neighbor for
several weeks. problem is, a neighbor further down the street(I recently
discovered) had mole(s) and I think another one just moved into the
existing tunnel network.

they are infuriating
