I live in the NorthEast. Last autumn, moles did a job in my front yeard.
It was late in the season and I was told not to put "molex" down, but I
spayed some solution I got from the local store. I don't thik it worked.
The ground is just starting to thaw (half the yard still covered with
snow) and they are alreadyw digging holes.

How can I get rid of them? Should I start spreading molex as soon as
the snow is gone? Multiple applications? Will it harn the grass?
Should I be trying something else? We are talking about dozens of
holes/tunnels all over the yard.

There has to be *some* way of getting rid of them, right?

Any help is appreciated.
Chris...

Sometimes simply eliminating their food source with a grub control product
will help...sometimes not.

The most effective mole control is a mole trap.


Thanks, I appreciate the info. I've also been reading on the subject
(on-line) and you are right, there is no easy solution :-( Most repellants,
chemicals, etc. apparantly don't work. Trapping appears to be the only
effective way of doing it, and if you have more than a couple of moles, it's
a long term process. Oh, well,... I think I'll order a few traps and give
it a shot.
