Default Moles, help...

i have the nash traps ,spike type ,and scizzor type. the nash
trap seems to get em about ever time they set it off,its a pretty
sensative trigger. but i get many with a shovel. i go out and walk the
tunnells down, wait 20 minutes and sneak out slowly to see em pushing up
the tunnells.push shovel in behind them and flip em out on the ground.
this method will give you some insight after a while how they work
tunnells, if they get scared,they ususlly wait 20 minutes to start
digging again .ive also put moth balls in the tunnels but dont know if
it helped. when they push up a big hill of dirt they are usually making
a bedroom, i clear away the dirt pile to find the tunnell and pour in a
strong gallon mix of bleach and water,many times they come running out
and i get em with a shovell.i never had success with killing the grubs
or the castor oil repellants.i cut some moles open and they were mostly
full of earthworms . lucas
