Hi,


For those of you who are searching for a remedy for moles, have tried
all the folk remedies without success. let me give you the answer.


I have been pestered by the little blighters for years, on and off.
This year particularly bad. After lots of research on the net, I came
across a French product called 'Le Detauper'. (Une taupe = a mole.) I
live in France, by the way.


I bought one yesterday afternoon, and set it about 6pm in the evening.
By 10pm I had caught and killed a mole!


It cost about ¤60, came with 5 little explosive devices included, but
you can buy packs of more of these. I have no interest, financial or
otherwise, in this company.


I am very impressed. It really works!


Sorry to ruin your congratulatory parade but you are spending time and
money dealing with the symptom, not solving the problem.


Moles, like all critters, go where there is food. *Their food is
grubs. *Got grubs = got moles. *Eliminate grubs = no moles.


I use Milky Spore which eliminates the Japanese Beetle grub, that big,
juicy, white guy. *No grubs, no moles, no skunks, no grub eaters at
all.

Let's see. That's about $90 for 'Le Detauper' vs. $20 for enough
Milky Spore to treat 2,500 sq. ft.

John, why can't you save us more? ;O)

2,500 sq. ft. That's about 250 m2. Less than half the size of my
garden. A mole tunnel can be as long as 250 metres. Not so much of a
saving, eh?

Ron


OK, we'll be reckless, and go for over kill. Well buy enough for
more than your garden. We'll buy enough for 7,500 sq. ft. (675 m2)
and now we are only $30 ahead. So, which is better (1) no moles,
or, (2) no moles + $30 ? ;O) Another way to look at it is that you are
covering 675 m2, not just treating one spot. Obviously, the
smaller your garden, the more cost efficient Milky Spore is, but
hey, if you got money to burn, go for it.
