any good devices for mole prevention.


One place I lived had an issue with moles. I located one of the
tunnels and inserted my garden hose. I ran the water for about two
hours. No more moles that year in my back yard.

I got cats.


The garden hose trick does not work to get rid of cats.


The water would be useless unless your soil is amazingly non-porous to water. In
my yard, it wouldn't stay in the tunnels more than a few feet.
