Hi.. Does anyone have any fool proof way to get rid of a mole? I have heard
they are so tough to get rid of.. he is digging up my lawn!! thanks Rainy

Traps work.

I also have other critters in my yard, bunnies, squirrels, and birds.. lots
of them.. can you specify a specific trap that will work on just moles?

Caster Oil. I don't remember if you mix it. Google 'castor oil and
Moles' that should give it to you somewhere. It works for me!
It has to be 'pure cold pressed', not the cheap stuf, avaiable only in
healt stores I think.

thank you very much, I will try this.. not to appear stupid, but what i do
with it once I buy it.. does it go in a trap.. or what?

Traps are placed in the moles tunnel. Not likely to harm any animal except
moles. I like the pincher style trap similiar to gopher traps. Several
other types of traps are available. Check out

Years ago I got rid of mine with a phosphorous based poison in their
tunnels - think it generated phosphine which is a highly poisonous gas.
Other mole poisons in their tunnels cut them down but they came back.

If you or a friend or neighbor have a cat and they use clumping cat
litter, you can stick a *used clump* in a hole or two. The smell of cat
urine will chase them away.

Use a Weed Twister www.weedtwister.com to damage the mole tunnel.
Moles will not return to damaged tunnels. Constant vigilance will
motivate the mole to find other areas.

The only foolproof way to get rid of moles is to use a mole trap. You will need at least two and some patience. Locate a tunnel or air hole, put trap in hole and cover top with a bucket so air can't be seen. Then wait...and wait. You may need to try different locations. Don't poke around too much or you will leave human smell.
