Hi all, Each year around this time in upstate New York Zone 5 we seem to
get a lot of moles. Once the snow covers the ground & then melts in the
spring our lawn looks like a construction site. Does anyone have any
suggestions on how to get rid of these guys?

I've heard that if you pour used cat litter down the holes they look for
some place else to live. Cats eat baby moles -- certainly ours did. The
smell of cat urine will drive the moles away to another location. Doesn't
help your neighbors, but it'll help you.

If you get a spring harpoon type trap and learn how to use it it works
great. I get them everytime.

God forbid any wildlife trespass on our lawns.

I have 7 acres of woods that they can play in all they want but they are
not going to tear up my lawn.

These mole traps are pretty specific to a tunneling mole and will not have
any affect on other critters walking around your lawn. They have a set of
spikes aimed downwards towards a tunnel or tunnel opening.
