Any new ideas to get rid of moles?

I have not tried too many products and my best weapon against moles has been a spring loaded trap which drives 2 sets of prongs (about 4 prongs) down into a tunnel when a mole is under the trap. I kill about 2 moles each summer with these spring loaded traps but I still get moles in my lawn the next summer. moles eat grubs (such as the larvae of Japanese beetles). to eliminate the moles, you need to eliminate the food source. i recommend treating your lawn with milky spore. it does take a year or so to show any effect, but it will remain active for 10 or more years. if you continue to use traps or poison bait (which i do NOT recommend at all because any critter that may dine upon your poisoned mole, such as a neighbor cat or a corvid will also be poisoned), you are only prolonging your problem. as soon as you rid yourself of one mole, another will move into it's ecological niche. get rid of the food supply (kill the grubs) & the moles will move elsewhere. lee who has 2 cats & a dog that dig up & kill moles I agree with the last poster. We got rid of the grubs and the moles went elsewhere. And we are next to woods on 2 sides. It has been a pleasure not to see their tunnels and holes the past 2 years. |
