Moles
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! Ron |

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. John Ron |

John Ron- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text -- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - You haven't ruined my joy one iota. Actually I knew that moles dig tunnels to find food. I also know that the chief food source of moles is earthworms. What kind of gardener would like to rid his garden of earthworms? I know that killing one mole is not a permanent solution to the problem of moles. An abandoned/empty mole run will probably be recolonised by another mole sooner or later. There is NO permanent solutions to moles. Even killing all the grubs will need to be repeated. If and when another mole pays us a visit I will use my Detauper again - I still have 4 explosive 'petards' left. But thank you for taking the time to respond. Ron |

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. -- Billy Bush and Pelosi Behind Bars http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KVTf...ef=patrick.net http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1009916.html |

I inoculated my 2 acres 10 years ago and have not had a mole problem since then. But, if you take pleasure out of blowing them up, knock yourself out. I prefer other entertainments and since I am the primary source of labor around here I am always seeking out labor saving methods.

If the temperatures are too cold, milky spore doesn't work that well. Ironically, you actually need some grubs to continue your innoculation because new milky spore is only produced by grubs ingesting it and then dying. -al sung Rapid Realm Technology, Inc.

Hopkinton, MA (Zone 6a) I am in NH, zone 5 and my Milky Spore is doing just fine. It is true that new grubs are necessary to keep the spores coming but one infested grub results in millions of new spores. It is not like an "infestation" of grubs is needed to keep your soil inoculated. There will certainly be adult beetles that fly in and lay their eggs that result in grubs to feed the spores. But the spores keep the grub population down so that moles and other grub eating critters are not a problem. John |
