How do I get rid of Moles?
This may be resurrecting an old subject but I have a huge problem with Mole
hills on my lawn in Brittany, France. I have tried everything except poison, this I cannot use because I have three dogs and would not risk their health. I have found that mole hills do not appear in the parts of the lawns that have been treated with "Weed & Feed". Does this product have an effect on the worms in the teated areas or dirctly on the moles? If this is the answer is it possible to make a weed and feed substitute as the commercial product is very expensive here in France and my lawns cover a large area. Any help and advise would be must welcome as would a recipe for weed and feed. Many thanks in advance Gavin |

How do I get rid of Moles?
hi gavin, i have killed amost a hundred moles in the last 3 years, i
use sissor mole traps i got from gemplers.com. i tried the products advertised as mole reppellants and they did not work. i did notice when i put amonium nitrate fertilizer on my back lot that i have garden and fruit trees that the moles left to the surrounding areas for several months. lucas http://www.minibite.com/america/malone.htm |

I also had some black fungus on the fescue. I spread fungicide and they didn't like that.It rained in the next few days . Several came out of their holes and raced around screaming over the next few days. I didn't know they could make a sound. My daughter caught one and took it to school. She had to feed it crickets etc every few minutes. I guess the others went into the woods or died. |

Get rid of the grubs and you should get rid of the moles. I know this from experience. Hawkeye65 |

How do I get rid of Moles?
You guys are making this way too tough...
All you have to do is light a fusee (road flair) and shove it in the hole. Kick the dirt into the hole so the acrid smoke won't come out, instead it will fill the tunnels and the moles will leave. If they don't,,, they will die. The sulfer smell is way too strong to exist. You may have to hit them a few times before they quit coming back. This works great! |

NO gum don't work. Get a harpoon trap and learn how to use it.

Moles are helping you, grubs are favorite food and the aerate your lawn and
garden beds. They are carnivores and don't eat roots, voles do. "dave" wrote in message oups.com... You guys are making this way too tough...
