Odds are you have a good supply of grubs compared to your neighbors. I've used milkyspore, and besides not having a dead lawn, the moves have moved away. Most of the time. 2. Remove the mole's desire to futher by smashing in his head. If you see him, use a shovel, but HD sells mole traps. I'm not for option 2, since 1 worked for me. later, tom @ www.Consolidated-Loans.info |

HELP !!!!!!!!!!1 By coincidence, I heard someone on a radio call-in show yesterday say that dried coyote urine (available commercially) can be scattered around mole tunnels. Supposedly, they will leave the area because they believe predators are present. Note: I have never tried this, but it sounded interesting. MaryL |

Now if I don't have money for the real stuff... can I just load up with beer and go around filling up the holes myself? Someone ****es on me, I might get the hint to leave. :) tom Note: I have never tried this, but it sounded interesting. MaryL |

It is expensive and certainly won't last after a rain. |

Actually, it's one of the most effective ways that there is, to keep garden pests (deer, rabbits, etc.) out of gardens,. Many studies have shown that. Odor-based repellents that act upon fear are the ones that get the best results. For whitetail deer, studies have shown that bobcat urine is significantly more effective than coyote urine. Someone farther up in the thread joked about providing the repellant themselves. Actually, studies have shown that to be also effective, but much less so than coyote. Coyote urine comes in both a liquid and a dried form (humans can't smell it, even the liquid). It is expensive How so? One doesn't need to treat the entire lawn, only the areas around the beds with the plants that are a food source for the pest. A 16oz container of the dried runs about $15, and a gallon [also comes in 8oz at about $20) goes for about $115. Considering a little goes a long way, and it's more effective than probably any other repellant, how is it expensive? I suppose it all depends on how much you'd like to keep your garden beds looking as you planned them, when you set out the plants/seeds. and certainly won't last after a rain. There are dispensers that shelter the product from just such an occurance. -- Eggs -If a cow laughs hard, does milk come out its nose? |

MaryL Who has the job of putting the coyote's pecker in a bottle and saving its ****? That job would have to pay pretty well, and the coyote would still be freaking out. lol |

Light a road flare and shove it in the hole and kick dirt over the
opening. It will keep burning, but you don't want the smoke to come out the opening. That acrid smoke is enough to kill anything that breathes it. |

Hi, delurking here. We have voles, very similar to moles except they live on the water's edge. A handful of dried hot chili peppers does the trick while being environmentally friendly. Just toss a good handful or more if you want down the hole.

Brings out their flavor, if you plan on BBQ'ing them. ;) Seriously, I think the mole will just go around the whole that has the peppers in it. later, tom @ www.FindMeShelter.com |
