IMHO:

You will have to discourage him from being in your yard.

1. Remove his food supply. 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.

A good clean sharp harpoon trap.

pour bleach into the hole. then pour ammomia into the hole. do not
inhale this toxic mixture. this will create clorine gas which is
heavier than air and will sink into the hole and kill the varmints in
the ground never to be seen again.

gemplers.com has poison nightcrawlers that you put in tunnels.. works
pretty well. lucas

Crud! I went looking for these poison NighCrawlers, but didn't see
them. Are they fake nightcrawlers like for fishing, loaded with
posion, or real ones?

Just curious...

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.

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.

It's just another thing for rich yuppies to spend money on. 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.

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. Problem solved.

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.
