Darn Mole
Moved in to a nice home last June only to find a mole(s) have also. the
critter is in a small part of the front lawn, numberous mounds areound the area showing off their tunnels. I treated lawn with GrubEx 3 weeks ago realizing that will reduce grubs in the future. Am so frustrated, I purchased some MoleTox II, of course store said it was a snap to use. anything I should be aware of using it? tks for any tips. bill Upstate NY area. |

"What is moletox 2? A bait? "
Now Steveo, according to you, I'm supposed to be just an armchair idiot with bogus advice, but even I know that Moletox is a gel bait mole poison. So, what does that say about you dear? |

Oh, and to the OP, I've tried similar gel baits, without much success.
Please let us know how it works for you. |

"Baits don't work, too bad you didn't know that."
Steveo, Buzzard, whoever you are. If you look at my post made 10 mins earlier, at 10:11PM, you'll see I stated: "Oh, and to the OP, I've tried similar gel baits, without much success. Please let us know how it works for you. " Check and Mate! |

asizzor type mole trap , the one with the two separte wire handles for
setting it is the best trap ive used. you have to did a hole in an active tunnel to get it down in there , ive killed 75 moles in the last three years with two of them and the traps were only 13.00 ea i think... baits and poisons and grubex wont get rid of them .i got the traps at gemplers.com .let us know how you make out , im passionate about mole hunting. lucas |

If moles are still active in your yard, traps are the -best- control. Good advice, ds. Very discouraged here folks, am new to mole elimination as you can see as I was conned into buying the mole bait at the store. Am cluless on traps too. are there services around that do this type of thing. Bought this beatiful home only to be haunted by a freakin mole! or 2. any help would be appreciated. bill |

Bought this beatiful home only to be haunted by a freakin mole! or 2. any help would be appreciated. bill I'm sure there are services to do it but,,, It's going to cost you and this will most certainly not be the last time you will have a mole problem. That said, most any decent hardware store will have mole traps. There are two main types, one is a spear type and the other scissors. They're relatively easy to set up and use but are rather gruesome, yet effective if used properly. Everything else is mostly smoke and mirrors. I have used one product called mole scoot (applies via application with hose) that does seem to chase them off but it's never a long term solution (chases the mole to neighboring properties or untreated areas of same property), until it wears off. Your best bet is to find a source for traps and learn to use them, they're inexpensive, reusable and effective. Naturally you will also want to keep children and pets away from set traps. BTW chances are a service would come out and set traps then return to check them and dispose of the remains. You'd still have to keep children and pets clear. And you'd be paying a premium for their physical presence, (service call) and labor. Don't know enough yet or which hardware store in your area has them? www.Google.com joe |

I'm not sure what I got, but last night I had my dog fetch whatever it was
moving in the dark and he caught it. I'm pretty sure its a mole/pocket mole, but never seen them out of there hole and this one was out of his hole. I used Fox Urine in all the holes I could find on my property to try too get ride of it so maybe it irritated him enough to move, but we will never know because he's dead now. I have had some luck with the smoke bombs, but not effective. Going to switch over to the traps next! Let me know if you have any luck.

A half stick of dynamite and some gasoline works wonders on a mole hole.
Locate every surface entrance and pour one gallon of gasoline into same. Plug holes with 1/2 stick of dynamite with detonation cap. Wire caps with detcord. Retreat to a safe distance, say "Au revoir, Monsieur Mole!" and hit the detcord. Of course, you may require some slight turf repair after treatment. billw wrote: Moved in to a nice home last June only to find a mole(s) have also. the critter is in a small part of the front lawn, numberous mounds areound the area showing off their tunnels.
