G is correct. The only way to effectively control them is to eliminate their food source which is Japanese beetle grubs. Treat your lawn with grub killer every couple of months and the moles will be your neighbors problem
If you got moles, especially if they're funky looking, I'd see a doctor and have them removed! lol
theysaidHowever, I've found a 3 inch .410 shell fired into moving ground where they are working is very effective.
Thanks Slab....I had thought of that....
If don't mind a few holes in the yard I got dog I'll rent out .
used to have them come in and worked out fun way to take them out. find active tunnels by stomping down a section, you come back next day and it is back up do this. Stick hose in above the active area and turn on, if they are close by you will see movement and their nose will stick up out of ground to breathe. you can use ball bat but you slash mud all over yourself so I used my frog gig and you spear em. end of moles and you have a trophy you toss into your neighbors bushes you don't like.
Or you can do the grub spray thingy but my way is more fun.
Mole cat.
Jerry Baker had a program on public tv years ago, jerry baker dot com. Mother-in-law bought the set of books that he offered. He made tonics and a few tricks for most every lawn problem without using chemicals, poisons. The bad thing is his tonics and tricks would detour, but not get rid of moles. Here's a list of things to try.
When trimming roses or blackberries stab the stalk into the tunnel, cut it off at ground level and step on it flatten the tunnel down. Do this a foot or so apart. The mole finds the thorns and goes around.
Chew a piece of Juicy Fruit or bubble gum until soft, soft gummy candy will do the same. Dig into the tunnel to find both holes, place a piece in each side then cover hole. The gummy stuff messes with their fur. They will go around.
Hair from a barber/beauty shop placed in the holes then covered. Messes with their fur. They will go around.
Hot pepper flakes, sauce, powder, can be mixed with water and poured or placed into the holes. Mammals don't really like hot stuff. They will go around.
Human male pee or laundry ammonia poured into the tunnel. They don't like the smell. They will go around.
Human male pee poured along the edge of a garden will keep critters out.
Don't use human female pee, it's as good as Round Up.
Granules are good if you want to kill the worms too.
The best thing I've found are these. https://www.harborfreight.com/solar-...ser-94661.html
They are good for a 60 to 80 ft circle depending on soil. The batteries last a year or 2. I have 20.
I tried the urin trick,my neighbors called the law when they seen me peeing in a mole hole.
I disagree with the old advise about killing grubs to kill their food source .That is misguided since earthworm are their major food source.Take the time to google "mole control" and you will find a lot of info from reputable organizations among them several different university studies with limitless valid information.
I used to use the pronged traps and caught only a few occasionally.The trap I now prefer is the wire tek or the easy trap.They resemble scissors and you have to put them in an active feeding run.These traps don't miss-you have to remove the mole from the trap.
If I am lucky enough to catch one digging a 12 gauge ,3'' ,#4 turkey load does a real good job.......
oh one thing I forgot to mention,it was their yard
Grandma used those old style traps that stabs the mole when it trips the trigger. Like Ken I had a fiest dog once that was absolute death to any mole around. The chemicals work well from what I hear but I've never tried them. I got a big yard, 5 acreas, and it wouldn't be practical.

PS I have 4 short haired Terrriers you are welcome to Have!!!!!!
A jack russel is good also. But you will have to buy a load of dirt to fill the holes :biggrin
When I first moved into my house there were several moles in the yard. One day I looked out the window and saw a black and white cat from the neighborhood sitting in the backyard staring at the ground. Something stirred and that cat leaped into the air, landed on a spot and started digging fast. Pulled up a mole and trotted off. All of the moles disappeared soon after. Never was much of a cat fan, but that one won me over.Quote:
