Moles (varmints)

[sidebite252]

Man I’ve got em. Been looking for info on how to get rid of em figured I’d ask the gang if any of y’all have had em and how the hell do I get rid of em? They’re ripping up my yard.

A friend of mine had them and they just tore up his yard. He took a gas lawn mower and rigged up a flexible exhaust pipe extension and put it in the holes and then started it, made it so it burned rich with smoke from the exhaust and gassed them. Took a few times but they either died or moved on, Good Luck!

Hard to eradicate the nocturnal underground little cocksuckers.

My land has sandy loam soil so I got a lot of um out there.

Fun to plink um with a 22 but very hard to do so since they come out mostly after dark and they rarely pop up out of hole for long.

Have trued a couple times so far seems Im batting 1 out of a 100.

They sell traps and stuff but I have yet to find a surefire way to eliminate the suckers.

Make an adventure of the mole eradication. Mount some high power lights, build a small "blind", bait them and wait until they show up (after dark) to dispatch them with a .22 short (less noise!).

They like to eat grubs....and earthworms.
You can use a poison to kill the grubs...the mole activity will increase but they will move on.

Get a dog. Ours detest other animals in the backyard and dig them up when they aren’t on lazy. I have found random holes the dogs have dug up to hip deep in their quest to eradicate them.

It is an ongoing battle for me. I can’t put out various other things to kill them since the dogs may decide to sample it or the mole later.

For us, the best time to find the moles at the surface are at night or after enough rain that the soil is saturated...we have 18-24” of sugar sand on top of clay...

Google moles and chewing gum. I have heard of a very simple process,

I have tried every trap known to man and have yet to get one. Put out the worm baits yesterday in desperation.

I have the gophers dialed in with the combo of the Gopher Hawk, spring traps and my .410. Started using strychnine bait at the end of last season and it worked great.

The moles, however, are evil creaturez

Man some great thought, ideas, and insight. I like the idea of turning this into an adventure.

That video Baboon posted had me in stitches laughing. Looks like fun actually. I got to figure something out.

I now have a need for a suppressor.

The documentary “Caddy Shack” has an instructional section for underground varmints.

This looks like enough fun to make me wish I had moles!

Between the cats and dogs, my mole problem is well under control.

Now, if they would fill in the holes it would be perfect.

From what I’ve read and one man I have spoken with, 1/2 stick of Juicy Fruit gum put into a mole trail and bam no more mole.

This is the documentary that @Hoji mentioned you need to watch on mole and gopher eradication. Very educational too.

I used some poison I got from my father. The dogs going after the moles and gophers were doing more damage to the yard than they were!

Have to be careful with some sweeteners in gum and dogs. Xylitol can kill your pups...
