My poor mother has colonies of moles tearing up her yard.
this has been an ongoing battle for the last 5 years.The neghbors think it's funny.
I need your advice on what to do to eliminate them...or at least get the population under control.
Before everyone jumps in with their 'sure fire' method,let me tell you what hasn't worked.
They love Juicy Fruit gum...And Spearmint, and Cinnamon.
We had every dog in a 5 mile radius donate hair to put in the runs. They nested in it! Got human hair from a beauty shop...they liked it too.
We have flooded the runs with the garden hose.
We have dusted the yard with Spectracide to kill the grubs.
We have a 'spear' made from an old flathoe and it works.You just have to stand there till one starts working(yeah,we know..noon)
We have mole traps,and they get one every now and then.
She lives on a busy country highway,so a dog will get killed by a car(and has)Cats get pancaked too.
Poision peanuts don't seem to be effective.She's been soaking them in antifreeze lately.
So you all see...this is now a mission.We have declared war.
She has about an acre and a half that she mows.Everything on both sides and in back are fields.She lets the hay be harvested each year ,so there are no other yards close by.
Now for your input...what_can_ we_ do_????
