MOLES ...argh!

[dewdropsinwv]

I have moles everywhere. It's not good because when my dog gets on a scent, she wont come off it and digs huge holes in my yard..... like I don't have enough holes!
Might try some of those tomcat mole traps

Do snakes eat moles ?

Home depot sells mole poison that you put into their tunnels. It is quite effective.

Good Question! I do not have snakes here in town to find out.

Looking for active tunnels, just bought some.

Good luck with your hunting expedition, Carol! You don't need to have your beautiful flowers in harm's way.

@Nyboy , I think snakes will eat anything they can stretch their ugly face around!

We had 2 dogs and a cat that would occasionally dig up the tunnels, so I feared using the poison.

Moles tunnel and eat day and night. One or two of them can make it look like there's a whole herd of them. One year several tunnels appeared in a short time. I trapped 2 the entire summer, with no more sign of them. The most I have trapped in a season is 7, on a little over an acre.

They will continue to move in from other areas seeking food. For me, a trap has been the most economical way to control them. I empty the trap on the side of the road, happy crows.

DH is out of town, I do not know where he put trap. He will set it when he gets home I also got some milky spore. Time to get that put out.

I poked holes in tunnels to determine where the activity is last night. They have not used those tunnels or made new! I will check again in a.m. Could I have scared them off by posting my war tactics? LOL I sure hope they are gone! So far all I did was sprinkle the area with the castor oil/soap mix!

We can always hope.
