Money well spent.

Moles have been destroying our yard. We have tried addressing the problem with sprays to eliminate their food source, various poisons, worms, etc. This was our last attempt before a likely visit from local law enforcement.

In less than 24 hours we have nabbed two.
Stay tuned for Thanksgiving recipes. lol

Well done. We used to have a big black cat who took care of moles. You would see him watching the ground then run over and start digging. Pretty soon he would reach in grab the mole and flip it into the air. Then he would keep flipping it until it died , lil sadist lol.

About once a week we would find one floating in the above ground pool. It was a big mystery until we finally saw him mole flipping. He would always look so dejected when we killed it for him.

Buddy lived on a hillside. Moles were running amok. He took some carbide, added a bit of water and closed the hole. In a few minutes gas was emerging from other holes. He took a match, lit it and tossed it over-one major Kaboom, followed by a series of small boom, boom, boom. Momma came running out of the house scared to death. Cracked his foundation but got rid of the moles

I had to set traps in the yard to get rid of them from my neighbors yard. All in all 9 of them perished and haven't seen any for a couple of years now.

I successfully used the toxic smoke bombs you can find in any hardware store this past summer. First mole infestation at my house since I bought it 22 years ago.

I sure hope we don’t have that many.

I tried smoking them out and they just popped up in the front yard.

tempted a large gecko to go into the holes near my air conditioners - he drove out the mice/rats and took over - don't know if you have them in your state.

Not in my state, geckos are not good at sledding and snow-skiing

Dachshund's work very good as well.

Seems like I once heard mothballs in the holes and pushed into their tunnels would make ‘em relocate. If true, I dunno how long it lasts…?

Many years ago, I was helping my dad cut his grass and ran over a bee’s nest in the ground. Dad got some gasoline, poured it down the hole, lit it, and bang, flames shot out of the ground in 3 different places, caught one of his forcenthia bushes on fire. Needless to say, the bee’s got out of one of these escape holes before dad lit them up, was hilarious!!!

I do have 10 extra gallons of gasoline left over in my generator.
