Moles(in our lawn)

[glowstick]

Dad was wondering if anyone knows how you get rid of moles ?

[Digiital]

Shotgun?

[Mouse]

Gasoline??

[Dr-BYTES]

you sure its moles and not grubs

[Mouse]

Kinda late for white grubs, is it not??

Could be skunks, or even racoons, looking for bugs.

Our lawn was peeled like a orange many times, but earlier in the year.

Just a minute here.

I just woke up.

That's infanticide to my brother rodents.

THIS MEANS WAR!!!

[Digiital]

Any pics?

I had a problem a few yrs ago with volls. I used cyan pepper in the sprayer(like you would use for weed and feed.) spray it around the grass.

I say nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

[Mouse]

Shotgun?

Yes, but make sure it was made by Acme. http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g158/MouseMeat/Smilies/terical.gif

I would get in touch with a lawn care company about a pesticide spray

I would get in touch with a lawn care company about a pesticide spray

And then you could grow another limb to help you catch the ones that come back next year.............

I myself would do a lot more research before ( if ever) i stooped to a pesticide spray........

JMO :xzw:

I say again, gasoline.

And, for the permanently challenged in the crowd, a match.

Oh, run like hell.

A really big rubber mallet, then bring in the neighbourhood kids and have a real life game of Whac-a-Mole. LMAO!!

[Mouse]

No more ideas, please.

I want him to burn-up all his underground wiring. :tooths:

I used the Gerry Baker (America's Foremost Gardener) method. Take about a liter of urine (family project) and add four ounces of Castor oil and about an ounce of dish soap. The Soap acts as a surfactant to allow penetration into the soil. The Castor oil is like coating their fur with fiber glass and they don't like it. The females won't let the males near them with the urine smell and they move on to greener, not so smelly pastures. Sounds weird put it works, and doesn't poison anyone or thing.

Ok everyone, group pee.

And remember to smile this time, eh??

[Buka12]

my hubby said that it will be easy to catch them: they are blind.

Maybe I should have added that you apply this with a hose end sprayer to the area where you suspect mole activity.
Here is lovable little creature from Africa, called a Naked Mole Rat. Not all moles are blind. They just don't see well. That's why they can never get a drivers license.

http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g158/MouseMeat/Smilies/Idiot.gifAh yes, the wonderful cleansing power of fire. :)

Ah yes, the wonderful cleansing power of fire. :)

I have heard that it works. Also camp stove fuel, I think it is called naphtha. However it depends on how toxic you want to leave your lawn. Personally, I would rather discourage the little critters than burn them alive, but then I guess I am a softy.
When dealing with fire I remember way back when and I was in a hospital after taking the top off my finger with a hammer chopping wood when half drunk, and there was this older guy there who wasn't happy with the way his BBQ was burning so he decided to squirt BBQ fluid starter on the coals to get it going. Well the fluid sparked and flame ran right up the fluid stream and the can exploded in his face. He was stunned (to say the least) and his wife rolled him to put the flames out. Stop, drop, and roll. Problem was she rolled him through the garden and got garden dirt all in his burned facial skin. Not pretty and very hard for the Doctors to clean. Needless to say it put a damper on his birthday party. I wonder what he would have done if the candles didn't light on his cake. Use fire as a last resort.
