I heard high nitrogen fertilizer helps to get rid of them. Probably helps get rid of the grubs due to the high salt factor of urea.

Shooting them is more fun though... I have been having a squirel problem here. I have lost count of how many I have shot out of my attic. I bought some .22 rat shot so I don't have to worry about shooting a hole in my roof.

Well think I've got most if not all of them wiped out. Took out another this morning

Man on mole is what is working for me. Find the areas they are at. Keep the trails tamped down. Go visit in the morning and you can find where they are traveling recently. Fresh dirt is where he is. Sit for a few minutes and chances are you'll see the little varmit moving. Few quick jabs with the garden trowel and its all over.

This thread reminds me of Bill Murry chasing the Gopher in Caddy Shack. No dynamite?

I would get 2-3 stabbing traps and a garden hose. Flush them out if you find a fresh hole, they make great pets. I use to catch them at work and through them in the truck bed and let the cats kill'em at home.

Garden hose is the best, it'll kill the babies and distroy the holes so others don't move in.

Get some spiked tires on the rear of your truck and do doughnuts out in the yard, that'll take a few of em out for sure and you wont have to worry about your yard anymore

I have 2 of the stabbing traps but when i went out to check them. I saw dirt moving around the trap I think this one knows what traps look like. So I picked the trap out and started stabbing the **** out of where the dirt was moving but i think i still missed it.

"I'm alright, don't nobody worry bout me. Why you got to give me advise? Why can't you just let me be?"

No dynamite yet but hey I am beginning to understand the madness. Damn Moles!

No way I'd grab one of the little buggers alive I see one of the little blind bastards latching on and gutting me with those mean little digging claws.
