Good luck. I didnt have much luck killing those suckers. I heard a terrier dog can work wonders on them tho.

spike trap rarely (almost never) works......best advice is to get rid of the food source. There is a Bayer product that can be bought at lowe's that kills the grubs that moles eat. Been fighting these bastards for a couple of years now.

That trap doesnt work. Didnt for me anyway. The mole would just dig a little deeper. I had it go off like 6 different times and no mole was stuck on the end. May have just stabbed him and he died somewhere else.

If you push down all the hills and just sit in a chair and watch you will see them start moving. Then dig them up and kill them. I took a Ruger 22 auto and sit and drank coffee in the mornings and just blasted away when they would start pushing the hills back up.

20ga on the front porch. When they start popping dirt out of the hole just blast it. That or get a dachsund. My mini would kill 2 a month until he got older. Now my catahoula digs giant holes and hasn't caught one yet.

Our Carrin and two rat Terriers have eliminated all the moles on our 5 acres. They are rat and mole killing machines.

I don't guess Yorkies count?

I could just see me asking my Mom to borrow her two Yorkies to kill some moles.

I've had hell with the little blind bitches. I personally think they've caused me some grief with my telephone/dsl....but I can't get the telephone company to check it.

I guess I'll be going the Bayer route as well...may get rid of some 'Dillos too.

Found a good page here, just wanted to get some feedback, tips, etc. Looks like trapping is the best way, but many things you have to do to get them.

Don't know if they still make them or not, but when we were kids my dad would get some mole poison that was like a smoke bomb. It looked about like a stick of dynamite, you would light it and stick it in the mole's hole. It would fill their entire tunnel system with toxic smoke and kill them. I think he would get them at the local co-op.

Good Luck

Crankbait has the right device shown, however what they do not tell you is that you must use scent cover...I enjoy killing them with the "shishkabob" method...Cool as hell, I even put a small Christmas bell on it to ring when it trips....Smash down tunnel good...spray the unit with dirt scent....used for deer hunting, smells like wormdirt...spray it down spray dirt tunnel where to you smashed it in and install trap for hair trigger...I wish I would get another one to hunt....I have a blast with them...Sitting in my lazy boy and here the bell ring....DONE! works everytime for me...

Option - I gotta remember this, our jack russel died - this may be the answer for future moles.
