KMS Woodworks on Aug 24, 2013Was it caddy shack where they used dynamite? many mole problems are not really "mole" problems but insect grubs and the likes of those. The moles are there to eat the food crop. Reduce or eliminate the food source and you will see improvements.

The Garden Frog with C Renee on Aug 24, 2013For an alternative to chemicals~castor oil or at Walmart or other big box stores the mole repellant which is castor oil in a hose sprayer. Saturate the ground but work your way out from the house to the pastures. I have had old timers in the past tell me juicy fruit gum stuck in the holes. I have tried the cat poop method before with great success. LOL but now I stick to castor oil and my watering can. Plus I have cats and dogs that dig everywhere and catch them and the voles that use their trails to eat the roots of plants. Good luck.Helpful Reply

Alon Petersen on Aug 25, 2013Another cost effective way to get rid of moles is with spearmint gum or oil. a few drops at the opening of the mole hole, or an open stick of spearmint gum stuck in the entry.Helpful Reply
