Is Creeping Charlie in your lawn a good thing or a bad thing?
Is there a sure-fire way to get rid of Creeping Charley?
If you know where their hole is you can do a few things. You can place moth balls down their hole. Another is an old transistor radio. They hate hard rock and that usually scares them off and they do not usually come back. Sounds silly but it has worked.
You can also get a cat to roam the garden- they are good at getting rid of moles.
I don't know how long you've been plagued with them, but the ones that visited my yard last spring tunneled just below the surface of my gardens. I tried cayenne pepper with not effect. I went to my state's wildlife site which indicated that there's little to be done to get rid of them. Also that they are actually good for the soil. So I decided to live with them. They turned over my garden beds nightly and I just pushed the soil back in place and watered in back in each day. After about three months they moved on without really doing any damage. Probably ate all the under ground insects and went looking for a new diner..
I am having the same problem I have Bradford pear trees and all kinda flowers and they have killed my flowers. I to used everything on the market. Then someone told me the wet a cotton ball with ammiona and put into the holes and so far it has worked.
Last year we had sooo many moles in our yard. There were tunnels everywhere! So, I found this product called TomKat worms. You take the worms and put them down in the holes where the moles have tunneled. They think it's a grub and they take it down in the tunnel to eat it. Once they do eat it, they die. It's poisonous.
You can't put it where you have dogs because they may dig it up. You should wear some disposable gloves when working with them. I cut mine in half so I got twice as much. But it worked. No more moles. And if I see evidence of them this year I will do the same thing. I'm sorry that the only way to get rid of them is to kill them but all those other products just chase them away and then they come back. Not with TomKat. You can buy it at Lowe's or Home Depot.

Just an after thought, they are not good for the soil. They damage the root system of all the grass, flowers, bushes and shrubs. If you have moles you definitely have Grubs. They say if you get rid of the grubs then you get rid of the moles. We went that route too. The only thing that worked was the TomKat. And no I do not get any bonus for plugging this product.
Thank you!
