I have a mole which is burrowing in my front yard. I have tried a sonic repelled which is a waste of money. I caution anyone not to waste your money on the sonic version it is useless. I have tried a sprayer for miles wit limited success. Any suggestions would be appreciated

My had a couple of cats to take care of mice in my house. Well they were outdoor cats to, guess what they took care of the moles in front yard.
Maybe you can set a Trap right in a turned. You could cover the top with cardboard or newspapers, but baited with some smelly treats the mole might want. If there is only one mole, you can destroy it or take it far away and release it. Immediately after catching the mole, fill in any holes, tunnels, and nests you can. One mole conquered. ☺️
Call in a Mole catcher to do the deed

There are mole traps you can buy. They are not necessarily pet friendly though. But...they are deadly to moles and voles. You press the trap into the ground with th spikes that are attached. The trap needs to be set on an active tunnel. Once the mole springs the trap it drives spikes down through the dirt, into the tunnel, and through the mole. when you use this type of trap you never even have to see the deceased. The trap can be used over and over again.
We have both moles and voles where I live, and being a place where there’s Rattlesnakes you Don’t want them aroun! They have chewd threw PVC plumbing, electrical wires, crawled up drainpipes which causes a racket!, among putting holes in my yard!!
someplace elseh To flush them out I found a few boxes of cheap .99¢ smoke bombs in the holes works great (BTY. I found they always have more then one way out!) this will let you find the openings and block them off. You can use anything hard like rocks or bricks but they are strong so I bought a sma bucket of pre mixed concrete and poured it in. (After smoke‘n Them out!) of course! Otherwise you might get a smell you don’t want! Traps did very little e but I didn’t want to spend $$$ onthe expensive ones. Close to $90.00. They have amaz teeth and can chew through just about anything but there are things they don’t like. If you go to a pet store and buy bitter spray (it’s for training animals not to bite) and douse a rubb ball in it (I mean cover it) they’ll stay away, vinegar mixed with the puree of the hottest peppers you can get your hands on like a few (Carolina Ghost peppers) it can be put anywhere, that will detour to find food/shelter. (pepper spray) works, Good Luck!
