How to get rid of moles and voles in my yard?
I have an uncontrolable mole and vole problem at my lake front cottage. I am not there all the time and have 2 dogs that I need to be concerned with with any eradication process. With that said a poison is not out of the question however not my first choice.
I have read a lot on line about juicy fruit gum and ultrasonic devices not working. I need a solution that works. There are a lot of dirt mounds and I can see some tunnel entrances but I don’t think I am see them all.
Thanks so much to whomever can help me.

If you can keep your dog out of the area for a while, spray the yard with garlic spray or castor bean oil.
Growing castor bean plants and some bulbs such as daffodils can deter moles and voles, as will treating your lawn early next spring with Grub X. It requires application before temperatures reach 50 degrees F.
If you or the neighbors are feeding birds, the scattered seed will attract voles. Earthworms and grubs are attractive to moles, but failure to eradicate them may invite skunks...
Keep you lawn free of weeds, as some seedheads also attract these rodents.

At my house I used a windmill and it worked. Not that this will help you any, but this is my dog Bailey on a camping trip we took at the end of September to El Capitan State Beach. This is how she spent 5 days . . . Trying to catch the voles. Hope it gives you a giggle.
