    Hi ! Go to the dollar store and pick up several pinwheels or garden spinners . Then place the stick end 5-7 inches into the ground , near the moles holes , or near where you have seen them . When the wind blows the spinners , it cause a vibration to travel down the stick and into the ground . This disturbs moles , voles , and chipmunk and they will move on . Good luck !

  • The best way is to trap it.

    Are you referring to a skin mole or the four legged creature?Moles

    If repelling them isn’t good enough, there are two very effective ways to kill moles – trapping and baiting. Tomcat provides products for both options to meet your specific needs and preferences.

    You’ll have the most luck killing moles in your yard if you use traps or bait in the spring or fall. Both products should be placed in a main, or active, runway. These are usually the straight tunnels in your lawn or the tunnels that follow the perimeter of your yard. To identify a main runway, carefully poke holes in the top of the runway using your index finger, half-inch dowel, or small probe. If the mole repairs the damage in one or two days, it is a prime runway to set a trap or place bait.


    Traps: The Tomcat® Mole Trap provides a method to kill quickly and hold the mole to provide proof of control. Unlike many competitive spear traps, the Tomcat® Mole Trap does not draw blood, and its “hands-free” design makes it easier to use than other traditional mole traps. For more information, see our article How to Use a Tomcat® Mole Trap.


    Baits: Tomcat® Mole Killera and Tomcat® Mole Killer Grubs kill moles by simulating their food source, earthworms and grubs. Moles eat the baited earthworm or grubs and die quickly (within 12-24 hours after ingestion) underground in their tunnels. For more information on using baited earthworms and grubs, see our article How to Use Tomcat® Mole Killer Baited Worms & Grubs.
