How do you get rid of Moles?

[sseelhoff]

Get a Jack Russell. It wi dig a few holes in your yard but it will eradicate the moles

You beat me to it. My JRT is **** on moles. When we lived on a golf course, the maintenance crews had a competition to see which one could catch more moles. One of the crews borrowed our JRT. They won. By a lot.

As the person with three terriors in their house including a Jack Russel...I would rather have moles.

I have seen first hand what a bored Jack Russel can do to a Sofa couch while your at work. It looked like a dragnet looking for hidden drugs. :laughing:

well I put out a trap for the little pest who where getting very close to the pool. BAITED with peanut butter. Hope to have some success.

I angled the traps toward each hole. I did test the run by opening a few screwdriver holes about the size of your thumb yesterday and they where filled back in this morning. Crossing fingers

My guess is the with traps set like that, even if they weren't baited with anything, you would have a good chance of getting a mole. Do me a favor... if you do catch a mole, see if it has peanut butter on its lips.

Not quite what I was expecting, I'd truly be surprised if you caught a mole. Never knew a mole to 'surface', for anything.

Why not a regular mole trap ?

You can't tell that way...it already ate it...

You have to taste its poo and see if it tastes peanut buttery.

If you look at the picture you can see the open tunnel on each side. With the dark tub over it, the mole will pop in the area from whichever end of the hole and go to investigate the light leaking around the tub edges. It will most likely have to touch one of the traps. Or, if the O.P. handled the traps too much and they still have store smell, the mole will just leave.

As for why not using a mole trap, that's just what I am thinking too.

Get one of these and it will get all of these you want it too. :laughing:

The trap where not left as you see them. The picture was for placement at each hole, then covered with a dark container. I've killed two this weekend this way. one can use a simple mouse trap too.
