Mole Control Patrol

[MossRoad]

So - yesterday I'm out dropping poison granules in the pocket gopher runs. A lot fewer mounds this year. And the greatest activity is way out in an area of little concern. Maybe all my activities are having some positive results.

If anything I've learned from mole trapping, it's to beat them back to an acceptable perimeter and then be religious about keeping an eye on that line. Anything comes past the line get trapped. If you don't, they come back quickly.

Boy - isn't that the truth. You gotta remember for every varmint you trap or poison - there are two more, out there in the bush - just waiting to
"come on down".

This is definitely not a one time activity.

It took me a good 8 years to get the moles under control. Now they are few and far between and can live in the backyard all they want. Away from the house and pool.

I've got hawks among other birds. Definitely don't want one grabbing a poisoned carcass. I'm hoping the yellow cone pellets keep them in their burrows.

41 species of gophers in north America.

I do not discriminate by the species, gender or skin color, i hate and kill them all regardless with my smoker gadget.
