Re: Getting rid of *&%#@#% moles
I have perenially mole problems. I've tried the metal kill traps (useless), and several different commercial grade poisons to some effect. I've found the most success with the smoke bombs. When i use the smoke bombs, i use several of them simultaneously, like 5 or 6 of them scattered throughout my kill zone. Try it.

I've been fighting them unsuccessfully for the last few months.

I'm still fond of this. Dunno if it works, but at least it is entertaining.

I have a 2007 model Jack Russell Terrier. She works great on moles. Also on small rabbits, mice, rats, and anything else she can find.
Not good with skunks, though. Nope. Wouldn't recommend the skunk thing.

You may laugh at this, but an easy way to get rid of moles...get Juicy Fruit Gum...chew a 1/2 stick a bit....just so it is pliable, and still has lots of flavor....throw the partially chewed piece in the hole....The mole eats it, but cannot digest it.
It worked tremendously for us.

I hadn't heard that, but I do know of a golf course near the beach, very sandy terrain, with too many gophers in the area and a fellow told me they used to keep a bowl of bubble gum on the counter and asked golfers to take a few pieces with them and just unwrap one and drop it in any gopher hole seen. That worked the same as what you're doing to the moles, but the golf course supposedly quit doing that when some of the animal rights folks said that was too mean of a way to kill animals.
