How to get rid of moles without doing anything!

I can't help but wonder how they make any money at all, checking traps every 3 days, and only charging you $40 a month?
Their initial treatment cost is $599. After initial treatment (1 month) they have most of them gone. The $40 is thereafter maintenance. For maintenance, some months they show up, walk around, and leave. Other months they set a trap or two. The cost is worth it to me because the gophers really tear things up. I’ve trapped a few myself, but the company’s reason for success is they seem to have unlimited traps and for initial treatment they set 50-100, depending on the degree of gopher populations. They are so good at what they do, that I gave up on conducting war myself.

Based on this I am going to look into a similar service for my property.

Q- are other animals safe around the type of traps they use?

They set them underground and then cover with dirt and post a flag at each location. As long as other animals don’t dig, it’s pretty safe.

I have a persistent skunk wanting to make a home behind my armourstone...
We use subsurface metal screening (3/8" galvanized or stainless) to deter burrowing animals. Would that help?

All the best,

Peter

Would help if I installed it 25 years ago!

Talastar is just Bifenthrin. You can get it at Ag South or TSC and spray it yourself for a few bucks. I use it on off years when I don't spray Regent for fire ants.

Well - I am somewhat surprised. For two weeks I poisoned each new mound in the yard. Every day. It's going on three weeks since I've seen a new mound. They will surely be back. But - I am ready.

Miniature Schnauzers are pretty amazing mole hunters.

Just a second - I'll have to go look. Ok - pic worth 1K words. I get it locally at Northern Ag Supply. Open up the mound - find the run - couple spoon-fulls down the run - cover back up with the mound dirt. This five pound tub cost $26. At my rate of use - it will last 4-5 years.
