I have a MOLE???

[TE999]

Our lawns here in Florida have a pest called the Mole Cricket which the moles eat along with grubs, earthworms and anything else they can catch. Eliminate the food source and you eliminate the moles. Since it's summer and everything is reproducing like mad, good luck with that.

You can buy various traps, but the moles avoid them by digging more tunnels.

Fascinating creatures, ain't they ?
Our moles hate ultrasonic sounds, and there are gadgets which plug into the ground to dissuade them.

Might be worth a try.

Hey, here's a perfect opportunity to give hubby a "manly" project to move him along towards recovery. He'll feel useful and, as a side benefit, he gets to blow stuff up!

No need to thank me. As the caption to my AV says, I'm "here to help."

Kill Moles With Juicy Fruit Gum
​

Men and moles cannot live in harmony together. As moles find their way by digging tunnels men kill moles with juicy fruit gum placed in their holes as their bait. Ground moles cannot digest juicy fruit gum and they will eventually die. Men hate moles for ruining their yards and in order to discourage moles from coming back they kill moles with juicy fruit gum. To kill moles with juicy fruit gum is one of the popular ways to get rid moles without causing hazard to people. It is less expensive and very practical.

Moles have huge appetites for insects, grubs and earthworms and usually eat as much as their body weight and fill in the stomach until they sleep. Once these moles are up they are back to the digging and doing the same routine again. How they kill moles with juicy fruit gum is that they unwrap these gums and place them in the active holes. While these moles are digging they will come across these and found these gums and eat them.

Moles are very disruptive on men’s lawns and backyard and men are so pissed and their anger turns to kill moles with juicy fruit gum. To use one the world’s most popular gums you find the entrance of the molehills and put 3 unwrapped gums in the entrance and cover back with soil or dirt. This is trick to enable the mole to dig again and then these creatures will eat the gum when they encounter it on their way in.

If you think the juicy fruit gum is not effective you can try other methods. Other than you kill moles with juicy fruit gum, there are other ways to eradicate them. These include mole bombs, poison, insect baits, electronic sound waves, and many others. Other mole killing techniques may work and some are not. However you have to be extra careful in using these mole killers because these are also hazardous to humans. In using poison you need an expert person to do it for and it has to be approved by your local pest control center.

Sometimes it is a matter of tricking the moles before these products are used. The best way to kill moles with juicy fruit gum is during the early spring season before they gave birth. This is the same as hitting two birds with one stone. Getting rid of moles in your backyard can be tough and it requires hard work and more time. Elimination of ground moles can also be done in a natural way by flooding the tunnel or planting odorous plants in the vicinity. These plants do not produce foul smell to humans but only to moles.​

Have a look at this story about the Mole:-

It's an animated cartoon to the sound of Jasper Carrot (one of our sharper comedians), about the mole in his new garden.

Wow. I'd never heard of this before.

If the spray I put down doesn't work, I'm game to try anything.

And there are so few mole control devices that you can buy from a vending machine. Good luck. Holey moley.

Or maybe I could get it hooked on cigarettes. I could leave little packs out by the multiple mounds of earth. Smoking is sure to be disastrous to a mole's health.

I'm reaching, here.

The Humane Society would be on you like popsicle on a kid. But I feel your pain. "We could fight 'em with conventional weapons, but that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, in this case, I think we have to go all out. I think this situation absolutely requires that a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part."

The European mole, which is the only kind we get here in Britain is very common. Moles are rather sweet little black velvety things:

Oh. It is a sweet little thing.

Now I feel awful for wanting to blow ours up.

No, but yours is probably a nightmare-inducing ugly thing like the pics you posted. Survival of the cutest and all that
