While I pursue moles


While I try to eliminate a mole from my yard, Kevin is after much more interesting animals in the bush. When he has been in Africa, we periodically have conversations via Blackberry Messenger which also allows pictures to be sent. It sounds like they are having an amazing time. They have seen all kinds of wildlife and even some fornicating lions. roaaaaaaaaaaaaar! I wish he provided a picture of that as well.

My mole was back in the yard yesterday. I found a main tunnel that had 3 other little tunnels branching off of it. I inserted in another "destroyer", then flooded the tunnels and lastly dumped in a bunch of the hogs blood and Pepper. I will not rest until this is resolved.

Your Uncle Bruce and I have been dealing with the critters for some time now. We have trapped, messy, with UB almost losing a hand. Tried to get the cats interested, both dropped them when the mole started making that icky noise they make. Hince the term Pussy, so true about our cats. We've tried the natural remedy from Home Depot which didn't work and was returned. We are giving in and forgetting about them this season. But...next year we're trying the Gardener's Alive repellant which drives them to your neighbors yard (we've already selected which side). Take heart that your yard is probably smaller than our half acre.Aunt Kathy

I'm telling you buddy, you, me, a fully automatic airsoft gun, a semi-automatic pellet gun, a bottle of scotch and a couple cigars and that mole will be dead!

The best success I have had with getting rid of moles is using the bait and applicator from http://www.mole-be-gone.com

Hope this helps!
