GETTING RID OF MOLES IN YARD

03/19/2003 07:49 AM caddy

I have done extensive research and have found that the only effective way of getting rid of moles is to set traps that kill them. I bought the one that has about five spikes that is set over their tunnels. Now I'm waiting for it to warm up a bit so I can set them!

Usually when people have moles they think there are tons of them in their yard crawling around. In fact, there are about 1-2 moles per acre. They can dig 200' of tunnels per day.

If you check out your areas cooperative extension web-site they will explain how to set these traps. Please don't pour poison or moth balls into your yard, it is not healthy for you and it is illegal.

One other step to take is to eliminate their reason for being in your yard. They are looking for grubs, mainly. In the spring you can sprinkle milky spore powder over your yard which will kill the grubs, that eventually turn into Japanese Beetles. This is sold at Home Depot and is easy to research online.

Good Luck!
