These little bastards are ruining my lawn. Some days I wake up to 6 new mounds. Sometimes I go a few weeks without a new mound. It seems the neighbor and I are trading them back and forth.
I live in an incorporated town, so a shotgun is out of the question, as is the propane igniter method.
Methods I have tried:
Flooding with water- momentarily helpful, but within 36 hours, they come back. Flooding with GSD on standby- We killed one mole who floated to the top- the dog ripped the bastard from the hole and crushed him upon landing. Hard on the lawn. Gopher Grenades- Worthless as tits on a boar hog. Seemingly engineered to make the user sicker than the mole! Gopher Crystals- same result as the grenades or smoke bombs. Vibrations- sometimes helpful. Our 5 hp chipper makes a horrible racket and vibrates like mad. Grub killer- momentarily helpful- lasts about 3 weeks- not recommended for continual use. Trapping- expensive and ineffective- two brands of traps have been deployed and even triggered, but no deaths attributable to this method Detergent- relatively effective- the moles do not come back to the same hole. Seems to keep them at bay for a couple of weeks. Gasoline- same effect as detergent- about 1/2 liter down the hole seems to deter them from using the same hole. Propane Asphyxiation- seemingly worthless. No observed change in behavior.
I have spent hours on YouTube watching one leftist after another talk about peaceful co-existence with the digging sh*theels. Sorry, but this is war.
If you have a success story- please share!
Lots of funny as hell vids on you tube Here is one kinda like a zyklon b solution
One guy said plain Wrigley,s chewing gum Chew it up a little and put in the tunnels Said moles love to eat it for some reason And they can't chyt it out.
