Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Anyone have successful mole eradication experiences?

Not the FBI or Mueller type,,,

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!

Moles or pocket gophers?

Moles don’t bother me too much and I give them a pass. Gophers are the devil and I pursue them with vigor. They’ve taken out two of my best squash plants so far...

That’s why I asked. Gophers cause lots of above ground damage very quickly and are night migrating moving from one area to another rather quickly.

Moles- rat sized black vermin with long snouts and outsized front claws

I have an outside 'yard cat'. She is hell on em. Will sit like a statue, even in the drizzling rain for hours waiting on one to peek out of their little viet cong matrix

I'm speaking of the tunneling ugly blind fuggers with the kareem abdul jabaar hands

Will you pimp her out for a month?

Rat Terrier. She has eradicated them from our place.

Btw, when I lived in Brookesville, Fla...."gophers" were tortoises. Run off into one of their holes with a tractor you better hang onto your beer

Yep, and "woodchucks" referred to those big Pileated Woodpeckers............

You try car exhaust yet?

Poison Peanuts is all I got.

Check with your dermatologist. She'll freeze the li'l bastards.

I turn this one loose on them, he's pure death on them. Then, after the carcasses are ripe, the little f**ker rolls around on them just to taunt them. Here here is building up his energy for another mole massacre............

I've used the poison grain and it's totally iradicated them my lawn.

A friend of mine eradicated his pest problems including two legged ones by moving to a Townhouse

Cute, but no thinaks

I am not taking the Marxist path- sorry.

Can you give me more details? Evidently the crap I am using is worthless.

Good idea, get apartment.
