So we are slowly moving to our new place on 5 acre's and there are a few moles that are just going crazy. Our cats have been having fun trying to get them (got 5-6 so far). I figured there had to be a few who have land and some tricks used to kill these little bastards..

Smoke bombs and roman candles were the popular choices we sold to farmers and such at our firework stand....

Hit the local dollar store and buy a bunch of bubblegum. Unwrap some and put a couple pieces in each tunnel under the pile.

We always had a cat around, even if it wasn't ours. Going through the haystack or tack rooms and field, rarely saw mice or moles except dead ones 
I will have to try that.

Ya its like a dead animal graveyard with all the stuff our cats have been getting.We found we have to keep the house door closed--so far like 5 mice and 3 snakes brought in so far(live ones).

From the horticulturist pov, go get some milky spore at lowes or the depot. The fungus will then kill all the grubs! No food for mole, and he moves on!!!

Lots of "remedies". Some say juicy fruit gum and gummy bears will kill them. Rigidity of the bowels I guess:lmao:. Put it in their tunnels using rubber gloves so they can't smell you....
I prefer more sinister methods myself.
Or gas.....

Moth balls in there tunnels drives them away. They can't stand the smell. Can pick up at dollar store.

My lab is a master mole hunter, catches them all the time and carries them around in his mouth until I take them and dispose of them.

My little short legged jack Russell digs them up all the time. He just does as much damage doing it as the mole does:lmao: Quite a funny site.

Yeah 95 pound labs dig BIG holes. :ror:
gassed a gopher village with anhydrous ammonia, worked really well. only problem is that you have to have a tank of it around.
at school, we would load up about 100 yds. out from a prairie dog town, crack a beer, and wait. weekends were rather dull, and 22-270 whack-a-mole half in the bag was a hoot (i was not a smart person in college)
can also tape the wand on the pressure washer open and let it sit in the hole, if its not too complex, it will drown or skin them with the water, and if its deeper, just find all the holes you can and run them all. also opens em up well for a jack terrier or cats to get them.
THE NEXT ONES ARE OF QUESTIONABLE LEGALITY, TRAINED PEOPLE ARE RECOMMENDED!!!!
take some common fireworks, tape them very tightly until the bundle is about as large as the leader tunnel for the moles, then attach a long fuse. stick it in the hole and bury the whole thing. light fuse and take cover. being friends with the sheriff or having understanding neighbors is mandatory.
in explosives class we watched a prairie dog town that had been pumped full of anfo go up. this is more of a "scorched earth" war tactic, but very effective. not for beginners and you'll probably end up in jail if you do this without a trained explosives expert there.

What Rowdy and Ted said, get a good dog. My staffy goes after them like crazy. Just dont get too attached to your yard.
