So, we have had Mole issues for a few years and just can't seem to get rid of them and their already starting to make tunnels around the yard this spring. :tired: Tried the poison pellets, smoke bombs, flooding with garden hose and one trap that was useless! :(

 

Did a Goggle search and found this Tip:

 

How do you get rid of a mole?

Try apple cider vinegar.

1. Put a few drops of apple cider vinegar on a cotton ball.

2. Put the cotton ball on the mole and wrap a bandage around it.

3. Leave the bandage on for an hour.

4. Do this every day until the mole disappears. Stop if skin irritation occurs.

 

Seemed like a good idea if I could just catch them first? :confused:

 

So went to Fleet Farm yesterday and bought a different kind of heavy spring jaw trap to try and catch them to put the Apple cider vinegar on. 

Set it up last night and had one in the trap this morning. Wow great caught our first ever Mole!!  :)

But, that fricken trap an't going to work either because it just killed the Mole! :(

How are we going to get rid of them if we can't put the Apple cider vinegar on them? :sick::mad:   :P

I have found that applying an insecticide on the lawn works great.  The moles are there feeding on larvae/insects in and under the lawn.  Do away with the larvae/insects and the moles move onto to the neighbor's yard.

You guys are overlooking the obvious.  All you need is big black padded mallet.
