My dad just used to sit out with a beer and a twelve gauge. Worked every time.

I have used solid rocket propellant very effectively.

I like the get-the-ground-wet-and-electrecute idea, but if you don't see it, how will you know it worked? if the problem stops, I guess, but it's just not as satisfying.

what makes them migrate to one yard? better worms?

I think a .22 rifle w/ a scope would be fun too.

HOOT! Moles seldom poke their noses up...making the firearm solution difficult. Gophers are the ones you can shoot. With moles, I've had good luck with an underground bait made by a company down in Eugene. The two big keys is to place it in the runway by using a probe, and to NEVER touch the bait with your fingers...I use a spoon fresh out of the diswasher. When you stop seeing fresh mounds, you got 'em. Usually takes me a few days of baiting the runways between the freshest mounds.

Yeah, twelve gauge was for gophers. Solid proplelant gases work for both, either kills them or drives them away.

Too funny:D

It also strikes a chord. I went to war w/ my lawn moles a few years ago, I thought of the car exhaust but instead went straight to the cyanide gas.

After a few skirmishes, I carpet bombed the whole lawn, 15 bombs set off as close to simultaneously as possible. I never felt so satisfied as the next day when there were no new mole hills.:D

When you see the ground move, you blast them with the shotgun. It at least stuns them if not kills them, and then you can dig them out.

Caster Oil makes them leave. for a while.

Secret Weapon: I heard moles are hemopheliacs. So, you place thorns in the runways. They get scratched and die. The corpse makes the others leave.

God that was good, I needed that laugh.

I remember something about cayenne pepper...luckily never had the problem very long though, have a cat that's incredibly good at catching the little buggers. Seems to treat it like a sport.

I grew up in a place with sandy ground my dad would get so frustrated that he would tamp down the tunnels, then sit outside in a lawn chair for hours waiting for some movement. When he saw movement he went after them with a shovel a couple feet behind the new tunnel being dug. He would dig a hole then proceed to the end of the tunnel till he found the mole and he would beat it like a madman with the shovel. Afterwards he would be all pumped up, breathing hard and sweating profusely! At every family gathering, he would go on and on about his ground mole hunting expiditions. It was hilarious how much satisfaction he got from bagging a few of these each summer!

Tim that's just about the funniest image I've had in a looong time.

I prefer to put their heads on toothpicks as a warning to the others.

LMAO, thanks Jeff.

As a kid, I had several solutions that worked.

Lawmower with garden hose from the exhaust to the tunnel.
Carbon monoxide.

Roadflare in the tunnel Carbon monoxide again.
