moles
The rodent kind, not the skin type. How do you get rid of them?
I have incredibly sandy soil (think beach with grass) and have a terrible problem with moles. The problem is, I cannot find a trap that works in my sand. My record so far is 2 out of well over a hundred.
I've tried the plunger types because they are incredibly easy to set. When they go off, they jump out of the ground. Even ground the points to needles to help penetrate the b*stards and they won't stay in place when they go off. Tried splaying the legs and nothing will keep them in place.
The claw type traps they dig right through and the sand mounds up over the lever so they don't go off. Tried wetting the soil but by the time the mole goes through it's dry.
There has to be a type of trap that works in sand, right? Or do I have to dig a hole where they tunnel and replace the soil with actual dirt to help the traps work like they're supposed to?
