Yep, had a mole problem for years. A number of homes in our neighborhood adopted (formerly) stray cats. We have a lot of transient family’s who think it’s okay to just leave their cats behind. We periodically catch them. We have them fixed, get their shots at a veterinarian school. We all put out food and water for them. Two eventually became our outdoor cats. They live in our carport. I even pay a teenager to feed them when we are out of town. Occasionally I can pet them but if I ever tried to pick one up I would lose a hand. The benefit is I have not seen a mole or snake since they moved in.
(Are these documented or undocumented moles?)
🤣🤣🤣😜😁
And, more importantly: are they wearing masks 😷😷😷 and are they fully-jabbed / vaxxed?
The bigger problem is keeping males out of your pants. I hang around with my BFF a lot, and we pretend to be lesbians. That works except for the freakazoids who want to do both of you. Squeeky lives in a mobile home park, and she smokes a pipe so that tends to keep the males out of her yard. I am hardly ever home, so I am beginning to think she had the better idea about buying a mobile home. It is much cheaper, and like she says, if things get bad, she can move the trailer to her dad’s bugout farm in Texas. But, I have an image to uphold, and I like my pool - but I am thinking about buying a mobile home too, even if I do not move into it right now. Plus, in a park, the yard is small and easy to defend from rambunctious males.
Light a simple road flare and place down in hole. The smoke and fumes should go through the nest.
In other words, a gummy worm of death.
Are Rodenators still available?
I don’t know if it will work with moles, but it worked with a skunk under my house.
There are rodent repellent ultrasound videos on Youtube.
I played one of those and cranked it up to 3 times the normal volume. We can’t hear it. I heard a soft clicking sound on one of them.
But rodents will flee it like Hambone’s singing. Might have to put speakers in the yard though.
Juicy fruit gum
All the vermin are on the warpath this year.
That’s what happens when you throw bouillon cubes in your neighbor’s yard before it rains.
They melt into the soil and the dogs go nuts digging.
We have 3 boy cats here that were born by a stray mama
in a void in our backyard woodpile here about 5 years ago.
She birthed them, weened them, and then disappeared
back to wherever she came from.
I guess now they are about 85% outdoor; 15% indoor.
They “allow” me and Mrs. R17 to scratch them if they feel like it.
They live in the lawnmower shop with beds on a high shelf,
a cat door, a space heater, and a nightlight.
We call it the “cat mahal”.
We round them up, with difficulty, once a year to visit the vet.
Never knew there were so many moles until they began to
leave them on the patio to show their prowess.
Our yard, the neighbors yards, the folk’s across the streets yards,
are all snake, lizard, chipmunk, frog, and mole free.
Use the last of your morning coffee. Make sure it’s hot. Pour it right into their holes. If you have time, make another pot with just a spoonful of coffee to revive the grounds. Also throw the grounds down the holes. A lot of these rodents are hypersensitive to smell.

I think this is supposed to be a take-off on "I Am The Walrus"
I want to party with you!
Male moles? or are you kindered in that you are a dude looking to convert lesbians back....
We have 3 rat terriers and no moles.
“What is your best defense for keeping moles out of the yard?”
Don’t hire Chinese gardeners.
I will party with you both if the 17th is repealed...
So drivers are handlers and gardeners are moles...
Makes sense
