Moles are the only critter that I have to contend with on our little homestead. Of course WV must have the largest population of white tail deer in the world. It is very hazardous to drive around here. I’ve not seen a snake since coming to WV in 92. If you ever figure out a way to deal with the Moles, let me know. Nothing is working.
Hi, Nan! Someone once told me that if you put animal fur (esp. dog) into their hole, the will move far, far away, because they fear they will be caught by a canine!
So, I went to the groomers and brought back two trash bags full of dog fur! I stuffed that smelly stuff into every hole I could find. The next day, it was all gone. (I think they pulled it into their caverns to use for nesting material - for the 50 babies they would be having!)
I have put Ex-Lax, chewing gum, corn-meal and plaster of paris into the holes - but still no luck.
My neighbors paid a small fortune to ‘professional mole eradicators’, and they STILL have problems.
I think they are next to impossible to get rid of!
