Gophers, Moles or Voles?

I use gas. These look like 1/4 sticks of TNT that send a stinky, suplhur smeilling gas down the hole and thru the tunnels. Does it kill them? Probably not. But it does drive them to my neighbor’s yard (heh, heh, heh...)

Moles eat worms and grubs. When the lawn or garden is moist, they operate near the surface where their food is and the opposite in the dry parts of summer. So I spray the lawn for grubs and worms, driving the moles deeper and making less damage.

There is an exterminator in my town that has Rat and Russell terriers who will turn them loose in your yard or barn. I’m told it is very effective but brutal to watch.

I’ve tried the gas sticks for moles and they didn’t work. I’ll add it to my list of things to try. Thank you.
