“The reason is that skin cells (and sweat, lotions and, yes, urine from swimmers) react with the chlorine in the pool to form substances called chloramines. These are what cause the irritation and cause you to have that chlorine odor when you get out of the pool.”, from the article.

Chloramine gas is also produced when you mix bleach and ammonia together. Typically, chloramine gas is more irritating than deadly but in high enough concentrations it can be dangerous.

I have heard about people who pour a small amount of bleach and ammonia into mole holes and then cover the opening with a small piece of cardboard and dirt. It typically does not kill the moles but after a couple of “treatments” they tend to relocate to more hospitable mole accommodations.

Juicy Fruit gum into mole holes works even better.
The moles eat the gum, but can not digest it. Moles die. Works for Seagulls to. So does Alka Seltzer tablets.
