How do I get rid of moles in my garden.?

I've tried everything: gas smoke bombs, traps, spikes that are supposed to impale them, urine, human hair, attempts to drown, castor oil(mole rid spray), gum, moletox poison, poison peanuts, grub-ex, ultra-sonic chasers, soap/cayenne pepper/hotsauce/baby shampoo mixture, even trying to electrocute those bastards with some bare extension cord wire plugged into a easily tripable office spike protector. None of that crap works, believe me, so don't bother trying it. These things are driving me crazy, I've switched to container gardening because they dig tunnels by the roots and all my plants dry up or the mice get in the tunnels and eat on the roots and bulbs. I am at the point where I think I realy can't do a darn thing about it. I fell like Bill Murray in Caddieshack because they are laughing at my feeble attempts :)

Hi Gary,

Moles eat grubs. Get rid of the grubs, you can use a grub killing chemical found in Home Depot or Lowes.

There is this neat new plastic worm that looks like a grub, it mimics the moles food. You can purchase it in Lowes. It kills the moles directly after they eat it. You put these fake grubs at the mole holes.

I know they work, my daughter used them in her yard - no more moles.

If you have a mole and it is bothering you, you should definitely have a dermatologist look at it.

All those things that you've tried could really be painful (especially if it's in your "garden," as you call it).

Garlic bulbs. We had to plant garlic cloves and put crushed garlic around every plant in the garden to get rid of the moles. They really loved eating our bulb plants so we spaced each with a garlic clove inbetween. We have a ton of garlic now, but no moles or other burrowing animals. It helped with the grubs too.

I use smoke bombs. If that doens't work, I just let my cat outside to play every day.

I can tell you what my Pop does. Moles don't like the light. Pop opens one of the tunnles, pulls up a chair and, waits. It's not long, they come to close the opening. BANG! Dead mole!!

I have heard it all. Egg shells, chewing gum, banana peelings, flooding, peppers, human hair, Soap and bacon grease, humane urine, chemical pellets and even smoke. Sorry, but it閳ユ獨 all worthless. You閳ユ獧e going to have to get rid of them and do so aggressively. For best and quickest results, use the spring traps (I saw some at Wall-Mart last week). Place them over the "runs" that you see thought your yard. Then the moles go through, it triggers the trap and you'll have one. Be sure to re-set the trap for another.

Poison peanuts/wheat also work, but results are slower. These are made by the W. R. Sweeney Company. I have also, if you have the time, walk on the mound that is left when they dig %26amp; just wait. Soon, you will see them going through the tunnel by raising the dirt again. Quickly dig them up w/a shovel. You have to move fast to get them this way. Odds are good; you won't be able to kill them fast enough.

Until you solve the real problem, you will continue to have moles. They are in you yard because there is an abundance of Grubs there. Just like another animal, they have selected your yard for the abundance of food there. You can treat your yard with a Bayer product, Merit or a Scotts product , Grub EX. It is a granular product that spreads on the lawn much like you would spread fertilizer. A product that has Bifenthrin, sometimes called Talstar as an active ingredient in it will also work well. Another possibility is to add nematodes to your yard. The nematodes can be found at most of your Mom and Pop garden centers, and feed on Grubs. Another product many people have had success with (myself included) is Milky Spore. To treat the lawn, just put a spoon full at 3 foot by 3 foot. Milky Spore lasts for many years. Understand, it will only kill the grub in its larva stage and will not harm the existing grubs. These are much more organic approaches, but as is normally the case with organic solutions, results will be slower. Rid your yard of the Grubs and your mole problem will not be resurfacing.
