Mole Control

[LMT]

My father in law hates moles. They love his yard. I looked at the web site and it is not for sale in Washington state.
Says that it is safe for animals too? How does it work then?

I;d just sit back with a night scoped .22lr rifle and make some Mole Stew!

+1 for terriers!
I've got a  couple rat terriers. Last month I was sitting on my porch reading the paper and heard my dogs digging furiously in the yard behind me. A minute later I heard something screaming like hell as they ripped a mole out of the ground and tore it to pieces
Good doggies.

Gonna try mouse traps and peanut butter next. The smoke bombs, although fun in their own way, aren't cutting it.

I think you were on the right track with the explosives idea.

It works great!  I've used it on two lawns and so far so good.  It's a spore that destroys the grubs digestive system (if I remember correctly) and causes them to die.  The dead grubs help spread the spore for future grubs.  They say it can last up to 20 years.  And it's safe for all animals. 

I've tried almost every off-the-shelf grub control (poison) and none really work.  I've even tried some commercial stuff that requires a license to handle.  The poison and most fertilizers don't go to far into the ground.  The grubs simply dig deeper and wait for the poison to go away and then come back up to feed on the roots.

The Rodent Blaster is the next best thing, but far too pricey for the average homeowner.

However, I am an engineer and I own propane tanks.

Now you're thinkin'

we had ground squirrels in Oregon....
make the beast with two backsers would destroy the lawn, eat the wiring in my truck, you name it.
couldn't really poison them because of all the birds of prey that were in the area.

after one expensive repair to the wiring on my turbo, i went out and got a brake barrel pellet rifle with a scope.
now, i am not the best shot in the world, but the level of satisfaction when you see one of the little make the beast with two backsers die close up was definitely worth the cost of the rifle.

There is a definite pleasure in " Varmint " hunting !

I'm partial to the red mist that occurs when you hit a prairie dog with a 22-250 or one of the wssm's.  That is satisfying!

get a dog.  my mini dachshund killed over 20 mice plus a rat when nearby construction sent them running toward my house years back.  it was awesome.  my neighbors all wanted to borrow him.  good luck with that.

Well, the little bastards completely ignored the PB traps. A whole new crop of tunnels today.
