Does anyone suppose that moles are one of the 7 plagues? Personally, I'm over-run with the little ba***^%'s. Everytime I step out my door, I see a fresh mole run. I've tried everything and have become an expert. I've tried gum, cayenne pepper, tobasco sauce, sonar stakes, various traps and sitting outside in a lawnchair with my shovel waiting for the earth to move. I'm sure everyone remembers Caddyshack w/ Bill Murray. I am almost ready to resort to his measures. My neighbors seem oblivious to their existance, and they all seem to have designated my yard as the 4 star restaurant. Lately, I have discovered a mole delicacy by TomCat called Mole Killer. I hope to not offend any animal rights members, but on a positive note you just punch a hole in the runway, drop in the poison worm, plug the hole, and wait for the little critter to feast. It usually takes about 3 days. It blocks them up so they can't S**t and the best part is they crawl into there nest and croak so you don't need to worry about burial. Believe me, I understand the plan of creation, and I know each little creature has it's purpose. But can someone please tell me the purpose of the mole. I suppose, someday, someone will discover the cure for cancer comes from a damn mole, but in the meantime I remain frustrated.

    We have tried the stakes with mixed results. One worked great at first but then I think they got desensitized to it or simply a braver vole (we have voles, not moles) came along.

    The one thing that has gotten rid of them is the neighbors cat, even though we personally prefer the voles to the cat and chase the cat out of yard whenever we see it. But usually the cat gets to the voles before we get to the cat.

    Moles can be pretty easy to catch - if you know the techniques.

    But the best thing to do with them, after you catch them . . . . . .

    Bury them alive

    I used to sit outside with a pitchfork and wait for them. Time consuming? Sure. But still rewarding.

    Do you know anyone with a Dachshund - also called a Weiner Dog? If so, have them bring the dog over.

    from wikipedia

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dachshund

    The dachshund is a short-legged, elongated dog breed, of the hound family. The standard size was developed to scent, chase, and flush badgers and other burrow-dwelling animals, while the miniature was developed to hunt smaller prey, like rabbits. In the American West, they have also been used to hunt prairie dogs.
    The Dachshund was bred and designed to take care of animals like those moles. If you have the choice between a male and female Dachshund, get a female. From my experiences, the female Dachshunds make better hunters then the males.

    My wife and I had a male and female Dachshund. That female would dig up moles right and left. She would root around the yard until she finally found the mole, pull it out of the ground, kill it, and then go on the hunt for the next one.

      Our Jack Russel Terrier did the same thing as your female Dachshund, so either breed would be a good choice.

      Now, if they could just take down deer.
