Moles are killing the flower beds?

Moles are destroying my flower beds leaving air pockets and my flowers are dying. The ground is soft because of all the tunnels. Any advice other than traps? We have the ones that stab them when the mole triggers the trap, but it seems we can't kill them quick enough. I want a better death method. I hate moles. Thanks!!

I have exactly the same problem, I HATE THEMMMM!!!! they are destroying our new lawn, it's just insane, I can't tell you what works because we tried almost everything and they are still there. I can tell you what doesn't work and maybe I'll save you money... We have that trap that cuts them in half but they are not stupid they already know where it is and don't come near, the cat works, a lot of our neighbor's cats get into our yard and they catch them and eat them but they can only catch one at a time, I tried the pellets and they spit them out of the holes, I tried that chemical that smoke them out and yeah they stop making holes for a day but you find bigger ones the next day, I tried the electronic devices 3 different kinds and none of them worked, I found big mountains of dirt right next to them. Someone told us that there is a plant that makes them go away, but we haven't tried that one yet, we tried the gel that you inject on the ground... didn't work either. I feel ike those cartoons when they are trying to get rid of a mouse and they burned down the house but that ********* gets away. So, if you find something that works for you let me know.

Reply:Guy told me that cats can kill moles.





I let the cat out of the house for like 12 hours and the next day I went out there and there was a dead mole on the ground.





There's also those electronic mole repellers and chemical repellents.
Reply:Get Moth Balls and pour in the holes. They'll run from that for sure.
Reply:It's not the most humane way, but I heard putting chewing gum in their hills or tracks will kill them. Apparently they eat the gum but can't digest it. Don't get me wrong though, I love animals. Some just less than others.
Reply:I am a professional mole trapper-where do you live?


In Cleveland Ohio there is another animal-a relative of the mole called a shrew. They are the size of a house mouse and typically they live exclusivly in mulch beds. Moles live in lawns however there are specific moles that will transition from beds to lawn-if you want-contact me @ Nomomoles@aol.com-tell me the city state where you live and I can try to be of assistance. Do not use home remedies or store bought products-the only way to Control them is to trap them out-I know because I have experiemented with everything that makes sence.


It sounds like shrews because the mole harpoon trap did not work-probably because the shrews are too small to activate the trap
Reply:I had them. I bought mole bait at home depot. Find an active tunnel and put some bait in it. After a few weeks, they were all gone.





PS: our dog could hear them and would dig furiously. Of course they would be gone by the time he started digging. So this added to the problem LOL
