Question For The Mole Experts...

[SoonerBK]

How do I keep those little buggars out of my yard?

[The Maudfather]

A mallet, or hire Ryan Mallet to throw footballs at them.

[SoonerLaw09]

Put the stuff down that kills the grubworms. That will remove the critter's food source and he'll move on to greener pastures.

Or, if you're feeling all Carl Spackler, you could toss some dry ice down a fresh burrow.

I thought this was a thread about Drew Brees.

A jack russel terrier. Or weener dog. Yeah.

I thought he used C4. I think C4 will solve the problem...first time, every time.

Trap.

I just took one out of my trap about 10 minutes ago. You can get the traps at Atwoods. Do not get the plunger kind. Get the kind that is spring-loaded and has two wide prongs (maybe 2 inches wide or a little more). Set the trap and place it in a good, clean hole. You have to make sure the hole is clean because gophers do not like light or a draft. That is why they come up and try to cover the hole and the trigger the trap, it grabs them and they are dead or dying. Hate them. Anchor the trap in the handle hole with a screwdriver. It works. I have caught hundreds of them over the past 20years. Moles take a different type of trap, but I have caught dozens of those too. Good luck!

How do I keep those little buggars out of my yard?

Drive stainless steel spikes at 2 inch intervals all over your lawn. Interconnect with wire connected to 220 V outlet in home fuse box. Water lawn heavily and plug in. When the fire department cleans up, you can sell the lot to some poor unsuspecting idiot and use the proceeds for closing costs on your next fiasco.

You're DOOMED!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

I have often reflected on the fact that it is a shame Mr. Avagadro came up with that number 200 years ago, because, you know, that's a number I would have thought of.

Probably.

[ouwapiti]
