Mole problem

[lawnbarbers]

We have a mole problem this year it seems. Snow is gone and we have all these tunnels thru yards. Does anyone have suggestions on how to get rid of them. I can't believe a little mole can do that much damage in a lawn.

Play Whack-A-Mole with them...

Last year we put grub control on ours and it got rid of them. Moles eat grubs. But have to do it again this year....they are back!

I find GrubX in the stores but nothing else, I need to treat a half acre. Does anyone know a source for a cheaper/generic anti-grub product that works?
Thanks,

Check out the pest control products on Gemplers website. Or try dynamite moles are a tough nail to bend.

Coyote pee works and can be bought at a farm store

Just get a mallet and play Whack-A-Mole. :smile:

I have a mole that keeps making tunnels and exposing dirt In my yard. (That dirt then supports weeds)

I used mole traps but have not had success for 2 years. Very difficult to catch. This year I resulted in using Dylox to manage the white grub food source. This is a "backed by bayer" product and was purchased @ John Deere Landscapes. It has worked so far and have not seen a tunnel for a month.

I am a home owner with zoysia and it's level, right up until that mole gets active!

Tis aeration for free!

We (.au) have bandicoots,,, well, those lucky enough.
Mostly they have been wiped out by sugarcane fires over many years.
Put the hoe to a few myself in my time. Dogs love 'em too.

Bandicoot (Perameles) - Animals - A-Z Animals - Animal Facts, Information, Pictures, Videos, Resources and Links
The description is not correct as they have short fat tails, the only
way to identify them over a rat, at speed.

Today we (our place) encourage them, leaving fruit and vege for them
at dusk... after the Ibis and bloody Indian Minors have gone to bed.
Last year I ran a leveller over the yard before mowing the worst affected.
Then again we (.au) just worry about keeping the lawn flat and the weeds
down, going for a round or two of golf if a desire to walk on turf rises.

Moles are blind, yeh?
That baitin' control is a bit of rough play then, hey?

I have been thinking of using a quickie adapter off my X-One exhaust, and using a 1.5 flexhose at idle speed to gas them with carbon monoxide.
The uplift on my mulcher 54 pretty much levels out the mound, and then it takes just a minute of hand grubbing to expose a decent downhole.
So should I?..... or shouldn't I?
