How do you get rid of moles in your yard?

Answer 1

A popular method is to place a few weather vanes with propellers on sticks around the garden; the vibration caused by the propellers will often drive the moles away. A farmer told me two methods. Use aspirin down each hole or if you have a long haired cat, keep the fur and stuff it down the holes.

Answer 2

You have a double problem. The reason you have moles/voles is because you have a grub infestation under your lawn. The moles/voles are digging for the grubs, their favorite food. Get Scotts Grub Control Lawn Seed to kill the grubs and soon the moles/voles will relocate to your neihbors yard. You can use poison or pour water down their holes. A Decker Rat Terrier is glad to eliminate all rats, coons, squirrels, gophers, and moles. Excellent hunters and great family dogs. Most rewarding!!! If you can't have a dog try covering as many open holes as possible and stick a hose from tailpipe of a running engine or even lawnmower motor down in one of the holes,pack dirt around it & let it run for about 15 minutes, you don't have to bury them, either. Put a loud speaker in their home.

They hate that?!?!?!?1 get a cat... and no, I am not being sarcastic You can get rid of them by steping on top of their tunnles under ground. You can tell where the tunnles are by just walking on your yard and feeling with your feet where the groud is soft. By pressing your foot on these soft spots in the ground, you can chase these moles away.

Answer 3

Try this...it WORKS!!!

Bury a glass mason jar in the ground outside the border of your lawn area. Then built a three legged structure about 12-18" high above the jar (I used 3/4" PVC).

Tie a string or fishing line from the top of the structure and connect the other end to a piece of pipe that will dangle down into the mason jar. As the wind blows the string back and forth, the piece of pipe clangs on the side of the mason jar making an irregular sound that drives moles away. It's like those electronic devices only better because it is irregular.

I also made a small "sail" that attached to the string so that it would catch more wind and move even more...causing more clanging!!!

My neighbors have moles every spring, I haven't had one in years.

Answer 4

There are two good ways (a farmer told me these tactics): If you have a cat and they are shedding, keep the fur and ball it up and stick it down the mole hole. Put an aspirin down the hole. I know these are pesky little creatures. I live in British Columbia, and I've got them in part of my gardens. I have a short-haired cat so no go for saving fur, but, I did use the aspirin and that seemed to do the trick (so far.) Marcy
