get a cat

Kids adopted a little stray about a month ago. He’s killed a snake and a mole so far.

Juicy Fruit is my go-to. So seductively tempting, too delicious to refuse, deadly indigestible. Not the worst way to bow out of this mixed up world though, tummy locked up with gum.

I had them in my yard for years. One day they were simply gone. I will say I’ve had hawks perched on the fence, cats roaming around, and rat snakes slithering through the grass. But they literally disappeared one day. I hope you’re able to savagely kill them all.

If I come down with my Carharts on my Rat Terrier knows we are heading to the farm. She will follow me around till she jumps into the truck. She will kill moles, mice, etc... all day long. She is a killing machine!

I actually mentioned this to my daughter today. I need an extra pair of eyes out there.



It helps to smash in their main tunnels. They usually have main tunnels that are more straight that they re use, and side tunnels for hunting. Crush the main tunnel, and sit back in a lawn chair with a beer and watch for them to clear up the cave in. When you see them moving, use the shovel to kill them.

I have watched the white egretts pick them off at the local high school

I will exterminate using gasoline directed in the active section of the hole. It works 3 ways after igniting.

the ignition burns them

combustion products suffocate them


pressure wave stuns them


I have used this approach for ridding armadillos burroing under a slab also

My grandma gave my a stick with a spike on the end of it and instructed me to conduct a Special Operation on the invading moles that were causing ankle cracking holes and “royning” her vegetable garden. My strategy consisted of following the tunnels and collapsing them by stepping on them all the way down the line until I saw movement in the soil ahead or I came to and exit. My strategy was not very effective as I think I killed like 3-4 moles in the entirety of my deployment.

if you mash the tunnels down they reopen them
easy to catch movement when they do
