Well,
I think I am getting my thistle problem under control . Well, now I am
starting to see mole tracks in the yard . Today I looked out and I have a
pile of dirt in the yard that wasn't there last night . I don't know much
about moles . Now, is this pile of dirt where they start their tunnel, end
it or what ? I would like to know a way to get rid of these varmints .
Any suggestions ?
Thanks,
Raz

BTW: I am not an animal activist so don't worry about any effective way, I
don't care how it is done . As long as I get rid of them.

I've found that removing their food supply works best, plus makes for
a healthier yard. Get rid of your Grubs.

I used Milky Spore, it's long lasting, and nontoxic. Your neighbors
yards will seem more appealing to the mole(s).

Light a road flare and shove it in the hole. Buh bye!
Could you stand to breathe that sulfer crap? They will go away.

And, they'll be back, dipshit. They're not in your yard just hanging out,
they're there to eat your grubs.

While moles eat grubs and if you have a grub problem it should be dealt
with, moles have a wide variety of food sources. It's a myth that
having moles automatically equates to a grub problem. It's not
unusual to have a lawn that doesn;t have a grub problem, but still has
moles.

This time of year, in the OP's location, my money's on grubs, everytime.
Grubs and earthworms are a mole's main diet.

From _Fieldbook of Natural History_ by Palmer (Cornell U.) and
Fowler (Penn. State U.)

Common Mole: Food choices (in order of preference)
1. white grubs, and earthworms
2. insect larvae
3. adult insects

(Not really a "wide variety", unless you're going to count each species of
insect's larvae as a "variety").

Star-nosed Mole: 49% worms, 33 % insects, 8 % miscellaneous,
6 % crustaceans, 2 % mollusks, 2% vertebrates

Again, in the OP's location, I'd treat for grubs, or live with the moles,
and let them kill the grubs for you. If you'd rather not treat for grubs,
then sit there with a shovel and wait until you see them tunneling, and
whack em. =)

Can I yell MOVIE in a crowded firehouse?

No they don't DIPSHIT. I've done it, and so have my friends. They go
away and stay away, Probably because they are dead. DIPSHIT

If you are old like have the time....
First I flood their runs and holes with water.
Sometimes when I do that the mole comes to the top for air and then he gets
it.

If that didn't work, I flatten al the runs. Stepping on them, running the
golf cart over them or lawn roller.

Wait and hour and go back and look. Usually the mole will start back up
again in an hour or so and you can see him pushing the ground up. Take a
shovel and jam it in the ground/run about a foot or so behind him.

You can then flush him out with water or use another shovel to dig him up,
or in my case, I sick the dog after him.

It may take a few times of stomping the runs down till you get to his main
that one he uses. You can then watch it to catch him. It takes a little time
a patience.

But, for an old guy who has been doing it for years, a little time costs
nothing at all.

All I can say is a HUGE THANK YOU!!
I had three copies over the years, (had it as a Biology major in college),
and have always loved it. Twice it was borrowed and lost, but they replaced
it. The third time, never knew what happened!
Anyway, I have been trying to find this book everywhere, even looked in
amazon for YEARS. All I needed this time was the name, and it came up!

But if you hadn't brought it up I just may have never looked again, (even
tho this time it was nice to have the author's names, I had forgotten them),
and reading your post made me go check it out *one more time*, just in case!
Not in print, anymore, which is why I couldn't get it even at the college
libraries I looked/called, but I got a great deal on a used, but like new
copy.

I'd asked for it on e-bay for a long time, and never got an answer for it.
Had been checking all kinds of places, college libraries, for used books, to
no avail.

Thanks again and again.....

Oh it helps!! Hopefully anyone else looking for a great book, will order it.
I got it coming in for $11.00 total with S&H. I'll be a happy gal when
it's back in my home library!
I've got it ordered already, before I sent that note out, got it being
shipped by tomorrow. It's funny to see the first edition book on the e-bay
site! Looks a lot older, but as soon as I saw the pic on amazon, I knew it
was mine!

You really did help me out with just the mention of it. I think I gave up
looking for a few years now. g

Thanks again,
MaryBeth
