Mole Hunting...

I hate fucking moles. I love the spike traps that impale those little fuckers. They look like little mole-sicles on them spikes.

I am looking for the best method to kill moles.

Poisons, small nuclear weapons I really do not care. I want what is going to kill them and their entire family. If a neighborhood cat or two get caught up in the fray that is the price you pay for this war.

I was thinking of putting strichnyne in their tunnel. I am sure that it would burn their feet, it is sweet and they would lick their fucking little mole paws and would kill them dead.

Any full proof methods out there?
 
Go get your shovel, round point is best. Sneak up quietly and step down their tunnel, all of it. Then back away, sit down and have about two beers. About the time you take the last swallow, you'll notice the tunnel raising up again, slowly, from one end or the other. Step up slowly behind the tunnel with the shovel, plunge it in behind the rodent, flip it up and beat the hell out of him with it. Bury him in the hole you've created, step it down and go get another beer. Repeat later if necessary. Or, you could always call Thump.

I would just call Thump first then sit down and drink the two beers while you wait for him. Additional beers are approved if deemed necessary.

First it was ground hogs and now moles. About 15 years ago I had a raccoon come down my chimney (it was actually in my fireplace). Maybe we need a "varmint control" forum in BP. :biggrin:

Don't forget the nutria thread.

Seems to me the best way to get rid of them is to get rid of what they eat. I thought I had read that they eat grubs and worms. You can poison them, I think they make poison gummy worms for them, but it lacks the drama of being directly involved in their death.

On a similar note I have a armadillo that likes something in my yard. He has been nocturnal but I have a special arrow waiting on the MF. New thread time?

I have an image of you motionless in a short deer stand, face painted camo, willing yourself not to swat the mosquitoes as you wait for the possum on a half shell. :biggrin:

Getting a cat works best. The only downside is that the cats won't eat the dead mole's so you'll need to dispose of the carcass. Cats are fucked up and finicky, but it won't take long before the mole's realize they need to move residence to your neighbors yard.

Cats are a real asset. Unfortunately for us, the neighbors who had an outdoor cat moved a few years back. And now... our shrews are back! We tried mouse traps with our shrews and it didn't work. They are little dudes that almost look like a mouse, but we can't seem to kick them out of yard.

Anyone know how to get rid of these things without a cat?
