How To Rid These Rodents!

These sorry critters can make a mess out of your yard! Listed below is tips & sources on how to kill these unwanted, hole making, no good, & lousy critters.....There not really defined as rodents but insectivores like an anteater....Still a rodent to me or in my opinion....

Rid The Mole

Before you break your ankle stepping in a hole!

  • First Step! Kill them rascals dead! However, if your a little softy & don't want to kill the rascals there is some sources listed below for you as well....
  • Trapping- This is really the best way to do it! Seriously....
  • The best traps to use are the following; Victor Out-O-Sight &/or the Victor Spear Trap.
  • The reasons these work so well is because you set these up to block a tunnel for these critters & they almost always come back through the tunnel & BAM! you got yourself a mole! I am telling you the truth, this is the most effective way to fight off these rascals...

Wasting Your Time Methods

First of all, think about the pollution & effects these have on your environment & the wasted pocket money to go along with it.....

  • Razor Blades
  • Gasoline
  • Explosives
  • Moth Balls
  • Castor beans
  • Ultrasonic Devices
  • Vibrations (Tillers, Lawnmowers, & etc.)
  • Human Hair
  • Bleach
  • Rose Branches
  • Broken Glass
  • Red Pepper
  • Lye
  • Pickle Juice
  • Draino

Guess What? It does not & will not work! The only way is to go to the hardware store & buy one of these traps! For those of you that don't want to kill them with traps, some Mole-Med poison baits will work sometimes...

Facts

I'm not going to lie to you! When you use a trap this is what will happen when you catch the critter.....

It will be clearing through the tunnel & your trap will be an obstruction for it & then it will still try to push through the tunnel & hit the trigger pan. When this happens it will release the spring that will go BAM! & leave it shredded or crushed to death by the trap. Keep in mind! This happens so quick, it doesn't have a clue what just happened.......No different than running over a squirrel!

Hope you rid them sorry rascals & maintain a beautiful yard this year!

A great way is to have malamutes or labs - ha ha - all they do is dig a 10 foot deep hole for you - so instead of the mole mound, you now have a swimming hole! The traps work - just a bummer when you have dogs from hell and have to make sure they can't get at them!
