What is the cure of moles in your flower beds?

These creatures are actually lifting small trees that have been planted. I need help please.

What is the cure of moles in your flower beds?
get rid of their food.. grubs. Apply triazicide to the areas and water in to kill grubs, etc. apply per label instructions!!!





Trap the moles. It's unpleasant.. but effective!
Reply:There are surface-mount mole traps. You pull back on the spring loaded trigger and, squash down a mole run, and press the trap into the ground over the squashed run. That leaves a set of sharp points poised over the run. When a mole pushes through he hits the trigger and the points of the trap spring down and spear him. It is cheap and easy and you don't even have to see the dead mole itself. There are no poisons and no baits needed.

Reply:Depending on where you live the creature that may be affecting you is a shrew. These creatures are about the size (and Look) of a house mouse. They are in the same family as the mole in that they are insectivores. This means that the majority of their food is earthworms and the balance is grubs and larvae. Shrews lack the massive digging claws that a mole has and they tend to stay in mulch beds. Their holes allow shrubs and bushes root system to become air born which seriously weakens the plants


To catch shrew (kill them) I use a mouse trap and my own proprietary worm bait-I would suggest you use real bacon as a bait (shrews are also carnivorous when live bait is hard to find) Carefully dig out a tunnel and place the trigger end of the trap in the path-then cover with a 6" clay pot-may take some time but you will eventually get them


Start right now and check traps regularly-shrews are capable of having 3-4 litters a year with 6-10 pups per litter-you need to get on this right now or your entire yard can get populated quickly


Their is NO HUMANE WAY to capture either of these animals-they must be killed


Good Luck

Reply:Having tried several things in our yard, we found the best way to get rid of them is to get rid of their food. Apply trazadone to kill the grubs that moles feed on.
Reply:Go to your local home and garden store and buy a bottle of Fox Urine. I think Bobcat and Coyote Urines are available too. I know this sounds gross, but it can help keep critters out of your garden. Once the moles smell that the territory has been 'marked', they will stay away. Instructions are on the bottle.
