My War Resumes

[gblowfish]

With the moles and voles. They are like the Viet Cong. I chase them into Cambodia and Laos, they run then sneak back across the border and dig tunnels and trails. Little bastards. Today I Grub Ex'ed the entire yard and put pellets down in the fresh runs I could find. Tomorrow we hit them with the poison worms and stinky garlic shit. I will bomb them into the stone age.

My chocolate lab digs the ****in things up all over the place and brings them all to the front porch.

I had a bad mole or vole prob years ago, back when I gave **** about my back yard and my dog hadn't made it look like ww1 france. The spiky cleats attached to my work boots in conjunction with the poison worked well. I had a couple years of pretty nice grass there, then I got a husky and my entire back yard got destroyed from the digging, wolf strength piss, zoomies, and the occasional steamer. This was from a dog that got at a minimum of a two mile walk every day and had 90% of his bathroom time on said walks. You have a way bigger yard than mine I'm guessing being in independence so the cleats may not be an option. maybe a rolly spikey thing plus the poison.

We had them for a few years and not a whole lot seemed to help until the Mrs put a couple of metal wind spinners in the yard....someone told her that the vibration in the ground bothers them and they go away....haven't had an issue the past couple years.

I opened this expecting a pizza boy KO’d on the lawn.

Grubs are the food source that attracts moles. Putting down anti-grub stuff from The Grasspad fixed the mole problem for me.

Just wait until the armadillos move in.

I have battled these bastards since last spring. Set traps poison pellets and grubex. Nothing has worked even in dead of winter had fresh mounds of dirt. I need to get a dog since I got married and had kids no dogs per wife who won't allowed inside and I won't keep one outside in the bitter cold. I didn't have moles when I had dogs so maybe can the wife lol.

Bleh, moles and voles are pussies compared to what a badger will do to your yard.

As a lawn care professional, you wasted money putting on Grub Ex. Just because you have moles, doesn’t mean you even have a single grub in your lawn. Plus it doesn’t even work this time of year on grubs. Basically the only thing you can do for moles is poison or traps.


If you have voles, try an old fashioned wood and spring mouse trap. Put some peanut butter on it to attract them. Works like a charm.

I feel ya gblowfish. I have been battling the bastards for 2-3 years and have pretty much given up. Though I might have figured at least part of my problem out, I noticed since we stop feeding the birds I haven't had a new run\whole for 3 weeks at least. So I googled that and I guess bird food does attract moles.

That's really weird because I've had other lawn care professionals tell me Grub Ex is key because grubs is what they like to eat. And the Scott's bag says "put down in early spring" which is now. Hard to know what to do when four out of five doctors can't agree on anything.

I compare them to the Viet Cong because I border with seven other houses. When I get rid of them they just run over to my neighbor's yard and wreck it. Then eventually they come back over into my yard. Pisses me off man.
