Ground Moles |
|
|
I live in Illinois and this Summer we hardly had any rain and it's been extemely hot. I have lived in my house for 14 years and this is the very first time that I have ground hogs or ground moles making tunnels in my front yard. They have eaten up my entire Hosta plant. What is the best way to get rid of this pest so it doesn't come back next year?

Theres no reason to kill the little fellow, just do what I did and find his hole stick a water hose in it and then fill it up. Surprisingly you will see him come out of the ground from another hole that you weren't aware of and then you can put him in a bucket and take him to the park and release him safely. If your lucky when ever you go for a walk at the park you may see him building a new home and then feel good that he is still alive and happy. Thanks for reading, from Kevin L. in Arlington, Texas.

Ground moles are harmless, they actually will benefit your lawn if you let them eat all the bad grubs out of it. Their food source is the grubs that kill your lawn. The mole is the most organic way to rid your lawn and garden of those horrible grubs.

The main reason for moles is that they are after the grubs(an insect) in your yards. So the easiest way to get rid of them is to go to the garden center and get something to kill grubs and the moles will leave too. It's no too hard really, you could pay a professional to rid your yard of grubs but it is not hard to do your self.

I've had a problem with ground moles and I got rid of them by putting something sharp down where they run, Make sure you go deep enough and take a shovel and dig up a part where they run and put it in there. I used a piece of rose bush. The reason for this is moles will pick themselfs with the rose thorns and the will bleed to death because there blood does not clot like ours does. Works for me everytime. Try and get as early in summer as possible before they have babies. Sheila""

RE: Ground Moles
I would love to know the answer to this too! We had mole problems and it wasn't hot and dry (we live in WA state). Our outdoor cat used to hunt them and we never had problems before, but now she's getting too old and doesn't do that any more. We DID try sprinkling some stuff down on the lawn, and I haven't noticed any new holes.

Treat your all your lawns to get rid of grubs - the major food source of moles. Once your get rid of their food source they will leave voluntarily.
