Does anyone know of a cure for Moes? They havent done any damage yet, but getting a little close. I have traps and have been watching with gun but still no luck. Is there a poison,anything?

You need to find the main run...stomp down all runs and find the one they use the most. There are poison worms you can purchase that works awesome. Moles are one of those things if you have a healthy soil. You have a good population of worms. It is a buffet for them

Walmart has a repellent.I just saw it today.We don't have a mole problem here as it takes a pick and shovel to get through the soil.LOL

I planted castor bean plants every 10 foot around my property and I didnt have moles those two years, but sometimes we go a few years without them,so it may have been a coincidence .

Be careful the beans are toxic to pets and people.

I usually trap them and only stomp down a small area of each run to figure out the the ones they are using, then I flatten out just the spot where the trap is set.I have killed dozens of them this way.

If I shotgun them,then I stomp down the whole run, its satisfying to blow one right out of ground, the dog keeps them thinned out but He can dig some pretty big holes.

Set a trap anywhere near a run and bait it with liquid worm castings. They will come.

Easy set mole trap. Look it up online, it is worth the money and works very well. I had a huge problem many years ago and have wiped them out. I haven't seen a mole in a few years.
