If destroying my yard was the objective then I wouldn't have any problem accomplishing that goal. I could use a Ditch Witch, a backhoe or a skid steer loader and have the whole lot scraped clean in a day. But I live here and prefer not destroying my property. I kinda sorta want to kill the moles...

Erik, maybe while you're down here you could engineer some sort of electric fence guillotine trap for me. Would love to be able to pull their fried carcasses out of the hole. :evil:

Bill, see the video in post #16. :/: I did find a couple videos confirming the mothball idea. It certainly can't hurt to make my yard as undesirable to moles as possible.

Which is?

John, I've blasted the yard with Dursban and Termidor repeatedly. Assuming I still have live grubs, how would you suggest I reduce their population? I have a vacant house next door and I have begun treating about a quarter of that yard as well in order to increase the perimeter of the dead zone.

I need my trees. :cry:

So dig up my entire lawn and landscaping to till the vole block into the soil? That could cost me thousands.

Two different types of traps, they completely avoided one and they regularly trip and laugh at the other. I even sharpened the spears and filed down the trigger release. I set up two in a row so when they trip one and run off, the other might get them. Every single day I walk out to see them...

Yes, Fred. Hence the EPA Superfund Site level of pesticides applied over the last 5 years.

I'm not willing to get a cat, dog or roommate at this point. I enjoy my freedom to come and go unrestricted and have no desire to assume responsibility for a pet.

I've about had it with these moles around my yard. I've put down every chemical bug poison available (and a couple illegal ones) to no avail. I've sprayed down the yard with soap, I've put down 5x the recommended dosage of Dursban, I've sprayed the yard with Termidor, I've poured motor oil...
