How do you get rid of MOLES!

[Ma3tt]

When I was looking for my old VW pictures I found this one from my skinny days. Here is another way to eliminate irritating pest species, archery the silent death. I got pretty good at hitting squirrels too.



FEAR NO FISH!

Here in NE Ohio we have an old feller who calls himself "The Trapper" and his remedy is cheap and safe. Mix cement powder with peanut butter and when they eat it they go "Belly up". They stay underground and is self burying. To get rid or more than one mouse at a time (don't have to reset trap) put a coathanger axle across a bucket with a thread spool in the center, put bacon grease on the spool, duct tape a ruler to the bucket (ramp from floor) mouse walks up ramp-leans to spool-whoops, slips and falls into bucket and drowns in the 2 to 3 inches of antifreeze. Empty bucket --reload and ready for the next colony. Good for cottages etc. Good hunting. Les

We gave up on trying to solve our mole problems and finally took out the front lawn, replacing it with perrenials, ornamental grass, and a few spiteful piles of rocks (Take that, moles!). We do miss the little hills of nice potting soil that the moles pushed up for us in our former lawn.

Man's Homemade Mole Killer Kills Him Instead
Reuters
BERLIN (Jan. 11) - A German retiree who wired up a high-voltage cable to try to wipe out the moles digging up his garden killed himself instead, police said Thursday.

Uwe Werner, police spokesman in Stralsund north of Berlin, said the 63-year-old retired construction foreman was found dead in the garden of his weekend house in Zingst next to a 380-volt cable and metal spikes rammed into the ground.

"The moles survived," Werner said, noting the voltage was enough to run a cement mixer or heavy-duty power saw. "It was in any event an unorthodox method to try to get rid of moles."

man theese little bugars really give me a headache, they tear up my back yard, my chihuahua hates them, but has never caught one, I have tried gas in there tunnels with a match chaser, no luck, I have tried caster oil, nope, I have tried the peanuts, I actually think the like them, I found a few bear cans in the back yard after I tried them. But I have a idea, when the ground thaws and the little sh**s get going again, I am going to buy some black cat fire crackers and wait to see the mounds come up, when I step on them they usually dig right back out, I can hear the little bas***ds laughing at me. I am going to mash the mound, tape about three firecrackers together to make one bomb, and put about four or five around the mound, run ten guage wire from a lawn chair to the mound connect the bare wires and tie the fuse on, go back to the lawn chair and keep my cold beer company and wait, when I see the dirt moving, I'll conect the end if the wires to a car battery, and "BOOM". if it doest work, at least I'll have had time to have a few beers and a good explosion for entertainment

I started this thread. I got the trap listed earlier. I killed 5 moles in 6 weeks. Well worth the money! Try it before using explosives. If it doesn't work for you, blow it up as well. Good luck!
