Mole Patrol
How to Stop Moles from Making Your Yard a Mine Field.

Monday September 29, 2008
Even people who forgive Bambi and Thumper for eating their plants have no tolerance for Mr. Mole. Moles make a mess of your garden and yard by tunneling in every direction and pushing up volcanos of soil every time they want to sneak a peek above ground. About’s Landscaping Guide, David Beaulieu, has some suggestions for mole control; from plants that deter their tunneling to much harsher methods. If you’re tired of sinking into the ground as you walk across the lawn or you’ve been spotted once too often doing the mole stomp, take a look.

The best success I have had with getting rid of moles is using the bait and applicator from Mole Bait.

Hope this helps!
