jlmiracle 7 #1 March 22, 2005 This thing(s) is ripping up my yard and pissing me off. I have tried the following already without desired results. 1. water hose 2. smoke bombs 3. moth balls 4. bottle rockets 5. roman candles 6. fire crackers 7. poison peantus 8. finally bot a mole trap - the kind that is suppose to spear them. The mole has triggered it twice but never caught, just moved to another tunnel. Anyone have any ideas that have worked?

profallrate 0 #9 March 22, 2005 My dog dug a 6 ft long trench across my drive way yesterday trying to get one. He got it, now if I can just teach him to fill the trenches back in!

hooked 0 #11 March 22, 2005 Is it in the gardens or lawn area? I've heard that if you keep the lawn well fertilized and use an insecticide in the lawn area, they won't tunnel through the lawn area because there aren't any 'grubs' there. They still will tunnel through the gardens though. Or.....just wait until they leave and go to the neighbors yard!

freeflir29 0 #13 March 22, 2005 Quote Isn't that what the Jack Russel was bred for? They were originally bred for fox hunting in the UK. They were carried in saddle bags on the horses. If the fox made it to his den they would get the big hounds back and let the Jacks dig the fox out of his den. Most Jacks have a good hunting instinct and will hunt damn near anything. Especially small rodents, squirrels, rabbits, etc etc etc. One of the reasons they RARELY die of old age. They THINK they weigh 200 lbs and are invincible.

I wouldn't mind the holes - we've dug enough ourselves trying to get it.

In fact he put up with the cat a lot better than he put up with the wife. I've never seen a breed of dog that gets MORE jealous. However.......if any of the neighborhood cats come in the yard.......LOOK OUT!!!!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kingbunky 3 #21 March 22, 2005 mine's the same way. ignores (or plays) with any critter in the house, but loses his mind if he sees a cat in the yard. all we have to say is 'get the kitty' and he's off."Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart."

cbain 0 #23 March 22, 2005 Well, I've never tried this but my chemistry teacher in high school (years ago) used to swear by bubble gum. She pre-chewed it, formed it into a little pellet and down the hole. (At least that's what I remember). Or maybe try googling it? Christina Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jlmiracle 7 #24 March 22, 2005 Quote Buy a Boa Constrictor. Do not feed it for 2 weeks. Let it loose in the yard. No more mole. Will you come get it when its done? The only problem with that is the neighbor has chickens, and peacocks, and guinea's and ducks and geese and I would fear the snake would get them also.
