Can any one help me get rid of moles they are digging up the entire garden I'm totally invaded by them and I'm staring to worry about getting sink holes I was thinking of having a probe with an electric pulse any ideas will be welcomed. Xavier

No, you have ONE mole there !

They can create havoc in lawns and golf courses but are excellent if growing your own crops as they do wonders for the soil and eat the stuff that eats your crops etc.

You might need an expert who can trap the little blighter and take it somewhere else.

Just toss a cobra out there. Two days, no moles. Then you will need a mongoose . . .

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.

Always though you guys were a bit loco Idiot

. Maybe that's why I like it here. Grin

The moles are there for the grubs. Put Milky spore bacteria down. Comes in a little can and looks like flour. Ya put a tablespoon every 3 feet or so. The milky spore attacks the grubs stomach and when they die the next grub eats his buddy and he also dies. Several months and there is nothing to eat for the moles leave and go over BAs garden. Cool

Sometimes the milky spore will die off if the winter temp is under 20 or so. otherwise they will hang around and protect your garden. Find it at Agway, Tractor supply etc.

If that don't work its back to the incendiaries Great

What we do in the UK is we find the runs the mole uses when eating at night, (they are very territorial that's why I know you only have the one mole) by following a tunnel back from one of it's holes. We then drop a small cage/trap that shuts when the mole enters . Do make sure you cover the entrance hole of your cage, that is very important. Then next morning, we move the mole a few hundred yards away and release the blighter. They do make a mess, but for many farmers and gardeners they love moles !

If those moles can make it from Xavier's garden in South Africa to my Garden in Arizona, they're welcome to it (at least until I can get hold of that vacuum machine) Grin

aw comon, if the remedy doesn't burn or explode with the chance of severe trauma to the user what fun is it? Grin

BA if the moles make it that far you definitely gonna need something better than that big ol vaccuum Cheesy

Barbequed mole, not sure that will catch on even down south. Just takes too many to make a meal Grin
