This year there has been an infestation of moles around my property. Normally they stay out in the field area between my property and the crop fields and never go into my back lawn.
This year they have made their way into the yard and up to the foundation of my home. My back lawn is not the greatest and I was going to have a new lawn installed in spring but decided to wait until these things are gone.
Any suggestions? Here is what I have done to date and the results:
Seven - did notice dead beetles on the surface after application and the one rain event we had. Moles still around.
Mole & Gopher "peanuts" - Placed in active tunnels - tunnel still active
Tomcat worm - Might have worked but gets expensive - I had bought 4 boxes. Had a one week break, but it is back or new mole using existing tunnel.
The spike traps - have four - they have gone off but nothing killed.
moth balls - placed one about 4 inches apart around the property. Sort of like an invisible fence. The moles ignored it.
A sonic spike - Yes, I fell prey and bought one of those spikes (solar powered) that emits a sonic vibration into the soil. The box said it does work
I think you know what the result is on this.
I have never seen it this bad. It is not just me, my neighbors have them too. Is it because we have had a lack of rain? The early season warm spell? Any suggestions to get rid of them are welcome.
