If only all of SoCal would do that, we'd never have to hear about water shortages again.

Worst thing about moving to the Northeast- eating steamers, and having Stanley Steemer clean your house.
I love clams, can't eat something called a steamer.

Steamers are still better than Gooey Ducks in my book any day!
Wow! that's twice in 1 day with a high degree of relevance that I've got to use this pic :lol:

if you're in an open area...able to shoot....
...Without nailing your neighbor while he's watching Dancing With the Stars..;-)...maybe you can ramp it down a notch or 10 from mondeo's military level caliber..with just your average low calibre rifle will take a rat out...accurate! Or maybe take a look at the high-powered BB guns available...y/n?

You know...that's a damn good idea. I picked up a neat pellet/bb gun a few months ago. I use it up in VT; sit/stand on deck, shoot cans hanging from the clothes line. Ahhhhh!
Anyway, the thing has some power. I'm sure it could easliy take out a rat. And there usually aren't restrictions on where you can shoot a BB gun on your own property.

2 boxes of ex-lax squares have been inserted into various mole trails (OUTSIDE the invisible fence perimeter ) as of last night. Just hope those suckers are hungry AND that they make great fertilizer!

I used to have a .22 pellet gun. At closer ranges, it was nearly as powerful as a real .22, at least near enough to make no difference. Believe me, when I saw the rat climbing a tomato plant, I wanted it back. Alas, it is no more.
Can't wait to hear the results of the Ex-Lax biowarfare, though I can't imagine how you'll know the results, beyond the moles being gone. Might be enough for one of them to eat it, and the rest will move out. I would.

Should know the success (or lack there of) pretty quick. Planning on cutting the lawn on Saturday which does a pretty good job of rolling down their trails (Thank you Simplicity Tractor with full deck width lawn roller
) and if they haven't sh$t themselves to death, those trails (or atleast the active ones) will be popped up once again within 24 hours. And I currently have 3 seperate and distinct mole trail pods in my yard laced with ex-lax

You'll know they're gone, but you won't get teh gory details. Probably for the best.

On a side note, as I was making the mega ex-lax purchase the other evening, I was really glad that that the girl at the cash register at my local CVS and the folks infront + behind me inline weren't patients of mine! Could only imagine what they'd be thinking of that sight! :lol:

But with my method you don't have to worry about how close to a house or road you are, becuase you can hit the thing from a mile away. And no disposal either, just instant fertilizer.

Trails are back up, hoping those suckers got a good chow down on the ex-lax as they were re-opening them. I'll stamp them back down tommorrow and see if 2 days of hopefully non-stop mole sh$tting has done the trick!

I had a similar experience buying up all the CLR (9 bottles) in a Pathmark and a bucket of leftover fried chicken.On a side note, as I was making the mega ex-lax purchase the other evening, I was really glad that that the girl at the cash register at my local CVS and the folks infront + behind me inline weren't patients of mine!
