Ahhhh. moles. The yard kind, not the face kind. The moles infiltrated my yard a few years ago. They came in via the neighbors yard. I watched his troubles for years not knowing that they were heading ….. my way. This year, they’re moving. I’ve been told that trapping is the only way to go but I’m going to attempt to make them move out before I result to killing them. First weapon of choice? GrubEx. I’m making an attempt to remove their food from my lawn.
This is what the side yard looks like now. I only have them in the side yard. The driveway blocks them from the rest of the yard. This is after I have already knocked down the mole hills. I would have saved them for the pictures if I would have thought about it but, you get the picture… right? 
I just put the GrubEx down this morning and I’m watering the crap out of the lawn right now. In a few days I’m going to get some lawn insect killer to kill all of their food. Stay tuned.

Well, getting rid of their food didn’t work. So, I borrowed a loop trap from a guy at work. Bingo! Worked like a charm. There was only one of those little guys in the side yard causing all of that damage. I would have thought there were more of them.
Now it looks as if a mole has entered my back yard via the farm field. I’m heading out to the hardware store today to pick up my own traps. We’ll see how well they work on this bunch.
I picked up the trap with the spikes. Set it a few times. I always find it tripped but no mole. I need a better trap.

Well, I went and picked up a loop trap on Saturday after work. I set the trap when I got home. Within 30min I had my back yard mole. I’ll never use any other trap then a loop trap for moles. I’ve had great results with mine.
