How do you (humanely) get rid of moles in your yard for good??


Question:

Answers:
Try sprinkling castor oil around their holes. Both gophers and moles do not like castor oil.

One recipe is as follows: Repellent. In a glass jar mix 1/2 cup of Castor oil, 1 teaspoon of Tabasco sauce and a few drops of peppermint oil with about a cup of water. Shake well to create an emulsion. Dip cotton balls into the mixture and stick the balls into active gopher holes near plants that you want to protect. Be sure to wear gloves!

Or add one-half cup Castor Oil (available at the drug store) to two gallons of water, and drench the tunnels or mole hills with the liquid.

Castor oil does not harm the moles or gophers, the scent of it drives them away.

Good luck.


get a cat fill up the holes with cement
Purchase a pesticide that kills Grubs. Grubs are the main food supply for Moles. No food, no moles.
Moles do not like the caper spurge plant (Euphorbia lathyrus) so plant a few of them and they will leave.
when you brush your dog, sprinkle the hair around the garden. works with cat hair, even human hair. easiest way would be to ask a barber for the trimmings from his/her clients.
never tried it myself, some people swear by it though.
