Sunday, September 17, 2006 Help Dealing with Pesky Moles in Yard

A reader recently asked for help with dealing with moles in her yard. Here are the replies I received:

reguarding the moles,,,,,go onto peta's website. they should have information on animals and how to get rid of them without killing them. if not, please write to them so they can live too. From Jeri
To Betty: Who asked... How do you get rid of moles?Well, they seem to love Wrigley's Juicy Fruit Gum. I dig in one of the dirt piles that they made in my yard, until I find their tunnel. I unwrap a piece of gum, with gloves on, so they don't pick up my scent on the gum. I put the gum in their tunnel, and cover it back up. When they eat the gum, they can't digest it and they die. I hope this helps. I know it works for me! From Darlene
I can sympathize with Betty and her mole infestation! Here's what I've found to work.
I drop a stick of Juicy Fruit chewing gum about every 6 feet in the run. I'm told that the moles love the flavor, but are unable to digest it. It really does work! Good luck Betty! From Teresa

I personally like Jeri's suggestion best. :) If anyone else has any tips, send them to me at christinam@nucleus.com
