You can never go wrong with high explosives

Just buy some carbide at the hardware store, pour it in the holes. Add some water. The carbide will excrete acetylene. Wait a minute, then chuck a match in the first hole.
WHOOMP.

Nuke the site from orbit.
It's the only way to be sure.

F' yeah!

Poison Peanuts, availible at Home Depot.

I'm quite fond of the 'Mole-Skewer 3000'---has 4 sharp prongs that shoot into ground when mole tries to dig out partially collapsed tunnel--quite satisfying

Mole-st him. He'll move.

What shoulman said.
Had 'em .. used peanuts.. didn't have them any more.
Tho.....
from a manly man standpoint.. explosives are very attractive.
You've always wanted a few extra frog ponds scattered around, right?

Explosives and/or motion sensored machine gun.
Hell, what my friend's dad does is buy a great high powered BB gun and sits on his back porch and shoots at whatever is in his lawn.

What better way to get rid of a mole is to get a bulldozer and squish its little brains out, then to be safe jab a 12,000 lb bomb up its butt and light the fuse

License to kill gophers by the government of the United Nations. Man, free to kill gophers at will. To kill, you must know your enemy, and in this case my enemy is a varmint. And a varmint will never quit - ever. They're like the Viet Cong - Varmint Cong. So you have to fall back on superior firepower and superior intelligence. And that's all she wrote. -- Carl Spackler

One crisp, early morning on the farm, Popa mole stuck his head out of the hole next to the farmhouse kitchen window.
He said,,,Mmmmmmm Ummmmmmm ..I smell bacon and eggs. Moma mole worked her way up beside Popa mole, stuck her head out and said..............Mmmmmmmmmmm mmmm Ummmmmmmm ... I smell pancakes cooking.
Baby mole was squirming in the hole behind them, trying to get his head out of the hole unsuccessfully. He said.....that`s strange cause all I smell is moleasses. :)
....BTW, I`m back from Sturgis and I`m plastered. :)_

It's a bit cruel, but there is nothing more satisfying than burying them...ALIVE!

I've hunted moles for 15 solid years now on 2 different yards. I've tried every method under the sun for eliminating them. Only ONE is tried and true, and works. Trap them.
Oh, and for what its worth, moles don't eat peanuts. They are not vegetarian. They eat worms and grubs, occasionally slugs. If you eliminate worms and grubs from your lawn, they will leave.(They will also return once the worms, grubs reestablish themselves too.)I might add that this method is not preferable, as your lawn will be in bad shape because earth worms are essential to a healthy lawn.

Hi Simaril,
I too have used the Mole trap with the four skewers with mixed results. Mole poison (the crystals, not the peanuts) works but is out if you have pets (or in my case small kids).
Our neighbor's dog digs 'em out and eats 'em, this seems to be the best methodology, other than the ones previously mentioned involving destroying your yard, large portions of the neighborhood, or most of the Western Hemisphere.

Hey, my acetylene technique has the advantages of:[list=1]
- Being practical. Carbide is cheap and available.
- Being patriotic. Variations of this are used to fight terrorists in Afghanistan.
- Effective.
- Clean. No need to clean blood off anything, the moles just fertilize your dirt from below.
- Cheap. No need to buy expensive metal implements.[/list=1] Plus, it improves your soil.

The Ubiquitous

Course you got to catch the little bugger first
-
the easy way....

one case of holy handgrenades would do the trick.

Follow up to my previous reply. Here is the exact same traps I have. I've trapped 3 of the buggers in one month this year. I use a flat-blade short spade to cut a 8"X 8" chunk of sod out, push some dirt in the tunnel (so the mole will do its thing and clear it out) and set this bugger aligned with the tunnel, place a 2 gallon bucket over the top. Check it the next day. Bingo. Dead mole. Then I remove the trap and mole, just place the chunk of sod back in..a week later you can't tell it was removed.

Dadgummit.. ya done gone and make me look up what I used.
Ok.. I retract the peanut part.
The actual product I used was MOLETOX II
2% Zinc Phosphide is the only active ingredient.
Like I said.. it worked. A couple years ago.. they haven't been back since.
I think 'poison peanuts' was akin to asking for a 'kleenex' when you really wanted a Puffs Plus.
I sit corrected

Generator, two runs of 12Ga wire, two metallic poles. Attach aforementioned wires to generator and to pulls. Insert aforementioned poles into earth.
Fire that puppy up.
PS: great way to fish as well. Although nothin says fishin like a quarter stick of TNT.
-
Rip, that would be way more fun if it catapulted the mole into your neighbors yard..>
-
If you have a coyote problem, use two and don't bother with the bucket. One trap facing down to catch the mole, and one facing up to nab the coyote that comes by to eat the mole. Chain it down though otherwise the coyote will probably run off with your trap.
-
I've got three of the 6-nail Victor mole traps out on tunnel paths, and although the things look like relics from the medieval Tortures-R-Us outlet, I havent caught a thing. I've given each setup for 2 days, then crushed all visible tunnels to see where the critter's moving -- and reset traps there. I've used the "poison peanuts" on 3-4 different tunnel sites.
Probably just a carryover from my inability to hit targets in the MA.
It's been about a week of serious man-vs-rodent work, and I'm beginning to think about the plastic-explosive- shaped- to-look-like-a-squirrel approach...
I really want to kill this sucker before the fall slows him down -- last thing I want is a whole fmaily of the varmints.
Heater, do you know where I could pick up one of the kits you illustrated?
-
Carbide. Water. Lit match.
-
Rip, I always stuff the crimped mole back into the hole and bury it. Rumor has it no mole will ever pass through that neck of the woods again.
So far it seems to hold true.

I have had great sucess with Sheep, they seem to find and destroy moles very efficently. Just dont try and use a goat to do a sheeps job, very bad stuff!

Great idea! I'll employ those Vietnam tactics next time! :p

Turned out we have 3 moles, which is my they're leaving such a trail of devastation. Above is the fruit of my second victory (Note that I have not yet painted the marking on the trap).

Simaril the Impaler. Eventually someone will write a book about you.

My mom's cat used to hunt them overnight. You'd get up in the moring to 15 dead moles on your porch. :rofl
