My neighbor uses scissor traps. He gets about two a week. He's been doing it for 40 years. They come out of the woods as fast as he can trap them. They are territorial and use old mole tunnels as soon as they are abandoned. I live with them by having a small lawn that I can manage.

Thanks Mike, We took the advice from Home Depot and I will let you know if it works. This is the very worst in the 14 years we have lived here. When my neighbor comes home and sees his front lawn - the pride of his home - he is going to have a fit. At least they are in the back garden at our house. Are the trees in your garden showing color? I bet they are beautiful and the maples are just starting to color. The maples outside of my office are spectacular! Enjoy the season.

Can I ask what HD suggested? Scissor traps and other killing type traps have been banned in King County since 2000. Only mouse and rat traps are exempt from this restriction.

This is going to start an interesting conversation! lol We used gas. I was not in the yard when they did it but did see the fumes come out of the end of the tunnel. Yes, we killed them!

AFAIK, gassing or similar methods are okay. It is the just the maiming or killing traps that are prohibited with the reason most often given is that they can injure pets and small children as well.

He puts a bucket over the trap in their tunnel. I can see why they are outlawed. My neighbor hasn't had any 'incidents' in 40 years. He's pretty careful and his whole ten acres is fenced with cows. No kids or solicitors.

We didn't maim the little suckers - we killed em! No kids and no pets were injured in the production of this film. lol

Here ya go.

too funny! ours was a lot smaller. just a puff of smoke - but at least this looks like it worked!

Mole update! Moles 2, back garden 0 lol

1. Pack of 8 sulfur flares.

2. used poison pellets in hole and covered - moles tossed out all the pellets onto the top of their dirt hill - don't think they ate any. More tunnels and more holes. Stomped tunnels, not sure it help discourage moles, but made us feel better!

3. Bought another packet of gas flares and set them today. Game continued.............

Mole update! Moles 4 back garden = zero!! I think there are fewer but they are still there. We bought the electronic vibrator noise things that go into the grass. HD said they were guaranteed and a phone number is included in the package. I think the two who left the back are not in the front yard. Two mound in grass today. Stay tuned.

I don't know if this is premature optimism, but I have not seen any new activity from our mole since I used sonic repeller reviewed here. It's hard to tell whether it's still in hiding from being almost assaulted with the shovel or whether it's actually gone, but so far so good...
