Things You'll Need:
- Live Animal Traps
- Mousetraps
- Shovels
- Shovels
- 1/2-inch mesh fencing
-
Step 1
Line the sides and bottoms of plants and beds with 1/2-inch galvanized wire mesh. You can do this while preparing a new bed for planting, or you can place mesh around the base of each individual plant. The mesh will allow the roots to grow but will stop the mole from killing the plants by uprooting them.
-
Step 2
Set live animal traps in the mole's tunnels. Make sure a tunnel is still in use by damaging an area to see if the mole repairs it after a day.
-
Step 3
Catch the mole yourself. If you happen to see a mole tunneling just under the surface of a lawn or bed, block its path, front and back, with shovels.
-
Step 4
Shovel the animal into a covered plastic tub or trash can for easy transport and release, far away from human dwellings.
-
Step 5
Set a mousetrap inside an active tunnel. Moles are roughly the size of large mice and can be caught in regular traps. But these animals eat only worms and grubs, so bait the trap with a treat from your garden.

on 5/5/2007 Tried it All - Nothing Worked. I started to feel like Bill Murray in Caddyshack. I HATED these moles tearing up the yard. I saw the comment here on MoleAttack. I tried it and the moles were gone after 2 days. Thank You MoleAttack!

on 5/5/2007 I tried everything. They were destroying my lawn and it was making me crazy. I started to feel like Bill Murray in CaddyShack. I read the comment here on MoleAttack and tried it. In two days the moles were gone and I haven't seen another trail since. The only thing wrong was that it was almost too easy. I would have liked the personal satisfaction of doing something much more flamboyant than just putting a small smelly cotton ball into the trail to get rid of them.
Thank you MoleAttack!

on 11/22/2005 I had this same problem with moles, then I found this product called MoleAttack. You just drop a little ball into the mole hole and the mole is gone the very next day, just like the web site says. It really works. You can purchase it for less then $10 at http://www.MoleAttack.com.

on 11/22/2005 I had two cats that would catch and kill moles all the time. They would even bring them up to the patio door. Eventually, the moles were all gone.

on 11/22/2005 Put Castor oil in your hose end sprayer and spray down the area of the yard where the mole is digging. This gives the little diggers diaherra, and they soon leave to another yard or to the "big yard in the sky". It took only 2 days for me to see results!
