--OT-- mole and gopher control success stories

There are a few poisons out there that are designed to mimic an earthworm and I know several lawn care professionals that have used them repeatedly, but I can offer no first-hand recommendations.

The most sure-fire method I've heard of is a lawn chair, pitchfork or shovel, beverage of your choice and time. Sit in a shady spot and watch the mounds and the runs. When you see movement, run over and stab the run with the pitchfork or whack 'em with the back of the shovel.

Poison gas.

Gopher traps work good if you can find them making a new mound.

One other thing I heard of is human hair. Never tried it but would be interesting to see if it worked. The smell keeps them away. Guess it would work in small gardens but might be hard to put in in large areas. Plus, I dont have that much hair left.

We dont have either here but five miles down the road where it is sandy they are ate up with them. Mounds everywhere.

Or get a smoke grenade from paintball store, pull pin and toss down hole, then get gun and take aim,,,
