How do you get rid of moles in your yard?

1. Keep your lawn mowed and healthy, as moles prefer overgrown areas.

2. Eliminate food sources, such as grubs and earthworms, by applying insecticide or nematodes to the soil.

3. Install physical barriers such as fences or hardware cloth buried underground around your yard or garden to prevent moles from entering.

Trapping:

1. Set mole traps in active burrows. Place the trap in the burrow, cover it with soil, and make sure the trigger is set. Check the traps daily and remove any caught moles.

2. Use electronic mole traps that emit vibrations or ultrasonic waves to repel moles.

Repellents:

1. Apply commercial mole repellents to the affected areas. These repellents typically contain castor oil or other natural ingredients that moles find unpleasant.

2. Create your own repellent using castor oil, peppermint oil, or other strong-smelling substances. Mix the repellent with water and pour it into active burrows.

Poison Baits:

1. Use commercial mole poison baits that contain ingredients like zinc phosphide or strychnine. Place the baits in active burrows and cover them with soil. Note: Poison baits can be harmful to other animals, so use with caution and follow all safety precautions.

Fumigants:

1. Use gas cartridges that release carbon monoxide or other gases into the mole burrows. Follow the instructions on the product label carefully and take appropriate safety precautions.

Note: Some methods, such as poisoning and fumigating, may require permits or may be prohibited in certain areas, so it's important to check with local regulations before using these methods. If the mole problem persists or if you're uncomfortable using these methods, consider hiring a professional pest control service.
