So, after two kinds of bait/poison, countless smoke bombs, mole holes packed with cedar shavings, 2 gallons of homemade cayenne pepper based repellent poured down the holes and 5 weeks of fighting, the front lawn looks like this on a Saturday morning!!!
This mole has now excavated 2 wheelbarrows full of dirt from UNDER the lawn.
The newest idea for a remedy--pack every hole that can be found with dry ice. 14 mounds removed and 30+ lbs. of dry ice packed into the holes.
After successful packing, and a little warm water, things start looking like this. Let's hope that the CO2 crept into every corner of the burrow (borough??) and silently asphyxiated him!!!
My crack team of helpers are featured here. With their assistance, I was able to do this task in ony TWICE the time I could have done it alone.
For those of you who forgot how badly she needed a haircut!
