Dave,
Around here they recommend Castor Oil to drive them away. Nurseries sell clay pellets saturated with Castor Oil, which you're supposed to broadcast around your yard. The moles don't like the smell of the stuff and leave.
That's the rumor.

Well Dave, I finally saw one a dem little bastids. Never had seen one in real life before until a couple of weeks ago. They must be as bad as you say, neither the cat nor the dogs would touch it.

Snake oil works good. We used it all the time where I grew up and we never had a mole problem. Course the folks on the apartment just below us were overrun with them.

Yeeouch!

That thinset grout dryer do-hickie scares up all kinds of ground vermin.

Note: Pic actually submitted by Brian (ceramictec) and rated on the Bubba Goldstein ten scale as a six for originality.

I'll have you know my family owns the franchise for the entire 13 original colonies. Traded the Brooklyn Bridge for the franchise. Guy was a real dummy. This is my grandpappy.
