How to Get Rid of Moles | Mole Removal | Mole Trap vs Mole Poison

[@larryhendren9111]

Had mole problem west of you in Columbia for 35 years with little success of eradication. Used MolExit a number of years to move them along to the neighbors yard. However, a couple of years ago I tried Bell Laboratories Talpirid 7150 Mole Bait Worms, 20 Count with great success. I take a 2' x 1/2" dowel rod and poke down until I feel the void (tunnel) in an active run. I make two dowel rod holes in the suspect area. Using latex gloves, I break the worm into two pieces - one for each shaft. I roll the worms in peanut butter on wax paper. Then I drop one part down each hole. Great success so far!!

[@TheLawnGuardian]

Right on! Thanks for sharing this tip! Thanks for your support and watching!

[@mayxeelee]

Thank you I’ll try it 👍too

[@kelcritcarroll]

What is the purpose of the rolling in peanut butter?

Great video! Legitimately helpful. I think I live in too much of a swamp for moles (Knock wood) but if I have them I know right where to come!!

[@TheLawnGuardian]

Thank you! I hope you never get moles. They're a bunch of punks.

[@mattcooksley9167]

In the last month I've caught two moles. I use a garden hose and flush them out if I know its very recent activity. I put the water in the far end of the tunnel and poke along the tunnel observing where the water runs and what way the tunnel goes. It took maybe 5 or 10 minutes but if you listen Ive heard the mole breaking the roots of the grass when they come above ground to excape the water.

[@TheLawnGuardian]

I've tried this tactic but have not succeeded. I think it'd be fun trying to catch them this way. Thank you for the support and watching!

[@jdrobbi]

I've had some success with the mole spikes. It sends out a pulse through the ground over I think a 50 ft radius. I put 3 out and it at least pushed them out to the edge of the lawn. I may try a few more this year. Thanks for great vid, mate!

[@TheLawnGuardian]

Interesting! I've always been skeptical of those things but I may need to give those a shot if need be. Chances are it's only a matter of time before they return. Thanks for watching and the support!

[@jdrobbi]

I was too...still not 100%, but I did have a lot less mole damage this year, so...

[@pnscar3]

Didn’t work for me they take the noise when there’s good room produce like potatoes

[@garryquiggins8183]

The spike traps have worked for more than 50 years. I usually get them at yard/garage sales about $5. You must push the spikes all the way down before setting otherwise spikes don't go deep enough. When you kill one with spike trap you can verify or just pull trap up without seeing the victim.

[@terrietaylor9316]

I have found two of the spike mole traps older ones but springs are really hard to pull up. Could you please suggest something to put on the springs to make them easier for me to set the spike traps. I am a senior citizen so I know I don't have enough strength but I'm trying please help me if you can thank you

[@kove]

I like the comparison. Had my second mole of the year on Sat. Set three scissor traps and it was caught the next morning. Love it when it works out that way!

[@TheLawnGuardian]

Yeah I find catching them in traps satisfying. It's also awesome when it happens that quick.

[@donnajenkins6563]

You can break the worms in half to put in each hole and that will work instead of putting a whole worm which will save you money

[@marcusv7881]

Dang! You have some epic quads!!

[@TheLawnGuardian]

You have weird comments.

[@floridalawns509]

I had moles in my St.Aug yard it was really hard to tell though. But when they got into the Bermuda side yard it was super visible. Amdro makes these mole pellets that worked really well. Haven't had any in months!

[@TheLawnGuardian]

I've tried poison pellets before but didn't have success. Not sure what brand it was so maybe it's different than what you tried. Thank you for your support & for watching.

Yeah I've got moles in my backyard. I have not tried the poison worms but I do have the guillotine I'm gonna have to break it out and get the little suckers.

[@TheLawnGuardian]

Good luck! The hunt is real. Thank you for watching!

[@kathleenbrown6734]

how do you know it’s a primary tunnel?

[@TheLawnGuardian]

If you press down a tunnel and then it gets pushed back up you know it's an active tunnel.

[@cruzkerin3121]

if you try the hotest chillies and salsa taquera make like two gallons of that juice and pour it down the holes ,that will burn the nose and eye ,they will leave you lawn

[@TheLawnGuardian]

Thanks for the tips!

[@lorinkramer5805]

Not unless they are Mexican voles. They love the hot stuff.😆

[@robertsenecal3189]

Spring and spike only way to go i got 4 of them with spikes tried EVERYTHING spikes only thin that works

[@tommytomtom5531]

How do you know if the gummy worms work or not ?. You can't see what goes on underground.

[@kelcritcarroll]

If you water or it rains you shouldbe able to tell as they clean out there runs and also they go deeper when its dry as the worms are deeper

[@TheLawnGuardian]

Thanks for the feedback.

“Hey, Vsauce, Michael here”

[@kathleenbrown6734]

they do not like light and will not go there if it’s an,open hole. why didn’t your trap work?

[@TheLawnGuardian]

I covered the hole back up after placing the bait in the tunnel. The trap didn't work a few times because I didn't set it correctly.

[@Brettsgrasscapades]

So glad we don't really have them out here!

[@TheLawnGuardian]

Yes they suck! I'm glad you don't have to deal with them.

[@kidomniman8635]

Pretty sure those worms are bromethalin. I live in Canada, have a pesticide applicator certificate and pesticide license, and can't even get those. The secondary poisoning risk is high because bromethalin stays in the same form inside the body after it is eaten. In the states anyone can buy them and it kind of blows my mind.

[@TheLawnGuardian]

This is why PPE and keeping lawn care products like this in a locked cabinet so kids can't get to them is important.

[@kidomniman8635]

@@TheLawnGuardian it is also why I usually use bromadiolone baits for rats. Secondary poisonings can still happen but it changes form and becomes less toxic going into the food chain. Moles won't take it though so we have to trap moles up here. There is another type of mole bait called zinc phosphide you might want to check out. Also can't get it for moles up here, technically legal it have to bury it too deep for the moles to find it so functionally illegal, and it changes form to be less toxic after being eaten too. It turns into phosphine gas first to kill the mole so it is still plenty dangerous but I would try using it if local laws allowed. Be careful though. Safety first then teamwork

[@TheLawnGuardian]

I have actually tried the zinc phosphide but I wasn't having much luck with it. I prefer using the traps anyway. The more I use the traps the better I was getting at using them but fortunately I don't live in this house any more and I currently don't have any mole issues at the new house. Safety is absolutely right when working with any of these chemicals.

@@TheLawnGuardian traps do get the job done. Just takes some experience and patience. I've seen lots of people get frustrated and even got frustrated myself before I figured it out

Do you still have Moles?

I don't live at this house anymore so I have no idea if moles still exist in this lawn.

I've had more luck with the trap that I used. Getting rid of moles can be challenging. Finding active runs is one of the keys to getting rid of them.

[@mayxeelee]

The Lawn Guardian thank you I’ll try the trap 👍

Your shallow tunnels without a mound are voles. The moles go deeper and always have a mound of dirt. "Mole Hill"

[@TheLawnGuardian]

These tunnels did have mounds. These were definitely from moles. I trapped several. Thanks for watching!
