Blowing up Moles- Now this is backyard fun!

They're making a bigger mess than the moles!
GrubX works, but gets darned expensive if you have a larger yard. But it is dual purpose.. most of those grubs are Japanese beetle larvae, so if you have gardens, you'll get a dual benefit.
The best control is a good hunting cat. Some don't seem to hunt moles... and ours don't seem to think they are edible! They bring home mice, rats and chipmunks to eat, but we find defunct moles scattered everywhere!
We once had an older, spayed female cat dumped at our farm. She had terrible house manners (probably why they got rid of her)... couldn't keep her off the kitchen counters, etc. So we let her stay in the barn, where she had plenty of food and fresh milk, warm straw to sleep in...
She showed her gratitude by bringing home *at least* one mole a day, and leaving it on the kitchen step. I think her record was seven in one day. It was her specialty, apparently! It took her close to two years to run out of moles (we had 163 acres, and would see her hunting a half mile from the barn in the back fields), but when they got too scarce, she switched to chipmunks! We had a big problem with them eating my flower bulbs... when she was done, I ended up with over 10,000 spring flowers every spring... crocus, daffodils, hyacinths and tulips!
I could have made a fortune if I could have cloned her, selling kittens to frustrated suburbanites!
