Help Moles!!

[SmokeTUFF]

i keep floloding these moles or mole around my garden but the keep coming back every night. today i found my clone completely knocked over and i think he is trying to make the plot his home.

when i feed my plants all the nutrients just wash right past my plants and into the mole hole..

what should i do? trap? poison (will this hurt my plants?) idk what route to take. i dont want to kill them but i will if necessary

moles are A-holes

thanks

yes, those will get rid of some of the moles food sources, if the moles can't find food they will go elsewhere

Moles love earthworms also, not just grubs. The moles follow the earthworms and the earthworms follow the moisture level in soil. So if your ground is wet, the moles will be at ground level. Try keeping your watering to just the base of the plant.

Moles eat grubs and such, voles eat plant roots. I think it's important to properly identify your pest before taking action, no?

Keep an eye open for a bull or a gopher snake when out and about. Same snake differant name depending on region.

Not a killer snake with fangs. It will eat rattle snakes if they are around. They are constrictors eat moles, gophers, shrews, mice, rats. If can get a few relocated around the area of your plants when see a fresh tunnel just poke your finger into it so the snake can get in.

They have ultrasonic mole things you stick in the ground. Might work, I'm a fan of killing vs running off. Once an animal finds a food/living source, it's hard to rid unless killed off.

Drop some m80s in the hold and boooooom.

i saw this youtube video of people pumping gas into hole with and ignition source and blowing them up. id try it but i dont want to hurt my plants too much.

This is totally reminding me of a guy I call Frank the Red (he's very red, from his hair to his skin to his affiliations, all shades of RED). He had a gopher problem. Got himself one of those 'gas 'em out' things. Filled 5 acres' worth of gopher holes with double the recommended amount.

It. Went. BOOM!

Apparently, Frank the Red literally blew up his whole property, from about a foot down on to the surface. I hear it was quite the explosion. And Frank turned even REDDER.

 

[SmokeTUFF]

That would have been quite awesome to see

So you think it's all right to kill an innocent animal over a plant?

We should be living in harmony with nature.

An animal is worth more than a plant, an animal feels pain, thinks, feels joy.

A plant does not think or feel, it is not much different from sand.

The moles were attracted to where you had your plants because you dug up the soil and made it loose.

You could have dug up an area of soil near your plants for them to make an alternative home.

What has happened now is I have put a curse on your plant, and now it's going to die.
