get a dog that was bred for this type of thing, and let it do its job … sure you will have some holes from the dog digging them up, and also some dead ones in the yard, but you will also gain an adorable dog that will do your dirty work for you.
Daschund is a suggested breed for this type of work.
Or, you could call an exterminator.
Moles will usually leave if you remove the food source as they eat their weight in food every day..if you have killed the grubs, the moles are still finding food in your yard. They eat insects and other worms than just grubs. My friend swears by the little windmillsto get rid of them(sold in garden centers and toys)If all else fails try flushing them out by putting your water hose in the opening and running water through the tunnel. Good luck
Try a Sonic Chaser. It’s a big spike with some DD batteries in it and you bury it up to it’s top. It sends out vibrations into the ground that are very irritating to moles. The batteries last all spring and summer. Your better lawn and garden centers should have them. I have also seen them in L&G catalogs but then you have shipping and handling charges.
Note: There are two types. A plastic one that says it will clear an area of 5,000 sq ft and an aluminum one that clears an area of 11,000 sq ft. The feedback from our customers is that the plastic one doesn’t work very well–vibrations must not be strong enough. They have good things to say about the metal ones. The metal one costs more but if the cheaper one is ineffective you’d be wasting your money buying it.
