I have spent a fair amount of money ever the years on milky spoor. If it killed earth worms too I woulda noticed.

I would have put up with no earth worms and glowing radioactive soil a couple of times...

I'm pretty sure I don't like moles.

I hate moles! so do you put the milky spore just in your beds or all over the entire lawn? I know sounds like a dumb q but I have an acre and a half and thinking that would get kinda pricey?

Frilly I looked on Amazon and the big bag is 52.00 for 7,000 sq ft. That should cover your area.

I was told that if you get rid of the grub the moles will leave. They told me the moles were there because of the grub. I did not buy anything to get rid of them because I have a dog and do not use any of the chemicals for lawn, weed, and bug killers. I just covered the holes and kept the lawn very low I think because of the all the mowing and riding around on my tractor they left my noisy area. I love riding around on my lawn mower.

I use the tractor to get around the property moving mulch and plants all summer so every day I am on the mower. It is too much land to walk from the front to the back lugging mulch and plants.

so is the milky spore safe for dogs? I have two tiny poodles. I thought it was a type of natural product,so safe for animals? I may look into getting some of that, sounds promising, and I never would of thought to look on Amazon, that may save me some money!

I do not know if it is safe it sounds like it is safe. I always start with Amazon and search around and see if I can find it cheaper if not I buy it from Amazon.

ok everything I have read says it is safe for earthworms, dogs and also for birds who might eat the grubs, it does not affect them.

We have gophers here. The gassers that you light on fire work pretty well..have some big rocks on hand to cover exit holes. Cats also work well. I want to try a new technique with Great Stuff expanding foam...just find a good hole and unload the whole can...it will expand to fill the entire warren and break down naturally.

how does the foam kill the critter? doesn't it just dig out somewhere else?

We use Nash Choker Mole Traps here. Look them up on Amazon. They're the only ones that work in our sandy soil. The other ones that spear the mole just pop out of the ground. They're hard to set, but once you figure out out its not bad. Good luck!

I forgot to mention that there's videos on YouTube that show you how to use them...What did we do before YouTube?

I have a friend who traps them with peanut butter a mouse trap and a 5 gallon bucket. She says you must find the entrance to the burrow. Then you set the trap (bait it with p. butter) at the entrance and cover it with a turned over bucket. Said they trapped about 20 in a very short amount of time. just keep checking the trap and re setting it.

I am having trouble imagining a mouse trap having any effect on a mole whatsoever...?? Could you explain in more detail how she sets this up? Thanks.

are you talking about moles or voles? Voles are a type of mouse as I understand and they go under the ground in little runs and they eat the roots/bulbs of plants, killing them.

Trapline or victor out of sights are the two mole traps we commercial trappers use.

I bought some of these 3 years ago, couldn't figure out how to use them
