Getting Rid of a Mole Infestation?

I live in Graham Washington. We have run out of ideas on how to keep the moles away. We've used the poison bait, and even bought the ever full proof, money back guaranteed black hole mole trap and haven't caught a single one. I would also like to add that the soil where I live is very very rocky. Seriously it is unlike any I've ever seen and I think that may be playing a part in why the traps aren't working. Any suggestions?

Try a marigold and daffodil barrier.

Have you tried the electronic devices? I used one once and it worked.

From Better Homes and Gardens:

Bury a 24-inch metal or hardware cloth barrier at least 1 foot below the surface and bend the bottom out at a 90-degree angle.

Because moles like moist areas, you can try improving soil drainage to discourage them.

If you can dig and find the tunnel - you'll have better luck using the baits.

Have you tried hiring a professional?

Seen this last spring & it worked on ground squirrels - so it may work on moles as well. Ex-lax --- its smells sweet so they eat it & you can imagine what happens next. The pieces of Ex-lax work on a human, so you can just guess what happens to a ground squirrel & hopefully your moles infestation.

Last spring I seen this and I used it successfully on ground squirrels. Its Ex-lax. It really worked on the ground squirrels. You can use your imagination as to what happens when a 5 oz animal eats the sweet smelling chocolate square.

Just think of what happens when an adult eats a square.
