The moles moved in late this afternoon just found them now while cutting the front lawn. Could some one explain indetail the bubble gum trick when I do it they just cover it up with more dirt.Thanks in advance. P.S. I should of paid closer attention when my dad did it he could trap them real good all I remember is digging a big hole and then putting in the wooden gopher trap and did good.

Remember that moles are looking for bugs, in particular, grubs. Treat your lawn for grub worms and that will help a lot.

Gophers, on the other hand, are vegetarians and they like to eat plant roots. We have a few mole tunnels popping up every now and then. Gophers make a mess when they pop up with a mound in my lawn. When I see a fresh one, I stick my hand down in the fresh hill and open up the tunnel they just filled. Then I wait. In about five minutes they will reappear and begin to fill the tunnel again. I'm nearby waiting with a double barrel 16 guage shotgun. That makes a real mess of the gopher. I just cram it back down in its hole and bury it.

I'm just proud to know that someone still has a 16 ga. shotgun.

My cousin got my grandaddy's 16 ga Stevens when he died in 1967, but that was after I had got my first rabbit with it (at 10 years old).

I now have a 410 Stevens that is the exact same gun except for the gauge.

It will remove the head from a rattle snake quickly at 2:30 AM, that has taken over the chocolate lab's house.

I guess I left out that both were/are double barrels.

Don't be too surprised to see more hawks and owls, there is a natural progression in the 'mole' expansion.

Me too. I have not seen a mole hill in eight years but all of a sudden, this year they are EVERYWHERE! The wife's cats have gotten a couple, but there must be at least 20 of the varmints chewing up our yard.

I wonder if some of those left over fireworks.....
