: Do you have any help for killing or keeping mole out of my yard and gardens?;...I live in north fla..Jacksonville. They they aierate they st augustine and cause slite damage. Where they really ane pest are in the flower beds. I lost a prize rose, and a beautiful hybiscus that was two color grafted because of the tunneling. A combination of clipping the roots of a young plant and the water draining off from the roots because of the tunnel. I have tried gum...mothe balls...extra pestiside for the grubs and worms they are after. Tried a sunken bucke in their path...spring loaded traps...need help!
Buf,
Most experts agree that trapping is the most effective method of killing the moles.
I am using mole med castor oil spray with good results to repel the moles from the sprayed areas. I have to spray every four weeks all year round.
I have a list of websites here if you want to learn more about the subject of moles and voles:
