A moley problem - November 8th, 2006 at 04:03 AM
Okay, I've tried my best to be understanding and patient, but I've had it, this cotton-pickin' mole has got to go!! It digs up all my flowerbeds, gardens, and my entire yard. I'm constantly twisting ankles in hidden-depressions or tunnels that suddenly sink in. (Not to mention walking outside after a recent rain and finding myself ankle-deep in mud.) I can't even get my grass/weeds to grow because the mole is constantly digging through the roots. The mole dug up 2 well established tomato plants, tore through their roots, and kill them along with 2 pepper plants, a pumpkin, and my watermelons. It continually digs under my veggie garden causing seeds to wash down into collapsed tunnels (our soil is extremely sandy). The latest incident involves the addition of close to 50 new mole-mounds in the past 48 hours to my yard. What do I do to get this nasty creature out of my life?? (My neighbor sets these very sharp traps for the moles but I've got wee-children that I wouldn't want to be trapped.)
Please, help me! I'm going to go crazy otherwise!
