I have been thinking about that. Why no moles in Ireland ?Maybe I should put a stack of travel brochures in the mole holes, spread the word, vacation to lush and green exotic Ireland!Loads of privacy for moles....they can dig and tunnel to their hearts' content and never meet another mole. No competition for the worms and bugs!<BR/><BR/>Actually, I want to know how Ireland has managed to escape moles, what's her secret ?KathyB.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13076933273610590290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099877799576584609.post-10277382647832998872009-01-13T12:22:00.000-08:002009-01-13T12:22:00.000-08:00Lanny,right on !

The moles, ants, yellow jackets and weeds and rust, not to mention around here, the mildew.....we strive with the world. Mole skin hats ?<BR/><BR/>LindaSue, they really aren't a joke. Moles are very destructive. They are good at aerating the soil, but so are the worms they consume by the thousands!Yes, CaddyShack was very funny, and I think sometimes that using explosives would be great, but we might end up underground with the moles if we do that. We don't have fire ants, but when the weather warms up we deal with an invasion of little black ants , every year. <BR/><BR/>Mildred, do the 'mole chasers' work ? Might look into them. Way to go though, scare the painter and who knows who else. Hopefully the moles are scared and stay away too.<BR/><BR/>Shiloh Prairie Farm, we have cats. Miss Marple is a great hunter,but she doesn't catch moles. Lanny (comment above ) has a lot of farm cats and I think they catch moles, but Lanny and her family still have at least as many mole mountains as we do, so I think there are just too many healthy moles around here. Wish that would work!<BR/><BR/>Amy, maybe I need kittens from yours and Shiloh Prairie Farms' cats! I could love that solution.<BR/><BR/>Megan, we do have a lot of rabbits here too.The wild rabbits leave all sorts of evidence of their presence behind ( pun intended ) but I think lately the coyotes have dealt with the bunny population explosion. The coyotes are not one bit helpful with the mole problem,they just eat my ducks and chickens and run.KathyB.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13076933273610590290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099877799576584609.post-76463076470070913442009-01-13T12:06:00.000-08:002009-01-13T12:06:00.000-08:00I have a couple of mole friends who just got marri...I have a couple of mole friends who just got married and are looking for a place to honeymoon ...

Granted it is no fun to find the gruesome little "mole presents" our cats leave on our front porch, but they have really cut down the mole population here. I don't know if they dig them up or what but they can catch them. Does your husband like cats?

We invested in "mole chasers" (battery operated noise makers that you bury in the ground beside prized plants) that at least saved some sentimental plants. Funny though, the guy here spraying the outside of the home for bugs heard the noise and thought it was a snake making that noise!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099877799576584609.post-62785026520946785642009-01-13T04:11:00.000-08:002009-01-13T04:11:00.000-08:00My DH lived in the Seattle area for several years ...My DH lived in the Seattle area for several years and said the mole invasions were no laughing matter - they could decimate plantings and collapse yard areas seemingly overnight. I think moles are one of those creatures written into children's books because the authors haven't dealt with that particular creature. I know everything has it's place in God's creation - I do wonder about fire ants and obviously moles are a challenging concept too.

They are cute.... kinda. But then so are fox and mountain lions, and little bear cubs and their mommies, and even a little lone coyote out on the reservation looking all worried about the traffic. All cute and furry and ripe for children's books. Unless of course you would like to get your food and flowers from your own place rather than the supermarket!Lannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16018584509455303394noreply@blogger.com
