Do you have a problem with moles making tunnels?

Wind Tunnels. Sink a line of glass bottles into the ground with an inch of the neck sticking out. When the wind blows across the top of the bottles it makes a whistling sound. The sound bothers the moles sensitive hearing.

Moles also do not like vibrating ground. Place little windmills around the yard. The vibrations drive them away.

Ronda, I've tried them all, to no particular success. I've learned to live and let live. After all, the moles were here first. My gardens are about an acre and a half, including a large pond (60' by 110') and a 6000 square foot vegetable garden. The moles are carnivorous and consume, primarily, worms. A worse problem is voles. They like to eat bulbs and root crops.

David,

Thanks for the comment. We have a mole making tunnels all over are yard and around the house. The tunnels are driving me crazy.

Debi,

I heard of the human hair one, but I didn't want to go to the salons and ask for it. I hadn't heard about the Juicy Fruit or dog maure. We have two dogs I should try that. Thanks for the comment.
