I think there were a couple of guys using a propane injector recently that
sounded really cool. You inject propane mixed with oxygen into the tunnel and
ignite it. The subsequent shockwave / flame wall apparently wipes the varmits
out.

Unfortunately, if you aren't really careful, the collateral damage can be a
problem.

Can't you call them "rat traps" or "alien invader detection system"?

Calcium Carbide is an anti-molant. Throw some pebbles down the mole-hole.
Add water. This forms acetylene gas.

Wait.

Throw match down the mole-hole.

Instant Holy Moleys.

Mole traps are banned!? Now just WHO is enforcing this in your backyard?

that's almost the most rediculous thing i've ever heard.


But as far as the moles are concerned, get rid of the grub worms and the
moles will move on. Treat the lawn for grubs.
