Is a hand-full of Bulldog poo the same as a hand-full of Doberman poo? Or does the size of the dog come into the measurement system... lol.

Good idea, at least there's a purpose for all that dog...

I live in Duynefontein. This place got its name from all the dune moles that lived here. After trying all the usual remedies I planted a "mole pole". I don't have a mole problem anymore like a lot of my neighbors. Replace the batteries once a year.

"mole pole"? Please Oomfaan, enlighten if you don't mind. Would love to read more about it

Apparently it works on ultrasonic signals it sends out into the ground that irritates them and cases them away. I got mine as a present, but I'm sure any good nursery or one of the big hardware might stock them.

build your own...2L coke bottle, dowel stick to fit the inside, drill a small hole a bit bigger than the screw on bottom of 2L, screw dowel stick to inside of bottle, cut fins into bottle, just stick it in the ground close to where the moles is, they do not like the noise

Sharkbait, did you ever get hold of molesnakes? Interested to hear if that worked.

I've heard of farmers using it.

Hi,I've got this huge invasion in my backyard, I mean total destruction. Lawn gone! Holes and hills everywhere! Jislaaikit,disasterous! Tried those mole pilletjies you throw in the tunnels but it seems them buggers are not worried about it @ all. Is there no natural predator I can get hold of like a molesnake to put down the tunnels? Surely that should work. Where can one get hold of them? Also tried soaking sand with jeyes fluid water but not much results. Any advice will be very much appreciated, many thanx.

Hi There Guys.



What Im going to tell you now might sound strange but it worked. Ihave moved to PE 3 years ago and have the same problem. My gardener came to me and said he will get ridd of them. I thought he will try to catch and kill them. NOt att all. I have bull dogs, be collected all the DOG POO he an get as he normaly do. Dry it out in the sun, so its n powder form, and put an hand full in all the holes. He then just flush it with water.

When I ask him were did he leared that, he replied ON THE FARM

3 years later still no sign of them. Maybe it was just goodluck for me, I dont know if its working or not, cost nothing to ry, just n dirty job.

Done the same thing except i added about 1 million kg of Boerboel Sh@t.....grass is green and the moles are gone prob dead the big dogs get beef afval and bless my soul thier poo stinks

15inch subwoofer, bass full, treble off! Bass Hunter cd full blast for about 5mins a day!! Moles gone, neighbours pissed off!!

Win- win situation in my eyes!!

 

[luckyG]

close up all there holes and smoke them out as a last resort or just use the other techniques

 

[Ant86]

Just had a good laugh imagining trying to blast moles away with some Tiesto hahahaha

Anyway Mole Snakes are basically 2m tubes of pure testosterone, they are used to prepare reptile keepers for handling cobras,mambas etc. They are not venomous but they WILL chew you to pieces....

 

EDIT: Keep it humane, pouring diesel over and setting them alight is barbaric to say the least..

Phostoxen works very well,you must open the hole as much as possible, then shove 2 pills down the hole, do not forget the wet newspaper on top of the pills, cover hole up

 

[BigBen]

They operate on 2 holes always

Open both ends..A little petrol...Allow the fumes to pull thru and bomb his ass..

KaBooM works everytime

not true, their tunnels can cover almost a square mile...

throw fire crackers into the holes, not sure what the outcome will be, but it will most probably be the most fun way of trying to exterminate them

Hmm reminds of the movie Caddyschack!

I have seen guys using a "slagyster" baited with sweet potatoes very effectively. Make sure the slagyster is properly secured to prevent it from being pulled into the burrow.
