My yard is 2 acres and I have a mole problem. As the ground is just
beginning to thaw, I'm getting ready to do battle. I'm thinking all out,
traps, bait, hungry dog,... But my problem is I have a lot of large spruce
trees with ground hugging limbs. The mole trails go in and out of there.
Does the mole repellant work? If so, I'd spray under the trees and get the
moles in the yard.

Also any first hand mole fighting stories would help. What works. What
doesn't  work.

I tried the battery-operated buzz-spikes, a rat terrier, and mole bait
to no avail. Sprinkling used kitty litter around and in tunnel entrances
finally worked.

come onto the market for the use against mole problems. It is said to
be a very good product.

A few wet years ago I spread a fungicide around the yard. At evening we
saw and heard several moles. They were running around like chickens with
their heads chopped off. They were noisy. I didn't know they made sounds
until then. They didn't like it one bit. I guess the rain put into their
levels of the tunnels. My daughter caught one and took it to school for
show and tell. It ate a ton of crickets and worms.
We haven't had moles in the yard in a long time.

Hello Al, the mole can be a challenge so it's best to read up on them
first.

Traps seem to be the most efficient approach, the mole man has a good
website about trying to control them.
