Last week, the tell tail sign that moles were coming to visit appeared in our front yard, a bee -line, if you will, from our neighbor's yard.
Gary was incensed. What did we do to deserve this. Jennifer and I tried to convince him that this was a good thing, that moles only show up when there is something to eat, like worms.
But he wanted them gone, so he poured water down the holes. Didn't work. More mounds of dirt showed up the next day. Then he drove the truck over the mounds (I surmised this when I came home to wheel tracks all over the front yard. Didn't work. Now there are twice as many.
I think the moles are laughing. Now as I pointed out in an earlier post. Male predator urine. Should do the trick.
Yet our daughter is horrified by the thought of G. piddling in the front yard. Doing his business in a cup and pouring it down the holes doesn't go over too well either.
Of course, Gary could make peace with the moles, as this guy has. And for those of you that haven't found this site yet, check out the daily mammal. Here's a post on moles.
