The sonic spikes are useless. The chems to spray on the lawn to make the food taste bad are useless. I'm gonna have to go with the poison and/or the trap.

I have tried many of those items and they do not work but the sonic spikes make noise, so when you walk out they have a hard time hearing you walk and may still continue to burrow. The most productive is I usually press down the tunnels, wet them with a garden hose and press them down harder while wet. That will compress the tunnel, so when they move again, you can see the activity very easy with the soil breaking at the top. I pick a day and go out every half to an hour, when I see activity, I stop and look for signs of movement. If I see some, I will dig down quickly and toss the dirt aside looking for them. If they are patient and I don't see any movement for awhile in the fresh tunnel, I will place the garden hose into the tunnel and when they start to drown, they will come up. That's when I grab them. I literally have killed 5 moles in my yard over the past 11 days. There is one who is very patient and is driving me nuts currently but he will make a mistake soon.

@@Sctn187 Update: Five days ago after being out of town for a week, came back, found another burrow. I got him on Sunday. The very next morning found another burrow and got him Monday late afternoon. I am actually up to a total of 12 for the season. It's almost become an obsession but my yard is actually filling back in where they have spent years plowing up. Saw another burrow this morning on the edge of my property. Will be keeping an eye on that one for sure. Don't want him getting into the network of existing tunnels under my yard.

Been killing moles for 40 years, and the scissor traps are by far the best traps. To sucessfully get rid of these things you must act immediately after seeing the initial run. If you do this you will almost always have the mole within 12 hours. If not caught within 24 hours it probably is not an active run and you need to move the trap. Once moles are established and breeding they are very difficult to get rid of. The traps I like best are the Easy mole traps sold by Tractor Supply.

I have both the scissor trap and the spike one and I have caught three with the scissors and zero with the spike. The spike is not recommended

For the first time in 33 Summers here at my place, I've got a mole/vole issue! Wow, so destructive they're! I've been following the runs & using a long double-spiked rod, hoping I'll get this critter. Also, been using a flat hoe to collapse the tunnels and try to get these critters myself. I did flood the tunnels with water the first day I noticed this new issue, which actually seemed to work for a few days. But they/he/she/it is back and really damaging my yard plus I'm sure, eating my Tulip bulbs! So I will try the Casor oil thing and smoke bombs this weekend. Will try to report back. (The 3rd thing I may try if they're not too expensive is the scissors spike/trap.)

Gopher gassers really work well on moles if you know how to use them.
