Get Rid of Moles in Garden
First, let’s clear something up. Moles aren’t evil. They’re just hungry. They’re digging for grubs and worms, not trying to ruin your weekend BBQ. But understanding them doesn’t make those dirt mounds any less annoying, right? (Spoiler: they can dig way faster than you can fill in the holes.)
Here’s the kicker: moles are basically blind, anti-social little bulldozers. They hate noise and vibrations. That gave me my first idea. I started stomping around their tunnels like a clumsy giant. Did it work? Of course not. They just dug deeper, probably laughing at me.
The “Old Wives’ Tales” Trap
I tried the chewing gum trick. Yes, you read that right. People swear that if you put gum in a mole tunnel, they’ll eat it and… get stuck? Spoiler: Moles are not rabbits. They don’t eat Wrigley’s. I found a very dry, very uneaten piece of spearmint a week later. Thanks, internet.
Then came the ultrasonic spikes. You know, those little gadgets that beep? I planted three. My dog went nuts, the neighbor’s cat moved out, but the moles? They threw a party. I think they liked the soundtrack.
