MOLES BE GONE
MOLE BATE STICKS
Is this what your front yard looks like?
If someone tells you that they can "TOTALLY RID" your yard of moles
permanently, then ask them for a written guarantee. It probably is not possible
to totally get rid of moles unless you treat the whole county. There will always
be moles coming back into your yard after a few months from your neighbors yards.
They migrate. So if your neighbor has them, eventually you will be re-infected
just like flies in your house if you leave the door open. You probably will never
"GET RID OF THEM". But you can control them. When you see a new mole
hill in your yard, if you immediately treat it, that will stop them again for
quite some time. If you have a very sever mole problem it may take you the whole
summer the first year to stop them. DON'T GIVE UP. Even if you have to treat them
every few days for 2 or 3 months the first time, know that once you have them
in control, then it will be easy to keep them in control. Normally a yard will
only have one or two re-introductions of a mole in one season once you get the
current population all taken care of. So be confident in knowing that it is very
possible to control them so that no one even knows that they are around (except
you).
Here are some pictures of the worst mole problem we have ever treated. It is Horse
Shoe Lake Park in Wauna, WA. These pictures are before our treatment and then
after 3 months and 6 months.
This picture is of the picnic area before we treated it. There were 50 or 60
mole hills there in that area of the park.
Here is that same area of the park 6 months later after treatment with "MOLE
BATE STICKS"
If you look close in this picture above, you can still see the scars in the lawn
from the old mole hills. It takes all summer for the grass to grow back if you
left the mole hill there long enough for the dirt to kill the grass.
Here is the main part of the park before our treatment. There were probably about
200 mole hills there in the main part of the park when we started. The moles were
all over the park.
Some of the hills were about as big as
a half of a basket ball
Here is that same hill 3 months later (you can see there were 2 or 3 new mole hills)
And here is that hill in the park after 6 months (there have been no moles in
this area of the park now for 3 months)
After six months of treatments, we are finding about 3 or 4 new mole hills in
the whole park each month. Eventually that will drop down to 3 or 4 a season.
They will always come back, but with just treating the new holes as soon as you
see them, you can easy control them. Just have to do it as soon as you see them
come back or they will multiply and within 2 months you will be starting all over
again.
Originally Moles Be Gone sold a product called "MOLE
BATE STICKS". However, because of the expense involved in manufacturing
them, we have discontinued making "MOLE BATE STICKS".
Now every one is upset because they want to reorder because "MOLE
BATE STICKS" worked so well. (If you doubt that, look at the
counter at the bottom of this page). We have had many people ask if we would give
them the secret formula. We are not willing to do that but to keep peace in the
world we have devised a method you can use that is very similar to using "MOLE
BATE STICKS" by teaching you to make your own mole bate. This
home remedy mole bate formula works quite well and you will be satisfied with
the results if you are persistent in taking care of the moles every time they
come back into your yard.
If you will take a little time to make your own mole bate, you will then have
no need for mole traps (who could stand to use those things anyway???). No more
putting the garden hose in the holes to try to drown them. No more trying to
hook the car exhaust up to gas them. No more antifreeze. NO MORE POISONS
that could harm your pets or children. Don't even need to by expensive mole
bate from the store. Some of those things work but why bother. You can make
your own mole bate. The home made bate is easy to make and is perfectly safe
(except for the moles of course). All you need to do is put the mole bate in
the mole hole or in their burrows and in a few days there will be no more moles
in your yard and you will normally not see any more again in your yard for several
months.
You do not need to have those ugly dirt mounds all over your lawn or garden
any more for neighbors to talk about. You don't need to have those mole holes
running around your garden to siphon water off to waste when you water your
flowers. All that can be past history now. It can be something you will talk
about with friends when you talk about the "OLDEN DAYS".
Don't let moles stand between you and a beautiful yard. Here is how you can
have new hope for a beautiful mole free yard and garden again with a little
do it yourself project.
Here then is a very easy way to get rid of moles yourself. The main ingredient
in "MOLE BATE STICKS" was a gum base. But
you should not try to make your own gum at home. That requires very high temperatures.
If you tried to use ordinary pots and pans to make it, they would most likely
scorch and be ruined. Something that will work almost as well for you in your
home remedy, is just regular chewing gum from the store. It will work just fine
to make your own home remedy mole bate. Juicy Fruit gum is the flavor of gum
you need to buy. The brand does not seem to matter but DO NOT try to use a different
flavor of gum. Because you are not using a natural gum base with no flavoring,
you need to use a flavor that moles will eat. We have found that moles don't
like the smell of any other flavor of gum.
When you touch the chewing gum be sure to wear rubber gloves so the human sent
is not on the gum. When you take the gum out of the wrapper, you can just use
the paper wrapper to touch the gum as you put it in the mole hole if you don't
want to wear rubber gloves. Buy enough gum sticks to put one in every mound
in your yard. (See instructions below on how to put the bate into the hole.)
Now here is the a little secret to help you make your home remedy mole bate
mole treatment more effective. Find an empty milk carton and cut the side out
of it. Then open the chewing gum and put the chewing gum sticks into the milk
carton. Then catch a few earth worms or night crawlers and put into the milk
carton with the chewing gum
Now shake it all around until all the chewing sticks are covered with a coating
of worm substance. (Notice I have even molded the worm slime into the mole bate
stick. That is why the ones in this picture are oblong and not just a flat piece
of gum. But you don't have to do that. It just works better for stubborn moles.)
This way, when you put the chewing gum in the mole holes it will cause the moles
to be more anxious to eat the bate. Worms are one of their main foods. Putting
this coating on the gum will be very effective in getting the moles to eat the
gum. It is the gum that kills the moles. When they eat it, it clogs up their
insides and they die.
Now you have made your home remedy "MOLE BATE STICKS"
just follow these 5 easy steps and your mole problem will be in control. Lots
of people have laughed at this method, especially professional abetment exterminators.
Why wouldn't they laugh when you tell them it is free and you don't need their
service any more. If you have a doubting friend just ask them to look at the
pictures above as proof it works (or come back in 3 months and look at your
mole free yard) that did not cost you more than a couple of bucks for the bate.
Using your home made "MOLE
BATE STICKS" to rid your
yard and garden of moles in 5 easy steps:
Step 1: Locate a mound of dirt that the mole has thrown up
along its tunnel
Step 2: Use a garden tool to uncover the mole hole so the tunnel
is exposed. Open and place a stick of gum well inside the tunnel entrance so
when you cover the hole with dirt again the gum will be inside the tunnel. (NOTE:
Be careful not to touch the dirt or the gum with your bare fingers or the mole
will smell your scent and may hesitate to eat the bate. Moles don't like people
scent on their food!)
Step 3: Use the garden tool to smooth over the mole hill dirt
again so you don't touch the dirt with your bare hands. You do not need to worry
about not getting dirt on the chewing gum. As long as you put it inside the
tunnel, the mole will find it. Moles love the gum and worm scent and will find
it as they try to clear the dirt from the tunnel again.
Step 4: Now follow that same procedure on several of the mole
hills around the yard. It is best to put a stick of chewing gum in every mole
hill you can find in your yard. If the hill is really big, you may want to put
more than one stick of gum in each mound. After you put the gum in the mound,
it is best to smooth over mole hill so you can see if any new ones pop up. It
may take 2 or 3 days for all of the moles in the tunnels to find some of the
bate. For a couple of days, continue to just smooth over any new hills that
pop up with you foot. When there are no more new mole hills popping up, you
will know that all of the moles are gone.
Step 5: Properly dispose of the milk carton and gum packaging.
THAT IS IT: It is that easy.
NEW TREATMENT: Mole abatement may be necessary again from time
to time because moles will burrow in from your neighbors yard. After a few months,
if you see new mounds pop up, just place a stick of your home remedy mole treatment
gum inside the tunnel and that will be the end of the new mole invasion. If
your neighbors will treat their yards too, then you won't see any more moles
in your yard at all. Because they may not, you most likely will need to repeat
this treatment at least once each season.
A TOOL THAT IS HELPFUL:
We have found that it is much easier to put the chewing gum into the mole hole
with a small garden tool that has a handle about one foot long and about as
big around as your index finger
Any tool with a long narrow handel like this will work. You can even use a round
dowel. To use this tool, when you find a mole hill
Just poke the handel around in the mound until you find the hole under the dirt
mound. You will know when you have found the hole, because the tool will slip
easily into the tunnel.
The tool handel may go down into the ground the full length of the tool handel.
That is a good sign you are in the tunnel.
Then place the stick of chewing gum in the hole you have made.
Now using the tool handle, push the chewing gum stick all the way into the hole.
You can now use the other end of the tool to move the dirt off the mound so
it will cover up the hole and be spread around so it will not kill the grass.
When you are done there should be no dirt covering the grass.
How could it be easier than that? Just do that for every mole hill you find
and you will have them in control for several months. If they come back next
year (and they will) just put a gum stick in the hole as soon as you see it
and they will be gone for another season. You will never be rid of them if your
neighbors have them. But you can effectively keep them out of your yard by just
putting a gum stick in an new hole you see. I get about 2 new mounds a year
in my yard. 10 minutes and a 99 cent pack of gum and I am done for the year.
Good luck to you, and I hope this information helps you. No one deserves to have moles in their yard. NO ONE!!!
