I caught 32 in 3 days with mouse traps with crunchy peanut butter as bait. They had ate all the bulbs in my flower beds and then some. Now at first signs I set traps and I also put something down under my bird feeders in winter to help control numbers. Those little buggers can do a lot of damage that goes unnoticed
I have little holes in the ground without any dirt mounds, and no runs connecting to them. This is on a kind of barren clay strip of land. Weeds, not grass. I put out snap traps around the holes and covered them with plastic bins and salad bowls. They licked the bait clean off and never snapped the traps. :(
I always thought I had voles instead of moles because there were so many entrance holes. But the runs are mounds. So how do I know which critter I have?
Whats the name of the trap you use and where can i find it

thank you
what do you do with them after you've caught them?
Install a Barn Owl nest box.

Same here. I placed peanut butter on mouse traps, placed bucket over it and the only thing it attracted was ants. Live in high desert.

Pocket gophers make a dirt mound run. Not hard to catch
Will rat poison kill them
There is a product called voleX, supposedly only kills rodents. 👍🙂
