Dude, I will forever sing your praises. YOu may not have discovered it but after over 10 years of using every known trap to mankind, repellants, bombs, even firing my 12 g into the earth - I have NO MOLES. Thanks for your video on JUICY FRUIT GUM. I've spent probably $45 on Juicy Fruit but I have eliminated every mole mound in my yard and garden. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
We had such a bad mole problem new mounds in our yard every day!! I decided to give it a go I bought the big pack. Cut them in 3rds took down all the mounds, and put the gum in a bunch of the tunnels. And not one new tunnel in the last 3 weeks! Not one! I’m a believer!! Thank you for sharing this!
I work pest control and we are always having mole problems and we just recently tried juicy fruit and it actually works! Outta all the things we have used it seems the juicy fruit worked the best! Now that's all we use.
Does it work on gophers? Moles eat bugs, gophers eat my garden
I think if I was in the business of killin moles, I would tell everyone that juicy f. Is worthless and stick it down the hole when their backs are turned. Then make some stupid back th the future thing with wires and batteries and charge them for your special work ( and bring home some Salad for mama !
I had heard of juicy fruit original for killing moles. But maybe I did over kill by putting a quarter stick in several holes along the tunnel. I don't recognize a difference.
Looks like this post shows 1/2 stick in one tunnel. Is that right? How often did you do that before seeing a difference?
Battled them for years, juicy fruit worked 100% use gloves so your scent doesnt get on the gum for max effectiveness.
Can you share the brand you used?
@@Teresa-pz3sv As far as I know, there has always just been one Juicy Fruit gum.

I've used that plunger style trap for a few years and got 94 moles with it. The key is to only press the soil down a little, they will attempt to repair the tunnel and get spiked.
and to poke a hole in the tunnel the size a silver dollar, the next day check to see if the hole has been patched or filled back in if it has its an active tunnel, like you said cave in the tunnel and set your trap over the indentation.
When I was a ranch hand out in Montana we spent days putting hubba hubba in prairie dog towns, just tosave cattle from breaking legs.....gum works!
Thank you. I will try this. I am so done with these moles.
Goodness, I love this channel. From the way you interact with you son on camera to the tips and tricks you've shown, it's all great. Living on a homestead is where I aim to be in ten -fifteen years.
I am trying the JUICY FRUIT. Hope it works! You are the reason the channel is growing! You are a great teacher and example for others plus you have a GREAT sense of humor! 💕
Good morning Lambert she getting so big. You doing something right. Keep on following your right mind. Good luck. Enjoy your day
Your channel is awesome bro y’all deserve the 1.7 million views in March you been working your tail off to get it off the ground and God has seen that your labor won’t be in vain great job 100,000 subs this year guys we got this
Continued success and growth on your channel. You're ethical, hard working and most of all compassionate. "I don't mind sharing". You have moved to first place on my choice You Tube channels because of it.
Great vlog! It amazes me when a RUclips channel goes through the trouble to share something that could possibly and potentially help someone else and for free, the back lash of negativity that floods the comment section. Got to laugh at some that have "negative lives" and must share that unwanted spirit with others! Lets just keep them in our prayers, God bless.
Love you brother. So happy to see you doing so well. KEEP UP THE HARD WORK.. GOD BLESS !!!
Just because something is cheap and easy does not make it bad. Juicy fruit gum... is not my favorite gum. But if it works,that's all that counts!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I love your videos. It gives me lots of ideas for when I start my farm.
Keep on doin what you're doin Daniel! Awesome video. Very informative!
I've used it for several years and it always seems to work. Sometimes I had to go through a few repeats but eventually they died or went away. My wife says it's a wives tale but after multiple applications, the evidence points to 'it works'. Pest control people say that moles eat grubs and worms so why would they eat juicy fruit. I don't know. I'm not a mole. However, it would be a great video if someone could get a live mole and see if it would eat the juicy fruit and what happened after it did.
I just cove your channel & I’m not even a homesteader or gardener. I used to garden a little, but can’t anymore. I love your sense of humor, your interaction with your wonderful family & your Christian values. I just happened upon a homestead channel one day & got interested. I happened upon yours & is one of my favs. I want to thank you for your service as a law enforcement officer keeping us safe every day. Hugs!
Thanks for the follow up on the wicking tubs. You do a great job and really enjoy your videos.
Congrats on your Record Setting March numbers! Your channel is Awesome and inspiring!!
Next time you make a raised bed, line the bottom with hardware cloth. I’m in California and have gophers and ground squirrels everywhere. Works perfectly.
Black hole gopher traps work amazing I’m in SoCal had infestation on 10 acres quit counting around 400 made for some happy hawks and falcons. Cheers
I have a raised bed. I just stapled a wire mesh on the bottom. Hope it keeps them out!
Thanks @@cr3062 - Yes, "Hardware cloth" is that wire mesh I spoke of. My backyard is adjacent to wild land and our gopher problem was so bad that I took to making wire mesh cylinders OVERTIME I plant something in the garden.
It's the only reason we have a garden at all.
Tiz Nuss I was thinking about chicken wire under the crops. Never got a chance to try it. I graduated & had to move. I’m container gardening now.
When u set your trap, leave a small amount of daylight to access the mole hole & they will come to fill the hole & you’ll have more success with the trap - God bless Rick from Durant
I’ve seen other videos and read on line where people use Juicy Fruit but never done this until. Your video. I cut the sticks into thin (worm like) strings and put one ever foot in each tunnel. I have moles really bad, they are tearing my yard up. So far I see no damage in raised beds. Keep the great ideas coming.
So good to see Lambert. Thanks for sharing Daniel!
Have an ant problem? I use 80% sugar with 20% 20 Mule Team Borax. Place in a circle around the ant hill...Really effect for Fire Ants.
Nope. Have a mole problem.
Ty for very informative follow up vid. I truly enjoyed it.
I was told by my Dad, when laying out a raised bed, first put out plastic trash bag, then layer newspaper and then your dirt. I have even grown potatoes in used tires. Love your channel.
That Lambert is just a cute little goat! Awesome news on the growth of your channel! You totally deserve it!
Great video just getting my homestead going. Can't wait to get it going like your.
Love watching your videos. Giving me a lot of good ideas for the future. Thats was an awesome shout out for blackberry ridge. I was one of the subs.
I think March was such a big RUclips month for you because of your Goats and their cute Kids. Your birth video's were amazing too! I'm looking forward to watching all your garden videos to come!🙂
FACT! Preach brother! We had digging critters all over our yard every year. We baited them with a Juicy Fruit back in the spring and have had a nice mound free lawn for the first time ever. We only had one reoccurrence. So we just re-baited today and it’s the middle of July. We’ve spent so much money on pellets, traps and even gassed the holes. Nothing worked until we tried Juicy Fruit! One more tip. Use disposable gloves to handle the gum to keep your scent off the gum.
holy cow! that trap is serious business!! Please tell me Lambert isn't destined to be dinner..... everytime I see her/him? now I think "Laaaaaambert, the sheepish lion"
I had a bad mole problem 10 yrs ago and got a 4 month old jack russell and that dog was the best mole hunter.. lol I just had to refill the holes she dug to get to the moles.
Dachunds can too
We used to have a beagle and that's been the topic here is since our beagle was only six years old passed away batted the moles
My German Shepard is after a bunch of them. So, no walking around after dark (maybe she is setting up traps for intruders?).
Penny Mcfee omg for real?? I can’t let my little yorkies out there or they will end up chased by prey birds :(
My Odin is NOT good at catching moles!
thanks for the update and sharing your yummies! also thanks for your thankless security and safety service. Grace be with you all
You can buy the landscape fabric at Growers solutions for sure.
And maybe Boot strap farmer.!!!! Hope this helps.
Guilty as charged I’ve done a lot of binge watching of your videos lol
I have been waiting for this follow up!!-Kristy. And I tried the juicy fruit in garden, sponges in yard and wrigleys spearmint in field. Garden I can tell a difference for sure! Yard, not so much - sponges maybe not as effective. Field and spearmint gum didn’t do as much either. Juicy fruit is great I believe!!
Great video and thank you for sharing!🤗🤗
On your way to 100,000 subscribers‼️✅ Congratulations
I saw your first video on the gum. I tried it and hard to believe but I'm sure it is working. thanks for your videos.
The landscape fabric you're using can be found at Lowes/Home Depot, but they call it Contractor Barrier or Contractor Silt Fence. At Lowes, it's outside in the garden area right by all the weed fabric. You can also look for construction barrier. It's the same material. French drain can also be found at both Lowes/Home Depot.
500k of that 1.7 million was my wife and I. Love the videos.
I can say for sure that juicy fruit works. Our yard around our house is about 3 acres and it is adjoined by hundreds of acres of pasture. We have been using juicy fruit for years and it works. But don't expect to do this once and never see a mole again. I saw somewhere that moles are territorial and there will only be one per acre ... that's bull. Using traps I caught 5 in one hole in a week so that theory doesn't hold. Juicy fruit comes in these big packs of 3 at walmart for about 3 bucks. I unwrap about 8 pieces and slice them lengthwise into thin strips ... 3 strips per piece of gum. this is more the size of a worm which is what moles eat, then i go out and use a 3/4" metal rod to poke holes in the areas I see moles. Drop in a piece of juicy fruit and move on. Look for areas where tunnels intersect and do it there.. It helps if you can find a deep main run but it isn't so easy so shallow runs are ok. The shallow runs are where they are feeding anyway. This will work as the juicy fruit gets soft like a worm. So if one eats it and dies it won't be long before another one moves in... but there is still pieces of juicy fruit out there so they will eventually find it. If your property is like mine there are probably thousands of moles waiting to move in so this is a constant process but it does work and it is cheap ! best thing is if a dog or something gets a piece it won't hurt them .. much better than poison. So there you go ... load up the yard and keep a few packs on hand -- see activity -- put out some more. sorry for the long post.
Thank you!! I’m in central Florida. These buggers been tearing up my yard for a couple of years! I’m going out to buy some Juicy Fruit!! God bless you sir! Love Lambert 🐐
You make me laugh. Good video. I'm glad the gum worked for ya. My back yard looks like a moll highway by early spring. I just may try the gum. The jerky? Well that was cool. Who would have known they make it. Still looking in my suburban area for just regular goat meat. May have to have ya send me some. Thanks brother.
Fighting with the moles for a while. We’ll try with the gumm. Wait to see the results. Thanks 😉
Saw the video about the gym too, so glad you did the test. Hey, never had goat meat before I have to try it.
Goat jerky!?! That's awesome!! :)
Happy for You and the recent growth spurt on Your channel! Keep doin' what You do, we love all your videos! :)
I use juicy fruit every year, always works like a charm. My dogs keep them out of the back yard. I'm so glad I found your channel. I live in WW. Howdy neighbor.
If gum kills dogs, my little Maltese would have died a long time ago! He will steal it out of your purse or pocket given the chance! I am going to try the Juicy fruit gum, moles destroyed my entire potato crop last year! Thanks for sharing!
Thank u for your help with the tubs Daniel about the garden tubs . Watched Leon when Huston got his Jr Gardner award.
Anytime you start a video with Lambert, it's gonna be good
THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!! OMG My property last year was infested with moles, holes, tunnels, and damage. They killed two fruit trees and an established bed of strawberries. I have many other raised beds & trees full of holes as well. Today, I just noticed the little buggers are already very active out there. Ordering juicy fruit right now!!! Thanks again!!
Congrads on the Juicy Fruit. Some times old wives tales work. Glad you are using common sense along with all else.
LOVE the info on goat meat. We tried it (goat soup) in Greece and it wasn't our favorite, but not giving up. We need more recipes and ideas, like that jerky!
I'm going to try this! We have mole holes/mounds everywhere! I've been having my kids stuff pine cones down the holes (we have those everywhere too, lol) just to annoy the moles...they just make new holes, lol.
I love lambert. I had a goat many years ago and Bart the goat was the most amusing and fun animal I ever had the pleasure to share time with.
Great video like always good job buddy
1.7M views in March...hard work paying off brother 👍
You can actually buy corrugated piping like that with fabric already surrounding it. Then you 1. Don’t have to worry about creating a barrier and 2. Let the roots get right down by the water so they can utilize it all getting rid of stagnant water which can cause some issues. I plan on doing a ~ 150 sq ft raised garden using this method after we finish our yard work.
Cheers brother, will be trying this.
Its always a pleasure watching you stuff your face. Lol. Love watching
I tried the gum in my yard and IT WORKED. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH. I am just starting my own RUclips channel. I hope to get as good as you are.
I recently found you channel and you earn your self a new subscriber I’m not a farmer myself unless you count a couple herds of guinea pigs as farm animals xD but I love watching farming channel
We have moles EVERYWHERE! Definitely going to try this!
Tried the juicy fruit on the mole in-law, but she keeps coming back..
oh! somean!
Oh, so FUNNY!
Mr Robin Lessard...Dude...when I say...I like your thinking🤪🤪🤪🤪
Never mind I was impatient. I saw the link to the build at the end of the video!
Hahaha, thanks for the shout out. I have some of those tubs and they cost me $100.00 a piece. Lol You better believe i'm going to reuse them. You can get the commercial weed barrier off amazon. So how do you like the promix. If you haven't heard of Pratts greenhouse channel, he has lots of experience with the promix. Ed Pratt is a super nice and down to earth guy.He lives over by JNull0.
The promix seems to be working pretty well but it’s hard to say if it’s great just yet.
@@ArmsFamilyHomestead , i didn't say it was great, I said it was good stuff.. Lol .
Sounds like success! Good job!
I was told by an old trapper that he always used rose stalks. The ones with the big ugly spikes thorns. Because he told me, and I can’t remember if it was voles or moles, but they don’t have an immune system and when they go past the thorns and get scratched , on their skin they get an infection and die. Same story here, I figured why not, and I’ll be darned, I had my great grandmother’s bush that used to rip my blue jeans in all the runs in the yard And I got rid of a boatload of them.
Well, I have a big old rose bush that I need to cut back....
My sister and I made raised beds. We put small hole chicken wire down first so the moles and gophers couldn't get to the crops. Worked. We dug up a bit of wire and the rum was right under the wire. We are in Central California.
I planted some winter poppy flower plants with out the wire and lost all the flowers. Some pretty happy, laid back gophers that year.
Dry Ice works for moles & gophers also! My friend completely rid her garden & lawn using this method!
I love the update. No, it’s not absolutely conclusive, but the data you have is pretty cool. Thank you.
We just bought our second batch of ground goat meat. We made goat burgers the first time, now I think I’m gonna make swedish meatballs. Oh wow! I would so try goat jerky! been a jerky lover since I was a kid back in the 60’s. 👍👍
I used an old storage tub. It worked awesomly
Thank you for sharing 💗
Congrats on the awesome month! Love me some jerky and meat sticks too.
Love your videos man
Awesome job on the moles! Lol but you showed a pest that drives me out of the garden sometimes. Fire Ants! Have you ever done a video on how to deal with them effectively?
Dan at 16:37 you flipped us off! LMAO
who knew?! Great tip!
well Daniel,when i moved to the house 20 years ago, we had voles and 5 star nosed moles, all over my back yard, I bought 5 packs of Juicy fruit gum, and stuck it in their trails and with in a month they were all gone and to this day I never had any come back, so yes I do swear by the gum, HAVE A GREAT AFTERNOON
You can get that landscape fabric from Growers Solution. Just got a couple rolls ourselves for the garden
That was a great video clip you put up there and I hope you get ride off those moles out off your garden so you can grow your veggies 👍👍
Using double bubble bubble gum will work also. I use it all the time in my trapping service. ☺.
Ha man I love your videos.. honest, informative and hilarious.. I'd love to come kick it with yall and lambert and Bella 🥰
I'm going to check out that jerky 😉. Have a great day 🤗
I have heard the gum trick for years and done it and works
You are 100% right, I am pushing 50 and as a boy, my Grandfather used bubble gum for moles. He also used to grow lots and lots of peppermint around the house and barn, he said that rodents hate the smell from rabbits to mice etc... In the Fall, he used to sickle the mint and sprinkle it in the basement and root cellar. P.S. He also had a jack russell dog for rodents. Great Video
You could also put hardware mesh or small aviary wire at the bottom of the raised beds. That will keep them out.
We're a long way from you and no idea if you have caster bean plants in your region. If so we use the beans for the moles same way your using the JF, just poke a hole in there tunnel and drop in a bean (green, not the brown dried ones). Only issue is you will have the Caster bean tree growing and they are a pain, so we pull and trash them. The trap you have we use also and it works great, but best results have been when we push down the section of the tunnel under the trap trigger so they really have to push it back up to get through. Keep up all the good videos your doing a great job, and at what level do you fill the water to on the self wicking containers LOL.
Peppermint plant. Take branches n leaves n stuff them in the holes, doesn't kill them but they won't be back to the spot. After a little chasing they'll be gone till a new one moves in. You can make a tea n dump that down the hole but I had no luck without the foliage. Got that from Cisco, gardening with Cisco, Cisco, it's on his website :)
OMG !!! it works. Tried it next to the front door....gone. Tried it right off the back porch...gone. and just did it around our birdbath and cactus plants. I think I need more gum. but it works just amazing. And thank you.
I will try juicy fruit gum like you suggested to combat those moles/gopher problems for my garden. Thanks!
Commercial weed block can be bought at your local Tractor Supply and if they don't have it they will order it with days! Also old sheets work great and are dirt cheap at thrift stores.
Good luck
Whirly-gig... Old folks used to have these in their yards, all kinda shapes. Propeller on one end to catch the wind, which would cause the figure to move, also had a small flap on the back of the prop which would cause a vibration. Moles will run from vibration
They are still available as new, as well as collectable antique and modern folk artists.
That juicy fruit will sprout a gum tree.....get it.......gum tree.......wooooo tough crowd.... lol
I use silt fence for land scape. Many construction sites will give it to you after their finish using it. Works great and cheap.
Would you say after the juicy fruit experiment, "The Beats Grow On?"
