This message is from: "pattybronson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Thanks to all for the Mole/Gopher prevention ideas and humor.
If I can't rid myself of them by washing them with Dawn (think how soft their little hands would be) or dehydrate them with a severe case of diarrhea (castor oil), I'll try poisoning them with sweet little treats... and if that doesn't work I'll resort to the kitty litter (although I will have to order "used" litter from www.usedlitter.com ) I've used the occasional "litter" box for our pound kitties. I've come home after being gone overnight to find that the ol' kitty bucks about suffocates me. Usually causes gasping breaths from my 14 year old as he's headed outside to dump it. If it causes a 14 year old to turn blue think what it could do for a mole. OK let's see, if that doesn't cut it I can try trapping them, although in all my conversations with various road maintenance folks. I could not find any ODOT people interested in paying me a penny a tail not to mention the afore mentioned .75 (there goes the Mexican vacation I had plans of saving for). Although I did talk to one man whose wife apparently is vary good at turning pelts into clothing... How many tails would it take to make a coat???lol The scenario I like the best is my husband running around trying to whack them on their little heads. Now this might be a little more difficult since he fell off a ladder in December and broke his wrist.... actually he wouldn't need a bat... he could just crawl around on his hands and knees in the middle of the night with nothing on but his boxers and a cast (second thought that might be enough to scare the hell out of them). Seriously though, thanks for all the advice. I don't really mind them other than the concern of a horse stepping in the holes. They've actually invaded my arena. Again, THANKS!
