The old timey way for snails and slugs....leave them a jar cap full of beer.
Moles eat insect larvae in the ground
Although similar in appearance to mice, moles are classified as
insectivores, and are more closely related to shrews and bats than to
rodents. They eat meat, primarily in the form of insects, spiders, and
earthworms. In this aspect of their lives they could be considered
beneficial to gardeners, since they destroy a number of important soil
insect pests.
Control
*Cats and dogs: Can be very successful but entirely depends on the nature
of the pet. Some cats and some dogs are great molers, others could care
less. [Them digging can be as destructive as the moles digging.]
*The Pet Inevitability Phenomenon: Have the kids name the mole, fall in
love with the mole, and within a short time the mole will run into the road
and get hit by a car. This seems statistically to work as well as any
other. :-)

Can anyone tell me if they have any non-toxic ways of getting rid of both
of these garden pests! My girl friend has cats they like to lay any where,
and every where. And I don't like the idea of poison in my food from
residues that might up-take into, or get on our veggies. Thanks for any
idea's that might help with these two problems we are dealing with!
