Yes, Sis.... I guess I am a wuss....... [ It was also a little about retiring and wanting to get out in the country, the hustle/bustle, with some elbow room.... but those little ^$#^%$#^ creatures kicked my butt..!!!! I have nightmares about them tunneling X amount of feet each day heading for my new property... to show up someday circling my yard... It's only 200 miles, and I know they are coming.... :) ]
:laughing::laughing::laughing:
Maybe you can circle your Mahindras when they get there.:confused3:
hugs, Brandi

My dad used to dig out a gopher/mole hill, add a tbsp of carbide and a glass of water, then cover the hole as quickly as possible. After the carbide fizzed for 30 seconds he would toss a match and the resulting explosion seemed to take care of the rodents.

Acetylene is explosive from 5% in air to 95% in air, so the mix is not critical.

Propane should work also as it is heavier than air.

I forgot to mention that my current strategy is mole plants (caper spurge) scattered around the perimeter of the yard. Around here they bear seed heavily and re-seed themselves, so there is no expense once you have the first plant. Burrowing animals won't go near the plant.

.... but if we are talking moles... I've killed well over 300 on one acre... in just a tad over 6 years. There's a few threads on it floating around on TBN.

Summary...

Victor Out O Sight Mole Traps works best for me.

Less than $10 most places. I've got 6 of them.
