Subject: Moles

I've found one mole, it might even have been a vole, in my backyard. Sam
and Ginger happened to be right there and Sam pounced and killed it. Then
he did a victory lap around the back yard with Ginger trying to steal the
mole from him. We narrowly averted a mole tug of war.

While not an advisable and practical means of mole elimination, this one
will give you all a chuckle.

Several years ago a friend in the Seattle area had terrible mole problems in
her yard. Her husband, being a "more power" kind of guy took matters into
his own hands. He backed his truck onto the lawn, took the hose from the
shop vac, taped it onto the exhaust pipe and then stuck the other end down
the nearest mole hole. He started up the truck and, well, you get the idea.
Of course, my friend looks out her kitchen window to see exhaust rising
from all the mole holes in her yard. Their neighbors talked about that one
for years. By the way, yes, the moles were eliminated.

Good luck with the mole elimination. Consider using all those excavated
areas for flower beds
