| Please help. There is a mole in the garden right next to the tomatoes. How do I get rid of him? I have seen something that you stick into the ground that sends off a signal that is suppose to keep them away, does anyone know if it works before I spend $20 on it. Thanks |

| Heather that was great, thanks for sharing. EG, are you serious about poison peanuts? If so, what do I do with them, put them in the area where the soil has been disturbed? |

| Lowraine - I'm dead serious....A mole creates tunnels, and uses them repeatedly. The package has a cone-shaped dispenser, and you penetrate the tunnel without collapsing it - and deposit the granules in there. You won't have your mole problem anymore....trust me. EG |

| thanks, I just remember my dads frustation then this and it made us all laugh alot, dad was going mental!! bless those moles are terrible things? we in the UK had a cat which killed moles, but wouldn't eat them, I guess they taste horrible! unlike every other critter he killed! |

| Thanks guys, I am headed to Lowes. I have a 16 year old dog who retired about 4 years ago. I have had several offers of a cat but don't want to go there. Thanks again. |
