    All that aside, I'd love to have that guys job. You travel to various restaurants and eat their best stuff? Right off the grill??? Sign me up!



    As for the Mole issue -

    I had moles once. I thought I would try flooding them out - there were only 2-3 holes in my yard. I stuck a hose in each, turned them on all the way, and stood around for 30 minutes while I pumped water into the ground. Nothing happened. Another 30 minutes and more of the same.

    I don't know where all of the water was going, but it wasn't filling anything - unless the moles had a large indoor pool and the moles had suckered me.

    A few days later I got some poisoned grain from a feed store and stuck it in a couple of the holes - and the moles were gone forever.

      After 7 years in this house trying everything else, I may or may not have gone to Wyoming. I may or may not have buried firework artillery shells in gopher tunnels. I definitely have not seen any sign of the vermin since any treatment that may have been applied to the affected tunnels. Just call me Carl Spackler, but it appears the vermin may not have survived as in the movie.

        Well that may not be the real thing, but I do approve of your methods!

          That is something you may or may not want to take a video the next time you do it and post. And if those firecrackers don't do the trick I suggest using 164 lbs of tannerite...

            I've seen too many videos get people in trouble, Goblin Valley anyone, to ever take a video of anything I do that may not be entirely approved by legislative bodies.

              Any suggestions for getting rid of them? Researching my options, it looks like I can do poison (looks most promising) or traps. The traps don't look like they'd work very well, especially with the size of the infestation I've got.
              Well?

                  Some moles showed up at a rental house I was trying to sell. I considered traps, but there were a few reasons that didn't seem like the best option:

                  - I'd have to go check the traps repeatedly
                  - The traps would be visible to anyone viewing the house
                  - I'd have to dispose of any captured critters.

                  So I went with the poison instead. Worked like a charm.

                      I bought a bigger one years ago and it finally got rid of the gophers. I recently found the thing buried in my lawn. Can't remember if I pried the thing out of there yet or not.
