Mole Mania!!!

Just a couple weeks ago, we started noticing ant hills randomly located throughout our yard.  We weren't too surprised considering summer is a primetime for ants.


THEN we noticed a hole within the ant hill.  Suddenly we realized we weren't dealing with ants, but MOLES!!!  Personally, I would rather observe the moles on my body than ground moles tearing up our yard...but hey, they can't make it look much worse!


Mom and Dad have battled moles in their yard for years and they're always trying to find something that works.  At one point, they had this bazooka looking thing that you stuck down the mole hole and it shot fire balls into the ground...Unfortunately, that method was not successful and I got a good laugh out of it b/c I never thought we, as "townies, would ever have to deal with them.

This afternoon, we headed to Tractor Supply for some repellant supplies...and this is what we found!




Apparently, it runs off of solar power and shakes every 30 seconds to drive the moles away.  They only had 1 in stock, so believe me, we'll be meeting the supply truck when it comes into town on Wednesday!
