moles #875291

Asked June 29, 2024, 6:59 PM EDT

I have moles and/ or gophers in my backyard and over many yrs they have totally destroyed a nice level lawn. I am a senior and concerned about falling with all the lumpy- bumps hidden throughout the yard. Can I spray anything to get rid of the moles and gophers? I have tried gopher gasers, cups of numerous things poured in the hole. Any ideas other than traps which I do not think I can set up. Thank you for the advise,

Thank you for your question, Jeri.  This is the most comprehensive article available from OSU on controlling these nuisances:  https://extension.oregonstate.edu/news/moles-voles-gophers-dig-garden

If these measures are ineffective, you may need to engage a company that does this professionally.  Good luck!
