Naw, Donna, that's an old wives tale.  Moles are carnivores and not
in the least interested in bubble gum.  They will simply ignore it;
waste of perfectly good bubble gum:-)

Glad you're home safe and sound...hope you get a bit of time to
recuperate from your vacation.

Bonnie, there must be a nice population of grubs or earthworms or
some other insect in your lawn to attract moles.  They are so
beneficial - and such cute little critters - it's a shame to try to
kill or discourage them although I can certainly understand your
concern for your mom's safety.

Can you go on a tunnel stomping binge before she goes outside or are
these tunnels located in one area she could avoid until the moles
move on- which they will once they've munched everything they can
find in one area.
