Re: MOLE PROBLEM

Man, if I had five kids to contend with, castor beans might be at the head of my planting list.

They have tunneled under her pine trees and apparently disrupted the root

Does she have a bad mole problem? I usually ignore them, for several reasons: 1. The little carnivores are there for a reason. (She probably 
has
grubs in her lawn and they are eating them.) 2. If she eliminates them, nature abhors a vacuum, and more will move in - especially if there is 
food.
And 3. Aside from those killing devices installed in active runs, getting 
them is not easy. People who use other methods and say they worked,
usually
had their moles move on voluntarily when food got scarce.
