Re: HELP--MOLES

**"Marge Talt" m*@hort.net**

You sure these are moles?  They just run tunnels that you can step on
to squash.   If you see evidence if digging, could be pocket gophers.

As long as there is a food source, you will not be able to deter them
from your garden.  You might kill a few, but others will move into
the area...this is true with any wildlife.  If the conditions suit
them, they will continue to move in.
