HELP!!!!! I have mole hills in my newly planted rose garden. Will they destroy it? What can I do to save my?
No moles will not kill your roses they'll eat a few worms and move on. No problem, their tunnelling will help to oxygenate your soil so they'll be a net benefit.
Reply:If you have hills, you have pocket gophers. They look like chipmunks without the stripe on the back and a shorter tail. They eat roots of certain plants and grains. They dig tunnels down to 16 inches below the soil level. That's where the dirt to make hills come from.





I have gophers around my Roses and other than making an unsightly mounds of dirt, they haven't harmed the Roses.





If you want to drive them away, most garden shops sell gopher bombs. A mini highway flare that you put down the hole, light the fuse and the smoke from the bomb coats the inside of the tunnel with sulfur. The gopher moves on to less smelly digs.





The sulfur in the gopher bomb is good for plants as it kills fungus and other pathogens harmful to plants.





Moles make a raised tunnel just under the dirt. It will look like a garden hose just under the surface of the soil. Moles eat insects and worms. They won't hurt your Roses.
Reply:Go out with a shovel at the crack of dawn and very quietly watch where they are working and dig them up and kill them.


Or you might try some juicy fruit chewing gum. Roll up a stick and shove it down into their tunnel. in several places. this works for a few months, and then you have to do it a gain.


I have never had much luck with traps.
Reply:Oh my...........I'm sorry for you....moles are insatiable rodents, and they will not leave you until they have destroyed your yard or garden.....all the remedies you will read about are mostly ineffective I'm sorry to say, as I know this from my experience with them. My brother did rid his yard of them with an old fashioned approach....a hungry cat! His cat had a blast hunting these little bugers, and they mostly went away.
Reply:go to the garden supply store %26amp; get mole creket bate %26amp; it will kill the mole crekets then the moles will leave
