The Mole Killer

Most days when I come home from work I take a walk around the yard. Friday when I was making my usual round I noticed one of the mole traps looked to be sprung but I wasn’t sure so I didn’t say anything to Jim when I went inside to change. After we ate, we both went outside and when he saw the trap he said it had been sprung but since there’s been other ones sprung in the past, he didn’t get his hopes up. He stabbed the trap in the ground a little then pulled it out and lo & behold we scored ourselves a mole! Hallelujah!!!! It was about 6 inches long and Jim threw it down the bluff in the woods. He questioned whether there were more and I told him I didn't think so because I learned in the Mole Hunter seminar & DVD that they are territorial and don't share their runs with others. They even kick their babies out after a few weeks to go find their own yards to ruin. So I think we've finally gotten rid of the mole. The only problem is that I also learned that other moles will take over abandoned runs....
