i need advice here....

 I have a mole in my yard. At first he wasn't that bad, but now that little booger has over stepped his bounds. I noticed yesterday he is now in my favorite  flower bed. I have googled ways to get rid of him, and all I can find is some item you bury and when he starts to walk thru it,  it stabs him to death, or repellants that are possibly harmful to other animals, and I have dogs. 

Can you please tell me anything that will chase him away?? I hate to kill anything so if I can just make him leave on his own I will feel better. I am starting to feel like the guy from Caddy Shack with that ground hog.

okay rosebud I have a hit for you and you guys may think I am crazy but It works for me ...

jalapeƱo peppers... just cut them up and stick them down in the mounds of dirt they have tunneled through..

I will try it, Thanks

My sister uses those windmill things. You know, looks like a flower and spins when the wind blows. Evidently the vibration from those things will scare/disturb moles. I hate to kill things too, but a band of them ate ALL of my sister's irises. Something like 30 dollars' worth. It would be WAR at my house after that.

They like to eat grubs, if it is a mole. So you can spread out something in the yard to kill the grub worms and they'll leave.

If it is a vole I'm not sure without killing them because they like to eat the roots off your plants.

I have problems with them both{:o(

I used battery operated devices that go into the ground and vibrate every 2 mins. They worked for me. You can buy them at Lowe's or Home Depot or on line.

Interesting Rose...

Dad would always take a piece of wood know as 'lighted' and put in the pest's tunnel. Most people call the wood kindling but it is used for starting a fire and is aged..

I have iris, glads, lillies and several other bulb flowers in that bed. I know he's eatting them. I know I looked like a crazy woman to my neighbors yesterday... I saw the trail and got on my knees beating the ground and screaming at him..."leave my bulbs alone!!!"

the peppers don't kill them but.... it will sure make them head in another direction.

a little old lady at Lowes told me that if you tend to have grub worms that you will have a mole problem... get rid of the grubs get rid of the moles.

yea Bla .... we call that lighter knot around here...

I have these jokers in my yard too!
