Locate the cave entrances. Place a pre-cut patch of grass beside each entrance.

Light up the vaporizer. Place the canister as deep in the cave as possible without having to throw it in. You can use the shovel tip to push the box deeper.

Place the cut grass into the hole. Squeeze grass into the ground to seal the hole. Wait about five minutes, and see if the other caves are leaking smoke. If so, you need to use a patch of grass to cover it. Repeat this process until all entrances have been sealed. advertisement

Method 3 of 4: Kill moles without smoking

1. 

   Shoot dead moles. This approach is usually only chosen when you live in a secluded place, and you are a good gunman. A mole that gets hit but is not dead yet can become more dangerous and aggressive, and can cause real harm to children and pets if it escapes. As such, this is not the recommended way to deal with moles. advertisement

Method 4 of 4: Prevent moles from taking over

1. 

   
   
   Build a fence around your garden. Although the shape does not resemble the Squirrel family, it is surprising that the mole is a good climber. To prevent moles more effectively, you should erect a wire mesh fence with holes no larger than 7.5 cm wide. The fence should be 1 - 1.2 m from the ground and at least 0.6 m deep below the ground, the top of the fence should be bent to make it difficult to climb. If possible, create an L-shape below the ground for the maximum effect.

2. 

   Sprinkle Epsom salt on your garden plants. The salt will make the plant less attractive to moles. However, the rain will wash off the salt, so you need to sprinkle it again.

3. 

   
   
   Get rid of them. If the moles think your yard is often frequented by predators, they will rarely make shelter there. If you own a cat, sprinkle some of the sanitary sand the cat has used around the garden. If you don't have a cat, use a rag soaked in ammonia solution for the same effect (moles will mistake the smell of ammonia solution and urine). Ammonia can damage your lawn, so you should consider placing rags on rocks or pieces of wood. You can also buy chemical pesticides for this purpose, although there are controversy over the effectiveness of this method. advertisement
