Ever since spring began a couple of weeks ago, a mole has been tearing up my garden. Last year I had a slight infestation of Japanese Beetles and as I've been digging my garden this past winter I have come across quite a few of their grubs that I beleive the mole has been feeding on. I layed down some milky spore to control those grubs for the long run and a caster oil mole repellent for the short term. But as it turned out, while the repellent did seem effective against the mole, it only seemed to work when it would get watered in by a rain, but when the soil dryed in between rains the mole would just get right back to tearing things up. So yesterday when the mole found and tore up the dirt around my blueberry bushes I decided enough was enough and I went to Lowes and bought a mole trap. I set it up as soon as I got home and this morning before I left for school I went out and checked on it and it had been tripped. That made my day. For the past two weeks I've been watching helplessly as this mole just ravaged my garden and seeing that thing tripped so quickly was a sweet feeling. Continued -->
