[QUOTE="shorthairman, post: 296474, member: 6223"] I know I am late to this thread, but in post 26 Yoby said he can't walk through his yard without compressing the runs...I know you guys said you do not have moles in ND, but that sounds like a mole to me. I have moles and pocket gophers around my place. Pocket gophers make the dirt mounds, and moles make tunnels/runs, along the surface of your yard and when you walk on them they compress. The trap in post 7 is a mole trap. You compress the run back to level with your yard and then set the trap over the spot where you compressed it. When the mole comes back down the tunnel it will push the dirt back up, spring the trap, and the spikes will hopefully get the sucker. Skunks and raccoons will dig all over in your yard to get grubs, but if you say you are walking and compressing runs/tunnels it sounds like a mole. They will eat grubs also. I usually put a couple different types of poison in mole runs, and I use the scissor type traps to get gophers. Using your mower to gas moles probably would not work since their runs are so close to the surface of the lawn and I am sure the gas would escape. [/QUOTE]
