Question
I think I have moles in my backyard.  There has been tunnels or paths of earth torn up all over my yard.  I can't find big holes but if you look out a window from upstairs there are just sprawling trails all over.  I've set some mouse traps with peanut butter but nothing.  My lawn is distroyed and I need help.  What do I do??

Thank you

Answer
Your description is unclear to me so I can't be specific as to what animal is causing your problem. In other words, your problem may not even be moles. By the way, moles don't eat plants so don't bother with peanut butter. Voles do. but not Moles.

So the first thing I need you to do is to visit http://icwdm.org/Inspection/Default.asp   and CAREFULLY follow the directions. Answer the questions appropriately will lead you to various pages to help narrow down what exactly the problem is. There is also helps there on how to control the problem. If you can't positively ID the problem by the helps there, then you will certainly be able to help me by describing the damage in more specific ways.

Then ask again, I can be more help.
