I heard a noise and thought it was a mouse pulling cheese into a hole in the baseboard in my bedroom. I set a mouse trap and within minutes heard the snap. When I went to get it it was not a mouse it was a mole. How do I get rid of moles and what are the chances there are more? I have small children so I do not realy like the snap trap thing and cannot really afford a lot. Any suggestions?
I've never heard of a mole wandering indoors. Their primary mode of transportation is through tunnels called "runways" under the earth. I suppose it is possible that the little thing decided to come indoors to find food, but I imagine this kind of behavior is quite rare. You don't read a lot of stories about mole infestations in houses, you know?
My guess? Your mole problem is over with. However, you may have a mole infestation in your yard, and if you need to control moles in your yard I would refer you to this article: http://www.getridofthings.com/get-rid-of-moles.htm
It may be a Northern short tailed shrew. We caught one today. I thought we had a black house mouse and set up the traps. It was not a mouse and it did resemble a mole. After surfing online I found a picture and it was exactly what it looked like....
I hope it is the last one. There are great alternatives to snap traps.
anybody heard of a "vole"?
