Darn things are eating up the yard in Quitman and digging a new basement under the house. Looking for a solution that works that mom can implement herself. We have several traps and they work, but she can’t set them herself. Have spread a deterrent but its expensive and she has trouble with the heavy bags and spreader.

Any thoughts?

That’s on the agenda, but have to wait until the right time.

smoke bombs, tractor supply, atwoods, hardware store, lowes, home depot.

take a long screwdriver and poke till you find the tunnel, widen hole with screwdriver, light fuse and push in with screwdriver. cover the hole and walk away.

smoke will not hurt her but stinks of sulphur. been really effective here (had to quit the tannerite treatments, too much dirt work after)

I used smoke bombs.

It took about a month but it killed them all.

The Sulphur kills them or just repels them?

this, probably have to do it a few times to get them all, smoke only travels so far.

find a fresh mound, use the screwdriver method to find the tunnel.

My lab just pulled one out of the hole....I’m going to get smoke bombs now

Should I put down Grub killer too or is it useless right now?

Careful with the smoke bombs . They used to contain cyanide gas (not sure if they still do) . Like Hop says : use a screwdriver to find the tunnel . Start on the flat side of the mound .
