Moles bite. Hard.


I curse the creatures who steal from my garden and spoil my hard work.

And then...

I get them face to face and turn all mushy.

First a woodchuck.

Now a mole.

Only this time, the "sweet little thing" turned out to be vicious.

I was never more thankful for having fabric between myself and a creature before. Don't let that face fool you....Moles sure can BITE!

    We're in the midst of racoons and a coyote going after apples at the moment. (We can't eat the apples)

  3. Just talking with a relative the other day about moles! Supposedly a stick (not chewed!) of Juicy Fruit Gum down in the hole, (then cover it back up)will "gum up their insides". I don't know if it works, but cheap enough to give it a try! They really are quite cute, though! My cat catches and kills the ones we have.

  4. Yikes. Do you have to get a rabies shot from mole bites?

  5. No worries Hollace~ it didn't bite ME. It bit the towel I was holding it with, with such a vengeance that it would dangle upside down as I held the towel. When it let go, it met its demise.

    I will think twice about scooping up moles next time.
