What makes you angry?

Recently I went to inquire about a product and was ready to pay for the lights.
While on the phone the person
They simply was not helpful and just had had an heir like they were doing me a favor. Since then I have been looking for an alternative vendor for the product

 

Having twins apparently gives every slack-jawed, mouth-breathing yokel on the planet license to come up to you and make the most inane comments ever.

 

Such as?

I need to add to my list of inane comments.

 

And the battle starts again this year.
I tired biological warfare first reading about this "milky spore" stuff. Gives the grubs some bacteri that kills them off but I've found that the moles eat earthworms also, need the worms so killing them off isn't an option.
I think I'll try the chemical approach this time, spreading out the peppermint oil, I got a well established mound to test that on first but I'm also reading the only sure way is trapping them.

 

Living in the country we have the tannerite option of mole removal. Along with sod, dirt & debris. It really doesn't hurt the moles much but it does make schrubbery planting much easier.

 

If you go the trapping method I suggest the "GopherHawk".

 

Wife is like "I don't want to kill them." Then this evening walking out in the yard the ground gave way under her foot almost sending her tumbling. "What's that!" "Mole tunnel" Is said. "Kill'm!"

That's interesting but does it work with moles? they are a fraction of the size of a gopher. Disregard, I see the videos.

 

A Gopherhawk is a great device.

 

I was the same way when I first started getting mice in my garage. I set up "humane" traps and soon realized that was a royal PITA having to then release the little fuckers, and it didn't really work. Since then I've killed a fuck load of the little shits. They seem to come in waves, for instance, I hadn't seen any signs for a couple of months until about 5 days ago. I quickly electrocuted 5 over 2 days, and now nothing for the last 3 days. I'll leave the trap up a few more days to make sure.

 

At the old place we had no problem. I think it's because we were up on a hill and water drained out of the soil pretty quickly, we're on a flat lot here and heavy rains it'll pool up in the yard, drainage not so good, old farm site so I have sunken ground where the barn was. Soil can keep moisture for a while. I did insecticides on the yard every year and that does well to keep bugs down, seemed to help push the moles out till now.

I'm more convinced now that trapping is the best solution.

 

Local Ace has it in stock. I'm getting two.

 

What trap are you using? Sure would be satisfying electrocuting these f-ers. I've found glue traps work the best so far. You're not wrong about waves...we haven't seen any in a month or so then bam, 3 in the sticky traps in one day

 

I bought it 11/2022 and have killed many, many mice with it. I just changed the batteries, not because it indicated that they were low, I just figured it had to be about time.

JAWS traps. Best trap I have found.

 

Sorry to report guys. Gopherhawk is going back. The mole runs are too shallow for the trap to work, I can't get the thing to stand up once the trap is cocked. The metal springs have gotten all distorted and it wouldn't allow a mole to pass through.

Going for this.

The neighbors barking dogs and it doesn’t seem to matter where I go, I always hear a barking dog. It’s so annoying. Society is full of irresponsible, lazy, sloppy people, we are living in the Idiocracy movie and it’s getting worse by the day.

 

My backyard neighbors' dogs are insane. There's never just a small bark, full on war cry to my dogs who really couldn't give a shit

 

Did the dog quit barking?

 

Aaaah. Well that's nice of you to take his situation into account. I hope he gets it figured.

 

Commuting to the gulag this morning, I got stuck behind a car driving 5 under the speed limit, it’s a 55 mph country road, the guy brake checks me 3 times and as I pass he speeds up. I can’t wait to retire…only 25 more years. Ugh. This all happened after a slow person pulled out in front of me and I passed him also. Most drivers shouldn’t be allowed to drive.

 

Idiots abound.

Once I got in front of him, I would slow down enough to inconvenience him, and would pull over to block him if he tried to pass. Jerks should be treated like the jerks they are.

 

And that's the definition of aggressive driving. Solves nothing but can escalate it to stupid new levels if the other driver is unbalanced.

 

Many years ago, when dinosaurs still roamed the Earth, a friend and I were on our way to his house on motorcycles. He lived a fair distance out in the country. A man and his wife were out for a drive doing about 20 mph on a country road. No big deal, we'll just pass him. Each time we tried, he'd floor it. After a couple of attempts, we lagged back a bit, opened the throttles, and passed him doing around 60. He wasn't paying attention to us and didn't have time to react. We just kept going. I'm not sure what his game was, but it didn't work for long.
