Our Golden Retriever is really good at catching them and only wants to play, does not try to kill or eat them, however, it seems like on days she catches one, for a few hours afterwards she has a cough and acts like she does not feel good, it passes and does not keep her from hunting. Anyone know anything? Could just be allergies I guess!

Anyway………. best way to keep them from getting in your plants or garden, raise the beds, and use wire in the bottom of the bed,the moles, gophers,or ?can’t get thru and move on….. to make a short story long, I totally sympathize with you, as just the other day, I watched a city, with subburbs, being born,in the middle of my yard and garden,right under my nose … the cat and I were quite intertained…nature and critters, gotta love them, gotta love them…The best part is figuring how to out smart them, and not have to kill them or use chemicals to posion the ground..just think of the challenge it gives……. who’s smarter, and who’s gonna win, using the safest and most natural way………food for thought…S of ES

When I spied a mole-hill, I worried that he would get out the poison. So, I tried something that some friends suggested: I sprinkled the area with used kitty litter, that smelled strongly of male cat urine.

Mr. Mole left and did not return. My landlord never realized he’d had an unwanted visitor on the property and did not put out more poison.
