How to Get Rid of Moles: 6 Common Solutions
You’ve probably landed on this page because your garden has been taken over by moles, and you’re completely fed up.
Are you looking for ways to get rid of moles once and for all? Many people find themselves in this exact situation.
An effective solution for mole control.
In fact, before he launched this company, QuickTaupe’s own founder dealt with numerous mole infestations himself.
This article will show you how to eliminate moles. Method 4 is the most effective of all, but be sure to read about every solution, and you’ll be a pro at mole hunting in no time.
1.Plants to Drive Moles Out of Your Garden
Of all the solutions on the market, anti-mole plants are quite popular. Here are some examples:
- Crown Imperial (Fritillaria imperialis): Its toxic bulb gives off a strong, musky odor that moles find unpleasant.
- Incarvillea: These plants release a smell that repels moles.
- Gopher Spurge (Euphorbia lathyris): Its stems contain substances that irritate a mole’s snout.
- Elder: Its leaves and liquid manure are well-known for keeping moles away.
- Hyacinth: The bulb of this flower has a strong scent that repels moles.
- Castor Bean (Ricinus communis): The entire plant, especially its seeds, is both toxic and repellent to moles.
- Daffodils: Daffodil bulbs are toxic, which is likely why moles avoid their roots.
- Allium: This plant is also known to repel moles.
How do these plants actually get moles out of your garden? It’s simple. Moles have a highly developed sense of smell—so much so that they can smell an earthworm through several inches of dirt. Because of this, they absolutely hate the strong odors of these various plants.
Are repellent plants truly effective against moles? Yes and no… Plants aren’t effective at getting rid of moles that are already well-established in your garden.
For them to work, they need time to grow and for their roots and scent to permeate the soil. So, unless you use them in a mole-repellent home remedy, it will take several weeks for them to be “effective.”
They are primarily a preventive measure. If you want to stop moles from destroying your lawn, it’s a smart move to plant them. But once you have moles, you need to trap them. Anti-mole plants won’t have any effect, which is exactly the feedback one of our clients shared in our Facebook group.
They can prevent moles from finding your garden attractive, but there is little to no chance they will get rid of moles that are already settled in your yard.

2.Getting Rid of Moles with a Putange Trap
There are tons of mole traps for sale on every pest control website and even on Amazon, but only one trap is truly effective.
The evidence is simple: Look at how long mole traps have been around, and you’ll see that the one mole trap that hasn’t changed in centuries is the Putange trap.
And the reason it hasn’t changed is because it’s a trap that works. It has been proving its effectiveness since the days of King Louis XIV at the Palace of Versailles !
So if you need to buy a trap to catch moles, get the Putange trap. It is extremely effective and so durable you’ll be able to use it for life.
How to use the Putange mole trap: The Putange trap is a copper trap made of two arms, held apart by a trigger. You slide it into the correct tunnels of the mole network, and it springs when the mole pushes the trigger with its paws.
The advantage of this mole trap is that it is mechanical, made of a single, unbreakable piece, and it kills the mole instantly without making it suffer—unlike traps that use explosives, such as the Detaupeur.
If you’re planning to buy this trap, there’s one important detail to know: as we mentioned in the section about anti-mole plants, moles have a very sensitive sense of smell. So if you buy a new trap online and try to use it, it won’t work.
The mole will immediately smell the copper scent of a new trap. You must be careful to buy Putange traps that have been pre-aged in natural soil so they don’t have any copper odor.
Another thing to be aware of is that there are several variations, including some made in China that are much less durable.
To be sure you don’t make a mistake, get your trap from Quicktaupe.
You’ll receive a quality, lifetime-guaranteed, pre-aged trap and you’ll be able to catch your first mole within 48 hours. And if you want to know which tunnel to trap for quick results, visit this page.
3.Chasing Moles Away with a Home Remedy
Are you tired of moles constantly digging tunnels in your garden? Did your last ultrasonic mole repellent fail? Maybe a home remedy will be the solution you’ve been dreaming of.
These little critters can quickly become a nuisance, creating mounds of dirt everywhere without our permission. Fortunately, our grandmothers developed homemade repellents that are easy to create.
Is crushed glass a good solution? No, crushed glass is the absolute worst solution if you want to get rid of moles. This method has never worked and never will. It’s based on the belief that moles are hemophiliacs, but we’ve written an article on the subject that shows this isn’t the case. The glass shards will do nothing to the mole.
Placing dog and cat hair in molehills: To ward off moles, place dog and cat hair in their molehills. The smell of their natural predators can deter them. This is an eco-friendly and harmless method for these little burrowing animals. Repeat the process weekly for 6 weeks to maintain effectiveness.
Baking soda against moles: You often see this method online. Take half a cup of baking soda and mix it with half a cup of peanut butter until you get a smooth paste. Then, find the molehills in your garden and place the mixture inside them. Few people know this, but scientifically, we know that moles cannot pass gas.
Find the perfect kit to solve your mole problem for good.
This means that if a mole ingests a product that generates gas, it will not be able to expel it. If a mole eats this bait, the baking soda reacts with the toxins in its stomach, and the mole dies a few days later.
However, this method ignores the fact that moles do not eat inert matter (a very useful piece of information you can find in our anti-mole book). If you’ve ever tried this recipe, let us know in the comments! As mole experts, we’re convinced that this is a rumor, not an effective solution to fight a mole invasion.
There are many other home remedies, like placing coffee grounds in the tunnels. These are always very simple repellent recipes to try, which might be why they attract a lot of people. But honestly, there is very little chance that these methods actually work. They are based on too much ignorance of a mole’s lifestyle.

5.Using Pet Predators to Catch Moles
Moles have natural predators. We could mention owls or buzzards, but we’ll assume you don’t have a pet owl at home. However, you might have a dog or a cat. And these two little animals are formidable mole hunters once they figure out who is hiding under all the dirt mounds in your garden!
The idea is to open a molehill and encourage them (by placing their head over the hole) to smell the mole. Dogs and cats learn quickly and might start digging to finally catch the mole that is tearing up your garden!
Once again, this is an alternative way to get rid of moles, and as mole experts, we know how unpredictable these methods can be. Plus, your dog or cat might end up making even bigger holes than the moles themselves. Always prioritize a traditional mole trap and a method that causes no external damage and doesn’t pollute.
6.Hiring a Professional to Get Rid of All Your Moles
The last truly effective method we will discuss is hiring a professional. You can call a mole catcher simply to get information, to get their opinion on your situation, and to learn about the available solutions for your specific yard and molehills. A phone call is no commitment, but it can open up possibilities for real solutions to stop a mole infestation on your property.
Calling a professional is often the first step that will help you find the right solution for your mole problem. Don’t forget that you need to be patient and consistent to succeed! And please feel free to leave us a comment and tell us about your situation; one of our mole catchers will take the time to respond!
Sincerely, Alexis, CEO of QuickTaupe.
