    Have the little pests too.... Please let us know if that works, Connie
    You know you can totally freak out a mole with pieces of JuicyFruit gum. I bet it will work.

    Debra MC, We've tried the gum and the little suckers come back!!! But thanks anyway

    I just hate to admit defeat but those damn ants have set up a tent city on top of the dryer sheet :hunf: and I am positive that they were laughing at me.My aunt says to use Terra but I really don"t like using chemicals around my critters some one else suggested fresh Bay Leafs I"ll try anything ,my brother can"t understand,spiders don"t bother me but ants do?But I say they may have won the skirmish but I plan to win the war!!!

    Have you tried using baby powder? It suffocates the ants.

    We had so much fun 'running a mole out" last summer! We've tried juicy fruit gum, mole traps, pepper, you name it. Then I saw a fresh mound & DS was running the hose on his boat motor to make sure it started before he got out on the lake & I told him to bring it to me before he put it up. I stuck that hose in the mole hole & out he came! Way too fast! i wasn't ready for him & he went back in & we got a Rubbermaid tote & was ready for him the next time! We laughed so hard but got rid of him. Now it's a summer game for us "catch the mole".

    Fabric softener sheets are highly flammable, so use them with caution when quilting.

    I enjoyed the list, too. Especially interested in the bug repellant aspect.

    I agree with cjomomma
    I used baby powder and they never - never returned after 3 years even! Guess the ants spread the word about the baby powder. Wonder if that would work for moles !? ha

    Cinnamon also sends the ants scattering. It's messy, but when you have an ant highway, 4 lanes each way, and no bug spray, a little mess is nothing.
