Dude, I will forever sing your praises. YOu may not have discovered it but after over 10 years of using every known trap to mankind, repellants, bombs, even firing my 12 g into the earth - I have NO MOLES. Thanks for your video on JUICY FRUIT GUM. I've spent probably $45 on Juicy Fruit but I have eliminated every mole mound in my yard and garden. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
I work pest control and we are always having mole problems and we just recently tried juicy fruit and it actually works! Outta all the things we have used it seems the juicy fruit worked the best! Now that's all we use.
Does it work on gophers? Moles eat bugs, gophers eat my garden
I think if I was in the business of killin moles, I would tell everyone that juicy f. Is worthless and stick it down the hole when their backs are turned. Then make some stupid back th the future thing with wires and batteries and charge them for your special work ( and bring home some Salad for mama !
I had heard of juicy fruit original for killing moles. But maybe I did over kill by putting a quarter stick in several holes along the tunnel. I don't recognize a difference.
Looks like this post shows 1/2 stick in one tunnel. Is that right? How often did you do that before seeing a difference?
We had such a bad mole problem new mounds in our yard every day!! I decided to give it a go I bought the big pack. Cut them in 3rds took down all the mounds, and put the gum in a bunch of the tunnels. And not one new tunnel in the last 3 weeks! Not one! I’m a believer!! Thank you for sharing this!
Battled them for years, juicy fruit worked 100% use gloves so your scent doesnt get on the gum for max effectiveness.
Can you share the brand you used?
@@Teresa-pz3sv As far as I know, there has always just been one Juicy Fruit gum.

I've used that plunger style trap for a few years and got 94 moles with it. The key is to only press the soil down a little, they will attempt to repair the tunnel and get spiked.
and to poke a hole in the tunnel the size a silver dollar, the next day check to see if the hole has been patched or filled back in if it has its an active tunnel, like you said cave in the tunnel and set your trap over the indentation.
When I was a ranch hand out in Montana we spent days putting hubba hubba in prairie dog towns, just tosave cattle from breaking legs.....gum works!
Thank you. I will try this. I am so done with these moles.
I've used it for several years and it always seems to work. Sometimes I had to go through a few repeats but eventually they died or went away. My wife says it's a wives tale but after multiple applications, the evidence points to 'it works'. Pest control people say that moles eat grubs and worms so why would they eat juicy fruit. I don't know. I'm not a mole. However, it would be a great video if someone could get a live mole and see if it would eat the juicy fruit and what happened after it did.
Have an ant problem? I use 80% sugar with 20% 20 Mule Team Borax. Place in a circle around the ant hill...Really effect for Fire Ants.
Nope. Have a mole problem.
Good morning Lambert she getting so big. You doing something right. Keep on following your right mind. Good luck. Enjoy your day
I can say for sure that juicy fruit works. Our yard around our house is about 3 acres and it is adjoined by hundreds of acres of pasture. We have been using juicy fruit for years and it works. But don't expect to do this once and never see a mole again. I saw somewhere that moles are territorial and there will only be one per acre ... that's bull. Using traps I caught 5 in one hole in a week so that theory doesn't hold. Juicy fruit comes in these big packs of 3 at walmart for about 3 bucks. I unwrap about 8 pieces and slice them lengthwise into thin strips ... 3 strips per piece of gum. this is more the size of a worm which is what moles eat, then i go out and use a 3/4" metal rod to poke holes in the areas I see moles. Drop in a piece of juicy fruit and move on. Look for areas where tunnels intersect and do it there.. It helps if you can find a deep main run but it isn't so easy so shallow runs are ok. The shallow runs are where they are feeding anyway. This will work as the juicy fruit gets soft like a worm. So if one eats it and dies it won't be long before another one moves in... but there is still pieces of juicy fruit out there so they will eventually find it. If your property is like mine there are probably thousands of moles waiting to move in so this is a constant process but it does work and it is cheap ! best thing is if a dog or something gets a piece it won't hurt them .. much better than poison. So there you go ... load up the yard and keep a few packs on hand -- see activity -- put out some more. sorry for the long post.
Just because something is cheap and easy does not make it bad. Juicy fruit gum... is not my favorite gum. But if it works,that's all that counts!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Next time you make a raised bed, line the bottom with hardware cloth. I’m in California and have gophers and ground squirrels everywhere. Works perfectly.
Black hole gopher traps work amazing I’m in SoCal had infestation on 10 acres quit counting around 400 made for some happy hawks and falcons. Cheers
I have a raised bed. I just stapled a wire mesh on the bottom. Hope it keeps them out!
Thanks @@cr3062 - Yes, "Hardware cloth" is that wire mesh I spoke of. My backyard is adjacent to wild land and our gopher problem was so bad that I took to making wire mesh cylinders OVERTIME I plant something in the garden.
It's the only reason we have a garden at all.
Tiz Nuss I was thinking about chicken wire under the crops. Never got a chance to try it. I graduated & had to move. I’m container gardening now.
I am trying the JUICY FRUIT. Hope it works! You are the reason the channel is growing! You are a great teacher and example for others plus you have a GREAT sense of humor! 💕
Goodness, I love this channel. From the way you interact with you son on camera to the tips and tricks you've shown, it's all great. Living on a homestead is where I aim to be in ten -fifteen years.
When u set your trap, leave a small amount of daylight to access the mole hole & they will come to fill the hole & you’ll have more success with the trap - God bless Rick from Durant
I had a bad mole problem 10 yrs ago and got a 4 month old jack russell and that dog was the best mole hunter.. lol I just had to refill the holes she dug to get to the moles.
Dachunds can too
We used to have a beagle and that's been the topic here is since our beagle was only six years old passed away batted the moles
My German Shepard is after a bunch of them. So, no walking around after dark (maybe she is setting up traps for intruders?).
Penny Mcfee omg for real?? I can’t let my little yorkies out there or they will end up chased by prey birds :(
My Odin is NOT good at catching moles!
FACT! Preach brother! We had digging critters all over our yard every year. We baited them with a Juicy Fruit back in the spring and have had a nice mound free lawn for the first time ever. We only had one reoccurrence. So we just re-baited today and it’s the middle of July. We’ve spent so much money on pellets, traps and even gassed the holes. Nothing worked until we tried Juicy Fruit! One more tip. Use disposable gloves to handle the gum to keep your scent off the gum.
Great vlog! It amazes me when a TH-cam channel goes through the trouble to share something that could possibly and potentially help someone else and for free, the back lash of negativity that floods the comment section. Got to laugh at some that have "negative lives" and must share that unwanted spirit with others! Lets just keep them in our prayers, God bless.
Tried the juicy fruit on the mole in-law, but she keeps coming back..
oh! somean!
Oh, so FUNNY!
Mr Robin Lessard...Dude...when I say...I like your thinking🤪🤪🤪🤪
I’ve seen other videos and read on line where people use Juicy Fruit but never done this until. Your video. I cut the sticks into thin (worm like) strings and put one ever foot in each tunnel. I have moles really bad, they are tearing my yard up. So far I see no damage in raised beds. Keep the great ideas coming.
I have been waiting for this follow up!!-Kristy. And I tried the juicy fruit in garden, sponges in yard and wrigleys spearmint in field. Garden I can tell a difference for sure! Yard, not so much - sponges maybe not as effective. Field and spearmint gum didn’t do as much either. Juicy fruit is great I believe!!
If gum kills dogs, my little Maltese would have died a long time ago! He will steal it out of your purse or pocket given the chance! I am going to try the Juicy fruit gum, moles destroyed my entire potato crop last year! Thanks for sharing!
You can buy the landscape fabric at Growers solutions for sure.
And maybe Boot strap farmer.!!!! Hope this helps.
Continued success and growth on your channel. You're ethical, hard working and most of all compassionate. "I don't mind sharing". You have moved to first place on my choice You Tube channels because of it.
holy cow! that trap is serious business!! Please tell me Lambert isn't destined to be dinner..... everytime I see her/him? now I think "Laaaaaambert, the sheepish lion"
That juicy fruit will sprout a gum tree.....get it.......gum tree.......wooooo tough crowd.... lol
Dry Ice works for moles & gophers also! My friend completely rid her garden & lawn using this method!
Anytime you start a video with Lambert, it's gonna be good
You can actually buy corrugated piping like that with fabric already surrounding it. Then you 1. Don’t have to worry about creating a barrier and 2. Let the roots get right down by the water so they can utilize it all getting rid of stagnant water which can cause some issues. I plan on doing a ~ 150 sq ft raised garden using this method after we finish our yard work.
THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!! OMG My property last year was infested with moles, holes, tunnels, and damage. They killed two fruit trees and an established bed of strawberries. I have many other raised beds & trees full of holes as well. Today, I just noticed the little buggers are already very active out there. Ordering juicy fruit right now!!! Thanks again!!
I was told by my Dad, when laying out a raised bed, first put out plastic trash bag, then layer newspaper and then your dirt. I have even grown potatoes in used tires. Love your channel.
Fighting with the moles for a while. We’ll try with the gumm. Wait to see the results. Thanks 😉
500k of that 1.7 million was my wife and I. Love the videos.
I was told about 25 years ago to use juicy fruit gum to get rid of moles and ground hogs. Anything that made tunnels. It worked. I don't know if they were killed or just chased off. I hope not killed, but was very surprised. Also, that was from someone in the Missouri extension office or something official like that. I don't remember after 25 years, who does lol, but I do remember them saying it was illegal for me to outright kill them.
Is a mole the state animal? Lol. That's crazy that you can't kill rodents that are on your property.
Why?
@@virginiak.7099 just the law in Missouri
Your channel is awesome bro y’all deserve the 1.7 million views in March you been working your tail off to get it off the ground and God has seen that your labor won’t be in vain great job 100,000 subs this year guys we got this
I was told by an old trapper that he always used rose stalks. The ones with the big ugly spikes thorns. Because he told me, and I can’t remember if it was voles or moles, but they don’t have an immune system and when they go past the thorns and get scratched , on their skin they get an infection and die. Same story here, I figured why not, and I’ll be darned, I had my great grandmother’s bush that used to rip my blue jeans in all the runs in the yard And I got rid of a boatload of them.
Well, I have a big old rose bush that I need to cut back....
That Lambert is just a cute little goat! Awesome news on the growth of your channel! You totally deserve it!
thanks for the update and sharing your yummies! also thanks for your thankless security and safety service. Grace be with you all
I just cove your channel & I’m not even a homesteader or gardener. I used to garden a little, but can’t anymore. I love your sense of humor, your interaction with your wonderful family & your Christian values. I just happened upon a homestead channel one day & got interested. I happened upon yours & is one of my favs. I want to thank you for your service as a law enforcement officer keeping us safe every day. Hugs!
Love you brother. So happy to see you doing so well. KEEP UP THE HARD WORK.. GOD BLESS !!!
You make me laugh. Good video. I'm glad the gum worked for ya. My back yard looks like a moll highway by early spring. I just may try the gum. The jerky? Well that was cool. Who would have known they make it. Still looking in my suburban area for just regular goat meat. May have to have ya send me some. Thanks brother.
So good to see Lambert. Thanks for sharing Daniel!
Thank you!! I’m in central Florida. These buggers been tearing up my yard for a couple of years! I’m going out to buy some Juicy Fruit!! God bless you sir! Love Lambert 🐐
I think March was such a big TH-cam month for you because of your Goats and their cute Kids. Your birth video's were amazing too! I'm looking forward to watching all your garden videos to come!🙂
I saw your first video on the gum. I tried it and hard to believe but I'm sure it is working. thanks for your videos.
The landscape fabric you're using can be found at Lowes/Home Depot, but they call it Contractor Barrier or Contractor Silt Fence. At Lowes, it's outside in the garden area right by all the weed fabric. You can also look for construction barrier. It's the same material. French drain can also be found at both Lowes/Home Depot.
Peppermint plant. Take branches n leaves n stuff them in the holes, doesn't kill them but they won't be back to the spot. After a little chasing they'll be gone till a new one moves in. You can make a tea n dump that down the hole but I had no luck without the foliage. Got that from Cisco, gardening with Cisco, Cisco, it's on his website :)
Hahaha, thanks for the shout out. I have some of those tubs and they cost me $100.00 a piece. Lol You better believe i'm going to reuse them. You can get the commercial weed barrier off amazon. So how do you like the promix. If you haven't heard of Pratts greenhouse channel, he has lots of experience with the promix. Ed Pratt is a super nice and down to earth guy.He lives over by JNull0.
The promix seems to be working pretty well but it’s hard to say if it’s great just yet.
@@ArmsFamilyHomestead , i didn't say it was great, I said it was good stuff.. Lol .
Keep on doin what you're doin Daniel! Awesome video. Very informative!
Whirly-gig... Old folks used to have these in their yards, all kinda shapes. Propeller on one end to catch the wind, which would cause the figure to move, also had a small flap on the back of the prop which would cause a vibration. Moles will run from vibration
They are still available as new, as well as collectable antique and modern folk artists.
Thank u for your help with the tubs Daniel about the garden tubs . Watched Leon when Huston got his Jr Gardner award.
Congrads on the Juicy Fruit. Some times old wives tales work. Glad you are using common sense along with all else.
Using double bubble bubble gum will work also. I use it all the time in my trapping service. ☺.
We just bought our second batch of ground goat meat. We made goat burgers the first time, now I think I’m gonna make swedish meatballs. Oh wow! I would so try goat jerky! been a jerky lover since I was a kid back in the 60’s. 👍👍
Ty for very informative follow up vid. I truly enjoyed it.
It works! Found a dead mole this morning. Inexpensive and effective method indeed!
I love your videos. It gives me lots of ideas for when I start my farm.
well Daniel,when i moved to the house 20 years ago, we had voles and 5 star nosed moles, all over my back yard, I bought 5 packs of Juicy fruit gum, and stuck it in their trails and with in a month they were all gone and to this day I never had any come back, so yes I do swear by the gum, HAVE A GREAT AFTERNOON
The gum isn't killing the moles or voles.....they moved to the coast and took up windsurfing. .........hahaha
Thanks for the follow up on the wicking tubs. You do a great job and really enjoy your videos.
Saw the video about the gym too, so glad you did the test. Hey, never had goat meat before I have to try it.
I love lambert. I had a goat many years ago and Bart the goat was the most amusing and fun animal I ever had the pleasure to share time with.
1.7M views in March...hard work paying off brother 👍
You can get that landscape fabric from Growers Solution. Just got a couple rolls ourselves for the garden
25 gallon Smartpots can be purchased for as low as $5.00 each 5 for $25) online. They last for a few years usually.
Commercial weed block can be bought at your local Tractor Supply and if they don't have it they will order it with days! Also old sheets work great and are dirt cheap at thrift stores.
Good luck
Your friends were right about moles vs voles. Moles only use a few of their tunnels more than once. Mash them all down and the new tunnels you see the next day are most likely the active runs. That’s a good place to put the harpoon trap.
Congrats on your Record Setting March numbers! Your channel is Awesome and inspiring!!
Lambert is adorable and I just love how passionate you are about the Juicy Fruit. I'm trying it!
I found way too many holes today and more pushed up dirt than last year. These jokers have to go!
I hope you have a beautiful day
We live in Ft Worth and with our black clay we don't have that problem. But when we lived in Nacogdoches we did. We lined the bottom of our beds with chicken wires, overlapping it to make smaller holes and solved our problem.
I use juicy fruit every year, always works like a charm. My dogs keep them out of the back yard. I'm so glad I found your channel. I live in WW. Howdy neighbor.
I'm going to try this! We have mole holes/mounds everywhere! I've been having my kids stuff pine cones down the holes (we have those everywhere too, lol) just to annoy the moles...they just make new holes, lol.
You are 100% right, I am pushing 50 and as a boy, my Grandfather used bubble gum for moles. He also used to grow lots and lots of peppermint around the house and barn, he said that rodents hate the smell from rabbits to mice etc... In the Fall, he used to sickle the mint and sprinkle it in the basement and root cellar. P.S. He also had a jack russell dog for rodents. Great Video
We have moles EVERYWHERE! Definitely going to try this!
LAMBERT! Thanks for giving us a little bit of LAMBERT. Now if we could find a gum that would work on those ants.
Construction sites here in FL call that fabric, filter cloth. its dirt cheap at Home Depot.
I use silt fence for land scape. Many construction sites will give it to you after their finish using it. Works great and cheap.
Years ago I discovered a large tunnel system from wharf rats inside my chicken coop. So, I bought those mole sulfur sticks and put those in there. When I stepped out of the coop, I saw yellow sulfur smoke coming out of the ground hundreds of feet around. I have no idea how many rodents I killed that day, but it took out a large amount of them. Now I'm getting ready to eliminate a bunch of opossums living under my neighbors shed. Normally these wouldn't be a problem, but my chickens and ducks do not like having them nearby. They've already beheaded one of our rabbits. I won't let them have that same opportunity with my fowl. Have an awesome day and thanks for sharing!
You could also put hardware mesh or small aviary wire at the bottom of the raised beds. That will keep them out.
Love jerky + have goat name "Jerk Head" that sires your meat goats + you are, what you eat = LOL! Just "kidding" around Daniel. LOL! Juicey Fruit Gum the mole killer, looks liked it worked to me.
It worked for me. We tried a number of different things that didn’t work. They were killing both our front and back yards. We bought two traps and moved them all over for weeks. Caught one mole but the damage continued. Finally used juicy fruit and they were completely gone for months. Well they are now back so I put out a bunch juicy fruit tonight. I’m hoping for the same result.
you have to find a trail that they use,not all are trails,step on some to see if they are raised up tomorrow.if they are up ,that is a travel trail. set trap there
They probably got cavities. And lost some teeth. Do to the sugar ! Not sure but I chew gum and yes I got cavities!
Lol did you just give us the bird LMAO
lol
We use the tubs that that and we drill holes in the bottom so the plants don’t drown and it works good
OMG !!! it works. Tried it next to the front door....gone. Tried it right off the back porch...gone. and just did it around our birdbath and cactus plants. I think I need more gum. but it works just amazing. And thank you.
My neighbor made a mole killer tool because he said apparently moles can survive even being impaled so he got a dirt tamper and welded long spikes on it then goes out in the yard and watches and as soon as he sees the dirt moving he slams it down then keeps it there while taking a shovel and getting down under the mole that way when you lift off the tamper the mole doesn't run off. Then just places it in a bucket of water. I've seen him kill a dozen moles in just a few hours.
Great video and thank you for sharing!🤗🤗
Dan at 16:37 you flipped us off! LMAO
We're a long way from you and no idea if you have caster bean plants in your region. If so we use the beans for the moles same way your using the JF, just poke a hole in there tunnel and drop in a bean (green, not the brown dried ones). Only issue is you will have the Caster bean tree growing and they are a pain, so we pull and trash them. The trap you have we use also and it works great, but best results have been when we push down the section of the tunnel under the trap trigger so they really have to push it back up to get through. Keep up all the good videos your doing a great job, and at what level do you fill the water to on the self wicking containers LOL.
Awesome job on the moles! Lol but you showed a pest that drives me out of the garden sometimes. Fire Ants! Have you ever done a video on how to deal with them effectively?
Would you say after the juicy fruit experiment, "The Beats Grow On?"
I have heard the gum trick for years and done it and works
To catch voles, use a mouse trap, set it so a slight touch sets it off. Place inside a run, cover the top of run with cardboard.
Great video just getting my homestead going. Can't wait to get it going like your.
Love watching your videos. Giving me a lot of good ideas for the future. Thats was an awesome shout out for blackberry ridge. I was one of the subs.
I used it for woodchucks, it worked, 5 out of 6 done!!!
Wow, never thought of that, I will try it out
My sister and I made raised beds. We put small hole chicken wire down first so the moles and gophers couldn't get to the crops. Worked. We dug up a bit of wire and the rum was right under the wire. We are in Central California.
I planted some winter poppy flower plants with out the wire and lost all the flowers. Some pretty happy, laid back gophers that year.
I'm going to check out that jerky 😉. Have a great day 🤗
Dan it works don't let kooks tell you anything different.
