Not sure I have heard of a pocket mole..pocket gopher. Moles look more
"alien" than gophers...sorry not much help

You can treat them like mice. Get a tamper resistant bait station, rat
sized, and secure rat bait in it...use the "blocks" rather than the D-
con type pellets.

Greetings Shane,
If they are making long runways of raised dirt about 3 - 4 inches wide
and an inch or two high, and is extensive throughout the yard, they
are probably moles. Moles eat worms and grubs, which tend to be
localized thoughout a yard.
If the damage is more localized around trees, flowers or shrubs, or
is primarily to the grass, they are probably voles. Voles eat
vegetative matter.
If you've ever seen one they are definitely voles (you'll never see a
mole)
For voles, do as Lar suggests, for moles use a harpoon type trap or,
even better (in my opinion), try our new Talpirid bait. I've received
reports of many a happy consumer - or perhaps I should say "user"!

| Yeah, I figured it was a Vole because it rare that you ever see a mole of
out of the gorund. I think the Fox Urine probably made it come out of its
hole. Anyways, I'm going to try all the sugestions. Thanks again.
