%**#@ moles in the backyard. This is NOT the face of a happy man. One sure way to tick off a green thumb is to mess with his lawn. What you are about to see is all thanks to the miracle of the internet.
Yes that's the tail pipe of Mike's pick-up. It's got a pipe wrapped with aluminum foil and duct tape, and just to be sure--a zip tie too. See how it works is, the aluminum foil prevents leakage. It also doesn't melt (like the duct tape would) from the heat. You see, the aluminum foil is what makes it "safe."
Attached to the pipe is a garden hose all the way down to the mole holes.
He's not messing around. It's a Carbon Monoxide smoke-out for the moles. According to several crazy farmers online, this is the sure way to rid yourself of a mole problem.
In case you've never watched the Red Green Show it's a Canadian comedy full of masculine silliness. One of the mottos repeated in every episode is "Duct tape--a handy man's secret weapon." You can catch the show on PBS if you live close enough to Canada--like Washington and Minnesota. You're not likely to find it on PBS in California.

Poor little moles :( j/k
Now my dad has a new plan.
I heard you can put chewing gum out and they chew on it and choke. Seriously my friends tried it. And of course it did not work. I like the carbon monoxide idea better.
Remind me never to get on Mike's bad side...seriously...
:-)
So did it work?
