How to Eliminate Garden Moles and Earth Worms  
HOW TO 

Tags: Earth Worms, Moles, Eliminate Pests, Pests, Garden Pests

Moles be gone! This works for some people, though earthworms are important to any garden.

1.	Get a bottle of Peppermint Oil and a pocketful of cotton balls.
2.	Walk around your lawn or garden, locating every entry/exit hole.
3.	Hold the cotton ball over the lip of the peppermint oil bottle, and tip the bottle up--in other words, soak the cotton ball with the peppermint oil.
4.	Drop the soaked cotton ball into the hole.
5.	Repeat as new tunnels form, if they do. Apparently these critters hate peppermint oil.
6.	You do NOT want to get rid of the earthworms!!!! They are good for the soil, they aerate the ground and provide a natural (although in very small amounts) fertilizer to the soil. The only time I take earthworms out of my soil is when I need a few for bait when I go fishing.
