Ricordo Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 I've just found out that a mix of tap water and liquid dish detergent kills ants on contact. I already knew that it kills wasps and hornets as well as the commercial pesticides sold in stores. Next up... squirrels. But I want a more game-like experience. Spray them smack in their faces from two feet out. A sort of "remember-my-face" moment. They can be as destructive as a racoon. I'll be just as satisfied if it pisses them off to no end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricordo Posted May 31, 2019 Author Share Posted May 31, 2019 No moles over here, so I can't give it a shot. Haven't even seen an armadillo, or the signs of its presence, in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had both ends of the spectrum. The bad made me want to leave it alone. You wouldn't think green chili and chocolate go well together. If the person doesn't know the right balance. They don't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most moles have peanuts as an ingredient. Found that one out the hard way 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found that one out the hard way I'm referring to moles that live in our yard. Am I missing something? I don't have a nut allergy but what would that have to do with your suggestion? I'm not keeping up, apparently. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was using a Spanish "pun" for mole (pronounced mo-lay), that is a chocolate chili sauce put most commonly on chicken. When my wife would visit me in my duty station in Laredo, before we got married, I would go over to the parent's of a former SEAL I knew who was dating a Columbian woman. His mom made the best mole. She tried to teach my now wife how to make it. But, she botched it so bad, it made me hate the stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't want to make ricin. It is as likely to kill you as your target, as you, without the proper equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to refine the castor beans into ricin for them to work on moles. Think depleted uranium cannon shells vs fission bombs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
