When I heard that ferret poop was being passed around by my friends, I was very curious.  And then I heard that it was being used as a mole control and I thought…brilliant!  Scare away those pesky little mammals with  a natural predator.  Moles don’t eat plants, they eat insects and worms, but they can create a big mess when they dig up mounds of dirt on the lawn and in the garden.  Apparently, putting ferret poop down the tunnels and/or letting the ferrets enter the tunnels on a leash is a big deterrent.  After this ferret intervention, my friend’s mole problem disappeared like magic!  We have a ferret rescue shelter in our area which would be a great resource for this precious commodity.  Thanks Cindy for this creative solution!
