Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

I'm no expert but I've had them from time to time. They feed on grub worms alot. I was told that if you treat your lawn for insects, they'll move on. I used a granular treatment and it worked. @SoilVol I'm sure would be a great source. @Rishvol may be of some help too.
@mrMet I'd recommend physically trapping them with a mole trap in the tunnels. The problem with broadcasting granular insecticide is that it is indiscriminate. No more fireflies, cicadas, etc. Maybe some folks want that. I'd rather just manage the mole problem directly if it's a serious problem, but personally I just see them as an inconvenience and normally leave them alone.
 
Anybody got any recommendations on mole extermination?

Yeah, I have a small yard in the middle of the woods next to a 5 acre field. Doubt I'm really putting a dent in the insect population.
 
Happy Wednesday

Scripture — Gospel of John 20:29 (NIV)
“Then Jesus told him, ‘Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.’”

Reflection:
This moment comes after the resurrection. Thomas had wrestled with doubt. He had heard the reports, listened to the others, and still said he needed to see the wounds for himself.
And Jesus met him there.

Not with shame. Not with distance. With truth.
Then Jesus expands the moment beyond Thomas… all the way to us.
“Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

Most of faith is lived there.
Not after every answer.
Not after every outcome makes sense.
Not after every prayer is visibly fulfilled.
But in the space between promise and proof.

Faith is not pretending questions don’t exist. It’s choosing to trust the character of God even when the evidence hasn’t fully unfolded in front of you yet.

Prayer:
Lord, thank You that faith is not reserved for those who see everything clearly. Thank You that You bless those who trust You in the waiting, in the questions, and in the unseen places. When I want visible proof before I move, remind me of Your character. Help me build confidence not only on what I can see, but on who You have always been. Strengthen my faith in the quiet seasons, and teach me to walk with steady trust even before the answers come. Amen.
This was the subject of the sermon at the church I attend on Sunday before last. It really sat with me. Always enjoy you posting these.

They’ve completely terrorized my front yard. Like half of it is dead now

I will probably sound like a full blown idiot but I guess I struggle determining which tunnels are active? I have quite a few

My pit bull has caught 3 in the back yard herself but I hardly have any damage in backyard so confused how that even happened
