September 26: Tractor Supply Co and the Moles

Every year we get a mole problem in our yard. I think they come from the field behind us. My wife thinks I overreact about their presence beneath our grass, but I've read about the damage those little buggers can do to your yard. The past few years I've called on Natural Way to come out and lay a product called Talprid in the ground to get rid of the gophers. Talprid are these rubber worms that mimic a favorite meal of moles. However, these worms are made of a toxic chemical. This year, the guy who cuts my lawn told me I could buy a similar product at Tractor Supply Co., but for a much more economical price. So, this afternoon, I stepped into Tractor Supply Co for the first time. It was...uh, well, interesting. The product I was told about is the same thing as Talprid, but just made by a different company called Montomco. So, upon returning home, I laid mole baits inside a few trails in the front yard. And, in a nutshell, not only did I visit a new store today for the first time, I also became a murderer. Nice.
