Sunday Morning Mole Run

These are the areas where along the years i've been fighting with the moles. There are about 10+ places next to foundation. Every time i see a bulge i feel smoke inside big time. As soon as i flatten the bulges, the smoke disappears for a couple of hours util the bulges re-emerge. If you asked me, i think it's some sort of combined religious rituals. Moles symbolize Amaterasu while smoke symbolizes the hound of Dominicans (St. Dominic) (who is supposed to set the Earth on fire). Could also be masonic business as i hypothesized mole mounds could be the model for pyramids and other masonic things. So i figured if i could eliminate the moles, there would be no more smoke.

I remember in the first years here kids came to play on the grass area and were yelling like crazy because they were probably getting high on the smoke.

It was one of those days when i went to management and complained about a number of things, including one big truck idling for up to half hour at the time, making a big sound with a broken exhaust and the moles. Truck has stopped but moles remained.

I've been trying to pour in many things including water, hot sauce, chewing gum, gummy worms, other things. The only thing it worked was buzzers, inside galleries, for about 4 months last year or two years ago. Some of the best 4 months of me living here. But as soon as they ran out of batteries they quit working though i tried to replace the batteries. One quit working and the other was not effective after replacing batteries. Then i bought and put solar ones. But they have been taken by passerbies. The i tried to modify the solar ones and added batteries. It worked for a few days or weeks and then the moles came back though i was hearing the sound of buzzers from the ground. I figured the moles adapted.

But in the last few days an idea came to me. I was thinking about borax (an old type laundry detergent which is very toxic to insects including worms that moles eat, ants but not to humans. In fact, it is used in big concentrations as a preservative in some foods, including caviar. But i knew borax in certain concentration may kill the well maintained grass which feeds many worms which worms keep the moles active.

So i poured borax inside the holes next to building, where there is no grass. As soon as i did so the moles did not come back at the same holes. Today i was close to finishing all the holes (and bringing it all to a game over situation) (can't do one until it pops) and i went out with a plastic stick to probe the bulges. But for the first time since i mess with the moles in many years, sometimes hours a day, a guy from maintenance came on his cart, stopped by and went to look at the big mounds in the middle of the grass which i haven't touched.  Then i got really nervous, went inside, and back outside to take the pictures. I saw the guy with the big truck that comes out many times when i open the door. He looked upset or mad and was walking in a weird way, can't tell exactly why i thought so. I climbed down the stairs but miscalculated the last step, while being of course high on smoke and almost fell, i didn't but i strained my already injured back. Though i can't feel much pain right now.
