This vibrant cartoon-3D image brings to life the ongoing battle against moles in my yard, showcasing the effective use of poison worms to manage the pesky intruders. Join me as I share my experiences and tips for keeping your yard mole-free!

It started out as a classic suburban skirmish: two neighbors, one lawn, and a population of dirt-dwelling saboteurs. When Reddit user u/Kooky-Glass4409 decided to declare war on the moles tunneling through their yard, they had no idea the true battle wouldn’t be underground, but over the fence. With poison worms, sonic stakes, and a not-so-cooperative neighbor, this mole problem quickly escalated into a saga worthy of r/PettyRevenge—and, judging by the comment section, a mole poblano recipe or two.

But as any seasoned Redditor will tell you, no good mole story is complete without a spicy side of community commentary. As the moles migrated, so did the conversation—veering wildly between lawn care advice, culinary disappointment, and Monty Python references. So, what happens when your quest for a pristine yard turns your neighbor’s into a lunar landscape? Grab a shovel (or a poblano pepper) and dig in.
