Daily Home Renovation Tips每日家装修秘诀

Sounds like an episode out of a Flash Gordon movie series, doesn’t it?听起来像是一辑出的Flash戈登的电影系列，不是吗？ Perhaps I should say ‘Houston, we have a problem’?也许我应该说'休斯敦，我们有一个问题'吗？

OK, OK, it’s not life threatening for three courageous astronauts.确定，确定，这不是威胁生命的三个勇敢的宇航员。 But, oh, our beautiful back yard!但是，哦，我们美丽的后院！

This is the first spring in our current home.这是第一个春天，在我们目前的家。 We moved in last summer.我们提出在去年夏天。 Our home is situated on a ravine which means that our back yard backs onto a forest.我们的家坐落在一个山沟这意味着我们的后院，背到一个森林。 Here is the view in the winter.这里是认为，在冬季。

Last year we had two situations before we installed the chain link fence (to enclose the back yard for our dog) where parts of the grass was dug up.去年我们曾在两种情况下，才安装了链环，围栏（附上回码为我们的狗）凡部分基层被挖出。

We thought it must have been raccoons.我们认为它必须是被浣熊。 And, once the fence was put up it in the very late fall it did not happen again. ，一旦围栏是把它在很迟才属于它没有再次发生。

However, it has now happened three times in the past 2 weeks.不过，它现在已发生了3倍，在过去2周。

Here is what someone or something has done to our back yard.这里是什么人或事物做了我们的后院。

John, my father in-law said that it must be moles.约翰，我的父亲在法说，它必须痣。 We had never heard about it.我们从未听说过它。 I imagine moles to have been like gophers which make holes in the ground.我猜想痣已像gophers ，使孔在地面上。 There were no holes.有没有漏洞。

However, sure enough.不过，肯定不够的。 I went to a store near us and then confirmed that it was likely moles.我去商店附近的我们，然后证实，它可能是痣。 A customer over heard me talking to the sales lady said that he had heard that mole problems were worse this year than in many past years.客户超过听到我说话，以销售夫人表示，他曾听到摩尔的问题，更糟的这一年，比在许多过去几年。

The sales lady (as did Cath) said that the moles were likely looking and finding chinch bugs.销售夫人（像猫）说，该痣有可能寻找和发现chinch臭虫。 July is when the lawn care people can use their application to kill the chinch bugs larvae. 7月的时候，草坪护理的人可以使用他们的应用要杀死chinch臭虫幼虫。 However, we moved into the house in August so were too late.不过，我们搬进房子在8月，因此为时已晚。 And, yes, last fall the lawn care firm we use did show us chinch bugs in our lawn.和，不错，去年秋天，草坪护理公司，我们使用没有向我们显示chinch臭虫在我们的草坪。

Now, I don’t want to kill the moles (unless that is the only way).现在，我不想杀死痣（除非是唯一的出路） 。 But, oh my beautiful lawn.但是，哦，我美丽的草坪。

There was a few products which were power like substances which would discourage moles.有少数产品，其中电源类物质会劝阻痣。 But we have a large back yard for such a solution.但我们有一个大的后院为这样一种解决办法。

Then I came across a product I had never come across previously (likely because I had never encountered a mole problem before).然后我碰到的产物，我从来没有碰到以前（可能是因为我从来没有遇到一个问题之前，摩尔） 。

Return tomorrow to see what the product is and how we are using it.返回明天，看看有什么产品，以及我们如何使用它。 To continue with the next article in this series, simply select this link to继续与下篇文章在这一系列，只需选择此链接 Part 2第2部分 . 。
