B****y Moles !!!!

[Bunny]

Just looked out onto my beautiful lawn at the back of my garden to find a few large bits of raised soil, they weren't there when I was out there this morning, don't think they were there 2 hours ago when I was hanging the washing out. It has all the telltale signs of a mole. So any ideas on how I can get rid of them, I have read that you can pour a jeyes fluid mixture down the hole and the smell will get rid of them. Guess it's a trip to Homebase after dinner to see if they have anything. Got a feeling when I get back home from camping on Friday night I won't have much of a lawn left.

There are humane "sonic" mole scarers out there, I feel sorry for you and your lawn but I do like moles, they're so tiny to do all that digging.

Ever read Duncton Wood? great fantasy epic all about moles, I'd recomend it as a good read.

i got a spare trap if you wanna borrow it...little critters they are..
we got our trap for about 2/3 quid..and it caught him (her) after about a week..

Just had to laugh at DH smacking the lawn with a spade and swearing a lot

[Whassat]

lol..my dh got up at 5/6am to try and catch it..pmsl..garden patrol in the night..we had a cat come to visit us so that was a help...no help to dh.....i think they get possessed...btw, we tried bleach and creosalt but nothing..did you see the pic? :cheesy:

[Bunny]

If you have one of those tune things that are inside some greetings cards they absolutely hate them, drop one down the hole playing it's tune and they run a mile. Evidently, i've never tried it lol

A kid's windmill stuck in the soil is supposed to work too ... apparently ....

and if it doesn't at least your desicrated lawn looks nice:hysterica sorry - going back to my hole now.....

lmao :hysterica was he muttering 'bad mole , bad bad mole '

I agree with trying the Sonic Mole Sticks though, they worked on my parents lawn :D

[Bunny]

I'm convinced it was my guinea pigs that invited hom over for a party while we were away, trying to find a humane mole trap online, I can't bear to buy one of the nasty claw ones that crush it to death

[Bunny]

and something else, me and DH can't decide on a name for him, any ideas ???

[Whassat]

little critter!
the trap we had, didn't crush it (well it must have done i suppose), but it didn't look gory or anything.
do you want it gone?...i don't think theres any other way (sorry)

[Miranda]

Hahaha can just imagine you all bashing about looking for moles!

We caught a mole with a trap once, trap went off, mole was underground, dead, next to the trap but not in it and had obviously pegged it with shock!

All this mole talk reminds me of my favourite book for reading aloud, 3-4 year olds love it.
