you should be able to get "mole smokes" at a decent hardware shop or country / farmers store. They are like fireworks that give off a strong sulpherous smoke, you just light it, drop it in the hole and cover the hole. Works well for rabbits too.

MY OLD DAD ALWAYS SAID IF YOU BURY SOME BOTTLES
( up to the neck without lids on them )
THE WIND BLOWS ROUND THEM MAKING A NOISE MOLES DONT LIKE BUT I HAVE ALSO HEARD THE MOTH BALL TRICK WORKS TO

Oh, that's another way. I know 2 places now.

First catch some male moths ?

I know where you can get mothballs.

Making a note of all this and will give it a whirl when I'm back from holiday...thanks so much..I'll try it all I have absolutely no lawn left now and as I type I can see a little nose sticking out of one of the mounds...grrrrrrrrrrrr xx

Don't whatever you do buy one of those things you put batteries in and stick in the ground where the tunnels are........we did and they tunneled straight past it!!!!

A molecatcher told me that even if you get rid of them, other moles will use the tunnels and take over the territory after a few months. The tunnels near the surface are only feeding tunnels, they have other tunnels that are deeper down. If you use humane traps, they are liable to die if you don't find them quickly as they are very easily stressed.

They tend to follow boundary lines and ours went all along the path and under the patio and all around the bungalow walls, then along the path in the front garden. All our slabs need relaying!!!

You can get a foul smelling liquid called Renardine from garden centres. You soak a rag and put it in the tunnel and they don't like the smell so clear off! In theory anyway. Be careful with it though. My OH couldn't open it and managed to ruin a new white t shirt when he spilt it down him!!!! Good luck.

Mothballs placed in the run are very effective - moles detest them, but no idea where you would find mothballs these days.

Tec.

get some of those little hand held windmill thingys that kids have, plant them,the vibrations from the sticks repel moles


buy shotgun !

ha ha...read back...got it LOLOLOLOL xx

I most likely am hon...too hot and bothered with all the packing to pay proper attention lol x

I think you're missing it, lol

I didn't catch them..they used to burrow up through the earth...resorted to traps in the end as it was the only thing that worked with the rats x x

How did you catch them in the first place then?

No but I have been known to do that before with the rat holes when they appeared in the chicken shed....it didn't deter them lol .

xx

Have you tried putting broken glass in their holes?

(leaves the gate wide open for the comeback......)

They're too short sighted to read the signs Eldrick I think :0)
