Hey look everyone the good people of Swinging heaven have found another animal they want to kill bolt

As far as I can see most people are against killing it ..... but it is interesting that this completely harmless animal that does nothing at all other than provide lovely sifted soil ready to mix in with ya potting compost for ya hanging baskets, is reviled by most when the fox that causes all sorts of problems to other peoples livlihoods is loved by all!!
So as was suggested in the fox thread , why don`t you make your gardens mole proof ?? dunno
:giggle: funny how things keep coming back, very good point
The Mole called by the Saxons 'the ploughman' is useful in poorly drained soil as it aids the flow of water. It removes all forms of soil pests from grubs to beetles.. Sadly they also eat worms. The main reason for killing this poor little chap seems to be it adds interest to an other wise manotanous green lawn.
If you insist on killing this friendly little chap try;
A stick of dynamite in the tunnel, This will send a compression wave down the tunnel, collapsing the moles lungs. It is full-prof and by filling the resulting hole with water you will gain an attractive feature.
The fox, they will control moles by eating them. Another reason to leave the berated fox to thrive, but the holes will be bigger where the fox has had dinner.
Then there is the cat solution. To stop moles coming into your garden buy your own mole. This mole will keep others out.
an update folks on the mole!!
I have been reading about moles from the internet & found that its mating season :shock:

His has always wanted his own golf course :giggle:
Don't think it likes our lawn its full of clay underneath - its just staying in our borders at the min
Hows your hole hun- did you have plenty of buckets handy last night lol
Hubby got another builder in today. He is going to sort out the costings for repairs. Said it shouldn't be too much. Agreed it was probably the builder next door who blocked our drain with his rubble, but hubby has cleared it out without taking pics so we are sunk. I am furious but hubby likes to live a quiet life. Bloody expensive option this time. Oh well. Getting de-humidifiers in to try and dry out the damp. Plaster coming in at end of week to sort out ceiling in the mean time hubby is on the floor in the dining room. (We don't sleep together, cause I kick him all night and am awake at around 3am for an hour most nights) Drain pipe to be replaced .. thats the least of our problems but should solve some of the water flooding in. Hole in side of house and roofing to be sorted too. I'm on street with guitar and cap now singing lol
Cat has had a nervous breakdown and is clinging to the window cause its the only dry, clear place. When the builders come in next week I'm sure she will pack her bags.

Depends on what size garden and the surrounding green you have. Vibrations are usually the best deterrant as previously stated. Some also have slight electric shocks while others prefer to attempt to place metal sheeting all around the border of your garden.
Moles are very territoral, and are often found alone. Its really only the nake mole rat found in africa that huddle together. The Townsend Mole (dig the most and cover the largest area) are the hardest to control.
Best of luck with your new found friends.
Mole.
Have you ever had the miss-fortune to have party folk next door. Take my word for this. Set up a party, loud music, Pynk Floyd is good. The moles will soon put up a for sale board, and move out.
