Invasion!

If you find any answers pleas post them. We ahve a whole family tunneling under our garden. They must spend all their time looking for each other.

Chloe is a cross between a rough coated dachshund (mother) and a jack russell (father) so both she and Mungo would chase anything small and furry. Chloe caught a mole when I first moved here and Mungo used to dig up the mole hills and spread the soil everywhere in a effort to get to the moles. Now Chloe is really too old to bother. She does run around and sniff a lot but that's about it!

I had never heard of a bandicoot but have looked them up on the internet so now I know! Very cute looking - like little kangaroos. Thanks Marguerite.

The moles kept their distance when tortoises Josie, Jubilee and Junior were around.

But now, the Terrible Tortoise Trio is no longer a threat:
Two big 'uns are hibernating and Little 'Un is indoors.

All neighbourhood moles were sent a message by emole:
"THE COAST IS CLEAR ~ EMOLE ALL MOLES".

Some messages were sent by snailmole, so there's probably a second mole invasion on its way....backup troops from the other side of the trellis. A few of the moles could even afford to arrive by helicopter, having saved up enough air moles.

Best plan : put a spy camera in lady bowler. Hide the minicam inside a beetroot. Nobody will notice if she has extra lumps and bumps.

What a stroke of luck you cleaned your windows for better night time vision. Please upload photos from Beetroot Cam for further analysis.

Meanwhile it's advisable to be more careful in your choice of TV shows which attract the moles. Especially stop watching : Who Wants to be a Mole on Air :o)

lol tt

Sorry to hear about your mole invasion.
Hope you can get rid of them.

What a pain for you! You must be so disappointed at the mess in your tidy garden. I believe there are devices to deter moles - maybe if you look in gardening magazines, Garden Centres (or try googling them) you might find them. Good luck.

We had a mole in our last garden , I was told that one of you should hit the ground very hard with the back of a spade while your partner shouted at the mole to go some where else , we felt a bit silly doing it but we didn,t see it again ~~~

lol Amy i would love to know what your neighbours though of you and hubby doing that .
ive seen gardens full of mole hills when im in scotland, but thank goodness its one thing i dont have to deal with over here, they never made it across the irish sea.

TT - PML - Air Moles indeed......

Reminds me of that Jasper Carrot sketch 'There's Only One Way to Kill a Mole', where he describes cellotaping a torch to the barrel of a 10-bore shotgun and sitting on a swivelling stool in the middle of his lawn at night. When he sees a mole, he fires the gun, falls backwards off the stool and shoots all the apples out of his tree. 'At the end the garden looked like the Somme'. Classic :-)

lmao

He heeee - I've just found the sketch on You Tube:-

Sid - brilliant.
Jasper even mentions Gee's beetroots. :o)

What's up with Gee's beetroots?

Hi Sid - my beetroots rebelled while being cooked and spat all over the top of my cooker - but they did taste good!

Oh dear! Sorry to hear that! x-D

~we had them for a while but either the smoke canister or the sonic noise worked-unfortunately don't know which!~
