He's back....

I guess its a mole, made a right mess for you

Don't worry, Homebird :) The mole is being a real nuisance this year and have travelled from the back garden into the front and is popping up through membrane and gravel :( Apparently this is the time of year for young ones to expand their territory so goodness knows what the garden will look like soon.

Oh dear!

So sorry i put a tick aswell, it would drive me mad :(

oops i put like to not thinking Gee,, naughty mole

I am considering a humane trap (if there is one for moles) because it is beginning to get me down. There is waste ground just outside the village where it could be released. I was amazed to see a mole crossing the road recently - my daughter and I couldn't believe our eyes :)

not sure either if they do them Gee, watched a program on this man and son who set poison for farmers and even though they are pests i felt upset as they have the right to live to ,

That's my problem, Sanbaz, although I do moan when I walk down my path and all the slabs move under my feet! I keep telling myself they were here before me but it's not helping at the moment :)

i bet it isnt Gee, not sure what you can do though ;o(

I sympathise with you Gee, when an animal comes into your garden and does its thing, when there are acres of land outside for it to tunnel through, or make a den or whatever. Moles must have taken the place of hegehogs to cross the road.

I found a humane mole trap on Ebay so have sent off for one. It was under £3 so if it doesn't work I haven't lost much. Will let you know what happens!

good luck Gee, we wont tell the farmer you put them on his land hahah sshhh

I was thinking of exporting it to Ireland, Sanbaz, as I understand they don't have moles there and it would be wrong not to share, wouldn't it? !!!

lol i totally agree Gee, share and share alike thats what i say ;o))

We had one once somebody told us that one of you should hit the ground very hard with a spade while the other one shouted at it to go away , funny thing was we never saw it again LOL....

lol Gee ;o)))

Didn't someone on here recently say that ferret or cat poo down the holes helps to get rid of them?? I may have been dreaming though or it may have been for some other pest!

over 20 mole hills ive counted on some occasions in my garden..

I bought a humane trap and sited it in the garden but a couple of days later forgot I had put it there and trod on it, it broke into several pieces! That seemed to be enough to scare Mr Mole off and, so far, he has not been back. I should think all this wet weather is making life very hard for them as their tunnels must get flooded. Our water table is very high here and today my lawns are under water :(

sorry to here that....much the same this way too :-( in gardens and fields.
