    Default Does anybody know......

    .....a method of getting rid of moles that actually works????? Since the snow melted off my lawn, I have about 25 mole hills all over my grass. We are surrounded by fields on 3 sides but irritatingly enough, there are no mole hills at all in the fields. Looks like I'm going to have to completely re-lay the lawn in the Spring, but I need a way of stopping them causing the damage before I do. Thanks.

    I'm afraid there isn't one. They were here first, garden around them like I do.

    My lawn is covered in worm mounds. The birds are having a field day!
    Snowmen fall from the sky unassembled!

    Get some mole traps from Gillock, or order them on line. Provided you don't get your "scent" on them they work a treat, or get on to "Youtube" and type in "rodenator" - now THAT would be a blast !!

    But it doesn't matter how many you kill or catch, if it is a good place for Moles, that is where they will be.

    You will probably struggle to get rid of them entirely, so you will need to be persistant. I do feel sorry for moles, there good housekeeping gets them a bad name! I believe moles themselves are generally solitary creatures so 1 mole per run. But if you catch one, another mole might come along and think "this is a nice run, I think i'll stay here" kinda thing. If you use a trap, you need to find the actual run and place it there, rather than at the bottom of where they dug. Hope that may be of some use.
