    I popped on here to see if anyone can help - I am at the end of my tether with moles. I am only garden in my street to have them, and they have been reappearing for about 3 years. I have had the council out to get rid of them, which they did the first year, and I re lawned then they came back again, I am worried that my garden will sink with all the tunnels under the grass.Can anyone help????

    i had the same problem in my garden, then i brought a mole deterrent from ââ?¬Å?crocusââ?¬Â itââ?¬â?¢s a high powered sonic mole repeller! It is safe to use near children and family pests and is chemical-free.

    It�s a large tube that takes batteries, you burry it deep in the soil. And the moles cant stand the noise and runaway.

    We havenâ��t had any moles now for about 4 years and we have only had to change the batteries once , they cost �£19.00 and are worth every penny.

    If your lawn area is fairly small, say 100 sq metres, you might be able to see where the moles are entering the lawn from a side path or shrub bed. During this dry spell moles should be going deep but for some reason ( known to themselves ) they wreak havoc on the surface. There should be a definite track where they enter your lawn, try placing a mole trap just there. Make sure that when you dig out the hole to put the trap in that you leave the mole tunnell as clean as possible. No soil impeding the tunnell. Then fill back with turf around the mole trap and make sure no daylight gets in, and you should have success at trapping until all are caught. It may be one or two culprits.
    Hope this is useful.
