Flowerpower just called from home to say that the moles have past their exams and graduated from small hills at the side to mountains in the middle.
Any suggestions on getting rid?
Bearing in mind we have cured the previous garden carnage left by the diggety dog by building stalag luft IV at the side of the house.
Make them a little summer house at the side of the garden, with a little patio and everything?
Bury them alive.
Keep an eye on them. If they change shape or colour then go see your GP who will remove them for you.
as long as it's not at counter!
mole traps i'm afraid. nothing else will work.

I think you're making a mountain out of a molehill there.

Short term fix 🙂
Ok so a quick lesson on how weird/unpredictable the internet is - Try Searching for "Massive Expolsion" on You Tube - maybe NTSFW, depends on your IT guys i suppose.
Wait till you get a hard frost, then early in the morning go out with a piece of thin plywood just bigger than the molehill. Slide it under the frozen lump, then transport it to a neighbours perfect lawn. Dead centre is most pleasing to the eye, remove wood then wait to see their horrified faces when they think they've got moles. It's even better if they come storming out and destroy it to find their grass is okay underneath.

Tell them to work harder:

I'm no good with moles.
where are you based? My mate is a mole catcher... no genuinely he is!
Introduce them to the rat in your kitchen?

Look to the hills young man!
@ Bike Pawl - while I would enjoy this; our dogs, prior to recent "security upgrades" left some presents of their own for the neighbours...
You need a mole catcher:

We get moles and just scoop the hill up and scatter in the flower beds cats get hours of amusement at the hills springing up.

I however only mow the lawn when it's looking a bit wild or to take a pic of a new bike for posting on here and generally couldn't be arsed about the garden.
Is this what they're like?
I've seen an online video (likely on here) of someone firing a compressed air cannon down mole holes to collapse the tunnels on the blighters heads. An option? 😉
We used a shotgun at my old house, mind that you don't blow your foot off.

Where do i get one of those?
Aircannontrackworld?
Invite a gnome over. It worked when they infested the royal golf course.
Time to find out if they like the smell of napalm in the morning...

I thought this was a euphemism!! Wrong type of moles wrong type of garden! 😯
Leave the poor buggers alone you've probably plonked a great big block on top of their house and keep mowing their roof Or move to the Isle of Man we don't have them.
got a double in one of my traps once.

Having neat flat grass is apparently so important that we'd kill for it.
And then proudly take pictures of the slaughter to show to others.
Humans really are strange creatures sometimes. 😕
I've heard milk bottles sunk into the garden with tops off humm and this makes them mad! Otherwise traps or guns...
We've moles, but its only on the bottom lawn - so I've told the Gardener just to collect the top soil and we'll have a new bed in one of the courtyards 😉
Well, thats Wind in the Willows ruined for me. 😥
You should be ashamed of yourself.
leave the poor buggers alone? its spring, they're building houses to attract lady moles, let them have their moley fun
What to do...
Give them names and tell everyone you've got a couple of pet moles.
Please don't kill them though, they've got as much right to live on that piece of land as you do. Land registry or not.
A neighbour puts sticks in the molehill with an upside down bottle on the top - seems to work as any moles come into our garden and not theirs.
Moles on your own lawn? You lucky bugger! The earth makes great groundbait mix for angling.
I have to [s]walk[/s] cycle at least 200 yards to get fresh mole hill soil!
