[Closed] Mole problem

There was another thread on this recently....from memory the responses ranged from it was his house first so eff off you nasty man, to someone posting a picture of his mole trap with two dead moles in!

I'd just go with the sign, or fire an air canon down there-that'll learn the little shits 🙂

Rezist is an animal repellent active ingredient W/W aluminium ammonium sulphate, which I think is the same active as Scoot available in garden centres try watering onto lawn. Apparently best done whilst raining for mole treatments!

As long as you don't have a mole of moles living in your garden you'll be OK, or at least that'd be what Avagadro might say.

Sorry. I have no idea what to do with actual moles, but I've waited a long time to be able to make a chemistry joke 😛

Apparently those little windmills that kids get, stuck into the molehills. Gets rid of them. Something to do with the vibrations.
I might have dreamed it, but sounds plausible.
Can't do any harm.

Prepared for ridicule over above

Talunex 😉

Except them or be prepared to kill them. I seem to remember they work on a 13 hr cycle. Mole traps or look out of moment, put the spade in behind them otherwise the will run back up burrow and dig them out.

North Korea might be able to help out!!!

Get some of those blades that are used for those fine razors for singletrackgentlemen and stick them in the ground on their daily route. As they're haemophiliacs, you are not responsible for their deaths, it is merely a result of their intensive in-breeding 😉

Failing that, put a bass cab on the lawn where they are most active and play dubstep through it continously. They aren't fond of low frequencies apparently.

You need to get a gnome, that'll get rid of the mole. Then you'll need to figure out how to get rid of the gnome

Something smelly to drive them away - I might have read mothballs suggested, yonks ago, or Jeyes Fluid more recently.

Go into your neighbours garden dressed as a girl mole and soon it will be their problem.

Some of you lot are cruel people! 😮
I can't kill Mr Mole!

Moles are very territorial so if they think there are other moles in the area they'll either try to drive them away or move on themselves. So you need to fool them into thinking that other moles are present - the windmill / vibration thing can sometimes achieve this, but a more effective approach is

Wait for a reasonably mild, dark, overcast night then arefully remove the loose soil from the tops of two mole hills, ideally ones that are about 2 - 3ft apart.

Stick the ol' [url= ]naked mole rat [/url]down the first hole. You can decorate your mole rat with two grains of rice and two puy lentils to make it more realistic.

Then down the down the second hole (which needs to be about 2 - 3ft away so you can reach it while your mole rat is in the first hole - this is also why its important for it to be dark) explain politely but firmly 'I'm sorry but I'm afraid this holes already taken'. A bit like when you get on the train mid-route and someones sitting on your seat but the little LED is showing that its reserved between Carlisle and Wigan. Like that - but don't get your cock out in that latter scenario.

Definitely that ^

Is this mole at the counter?

Concrete. Fill the holes in.

I am not a doctor

Stinking them out seemed to work for me last year, they've not been back since. Smell is quite important to them and their respiratory system works with low oxygen levels. I just stuffed some creosote/oil soaked rags down the holes.

Get a Honey Badger

Honey Badger aint scared of nothing. Euugh, look at him chasing those moles. Naaasty

Can I also be the first to say, this really isn't a big deal.Stop making a mountain out of a molehill.

😳

I ought to clarify that 'honey badgers' and 'lying face down on the lawn in the dark with you knob down a hole,' should be treated as 'either/or' solutions, each effective in their own way but its often counterproductive to deploy both strategies.

I'd say its fair game. They like unused spaces with no vibrations so import some kids!

lying face down on the lawn in the dark with you knob down a hole

Ahh, fond memories of my teenage years and dirty Simone....
