I only recently got one and when it was wombling around 100 yards down the garden it
didn't really matter. Now it's right up by the house interfering with my planting it
does matter.
I can get a mole trap easily but is there any way to put them off? If not, do I dig
down under the molehills to set the trap or what?
I'd prefer not to kill it if possible.


The old-fashioned way was to open up the run, put in a sprig of holly
and then close the run up again. Don't know how effective it is.
