overnight on Tuesday jumped me into activity. I've set the trap

It's now undermining my paving. It has to go. Sorry Mr Mole.

well, it's been sprung twice, no mole. No tunnel either now, it's
been
blocked off, are they that intelligent to do this? Rats are.

I wouldn't be surprised, I'd also suspect that moles are like rats an
will avoid anything niffing of "human".

Have moved the trap further down the garden today, although the
olehiils
are older, the tunnels between them are better

You'll be out with a sivel chair, sticky tape, torch and shotgun
soon. B-)

Just pour Jeyes Fluid or unwanted perfume/aftershave down the middle of
the
molehill.

:-) If that worked, molecatchers would be out of business.

I lived in rural Devon for 28 years and never met a molecatcher.

When we lived on the Scottish mainland, the gamekeeper up the road had
it as a busy sideline at golfcourses. I used him too as the area was
heavily infested and he was more effective than all other DIY methods
put together. My son in England also lives next door to a fulltime
rural pest controller, including molecatching.
