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 should have done something about it when I saw the molehills first right
down the bottom of the garden and thought it didn't matter. Because I was
trying to be kind-hearted. Bad idea.
