Not having much luck. I removed the trap near the house and put it in
the run down the garden and waited for a week. then he pops up again
next to the house so the trap is there again If I cannot catch him soon,
I'll have to get a vermin man in.
Its not that I don't like moles,.but he is undermining my paths.



We have our guy in trapping now; starting to see really a lot of mole
hills and as usual they are undermining a few new tree plantings. We
tried ourselves for a couple of weeks but were (as usual) unable to catch
anything. It's definitely not as easy as it looks...

It seems so easy.. get a mole trap and dig down to their run and set it and
catch it. I did that., no good . I'm up with Jasper Carrot to blast it out
of the ground with a shotgun. except I don't have one :-)
Its moving toward my block paving which cost me 3 grand so unfortunately
it might be a deceased mole soon.
One more step toward my block paving and I'll get a serious moleman in.
Foxman also does moles.
