Further reports next week when I take delivery - now how do I get
rid of a mole that has decided to move in recently?


Moles?
Have you got patience?
'Lightly' tread down the run.
Wait.
When moley returns he will try to use the old run. This will require
him to reinstate it.
You will see his progress as the run is re-established.
Quietly (moles are very sensitive to surface activity) position
yourself near his route.
When in range, apply a very positive size nine (or there abouts) boot
on his activity.
Job done.
Does it work?
It did on Sunday.
