Default Moles

I have read the FAQs and I'm sure this subject must crop up regularly but I am
desperate. I have tried the thing that makes an intermittant noise buried in
the ground, kids windmills, a pest exterminater and even,God help me,two empty
bottles at opposite ends of the garden, something a friend? said he saw on TV.
I am prepared to try anything,legal or otherwise. Neighbours would appreciate
it if any nudity occurred during the hours of darkness.

Stick a hose down the hole. Haven't tried it, but have heard it can be
successful.

Whenever my parents had moles in their garden, the local mole man would
turn up with an old bean can full of poisoned worms. Worked every time
without fail. He was rather old, and I don't suppose his type are about
much anymore, and has probably been replaced by a man in a white van and
space suit who consistantly fails to kill any moles.

Other people I know have had success by sitting in the garden with a
shotgun, and as soon as there is any movement of a molehill, blowing the
hell out of it. This may not be an appropriate method for everyone!
